Spain and the War in Iraq Heather Gist Upper Iowa University Although Spain’s stay in Iraq was short, it most certainly did not go unnoticed; while most Spaniards were against the joining of US forces in Iraq, Spain provided assistance against the beliefs of their people and while in Iraq were accused of hanus crimes such as torture and soon after would call for a quick pull out. While overwhelming polls in Spain were showing 90 percent of Spain’s population against its people going to assist in the war, Aznar, made it clear he wanted troops sent over to assist in a no combat role. Citing the need for staffing military hospitals to assist with treating the wounded as well as to distribute supplies which consisted of food among other items. Throughout the widespread criticism, Aznar’s government
Under the coaching of Weeb Ewbank, the 1969 New York Jets made their first, and last, Super Bowl appearance for the next 42 years (Freier, 20). During these years, the Jets have had promising plays, players and coaching staffs, but always ended in an unsuccessful Super Bowl attempt. Breaking down a season by players, plays and unfixable mistakes on the field can provide a reason for a team’s poor performance. The downfall of the 2011 New York Jets was an end result of the lack of teamwork and mismanagement in the coaching department. As a result of so many failed attempts, the blame has been heavily put onto the quarterback, Mark Sanchez.
He didn’t deserve to be the head coach for the Dallas Cowboys, especially after having to follow such an amazing coach in Bill Parcells (whom came out of retirement and is now the manager of the Miami Dolphins, in which he brought an 1 – 15 team to a playoff in one season.) He’s has shown all of us that he isn’t capable of coaching any team with such high expectations. But we do know that he is capable of getting the entire city of Dallas and the entire fan based of the Cowboys hyped up and disappointing them all. Wade Phillips has lost many respect of the extremely large fan base of America’s team, and it may be hard for him to get a head coaching job in the NFL unless it’s a team that’s just desperate for a head
Rudy’s chances of dressing for a game were slim to none because Devine was a harder head to crack. After two years already being on the team one of the final games were coming against Georgia Tech and Rudy still hasn’t dressed. That was than the team line up, head captains saw the dedication, motivation and spiritual mind Rudy had. Beginning with the captain entering Devine’s office saying he wants Rudy to take his spot for the final game. Devine said he lost his mind and he wouldn’t do such a thing.
Director Ron Howard and producer Brian Grazer created the movie “Cinderella Man” a film based on a true story of a boxer named Jim Braddock. Staring Russell Crowe, Renee Zellweger and Paul Giamatti. It was about his life after losing his boxing money in the stock market crash and how he got back into boxing after. The movie did a magnificent job on portraying the great depression but didn’t exactly go along with what truly happened in the life of Jim Braddock. The movie inspired by the life of legendary athlete Jim Braddock, once a never knocked out light heavy weight boxer forced into retirement after repeated losses.
A lot of the teams like the system because sometimes if they didn't have a very good chance of winning the actually National Championship title. Like one athletic director said “'qualifying status was a priority for our football program'”(Whitt, p.1) because that was the goal for every team so they thought they had a chance in being chosen to play in the game even if it was pure luck. Also one of the biggest arguments that the against used is that they need to protect the bowl games. One guy said that '”a playoff system would destroy the traditional pageantry of the bowl games”'( Herald, p. 1) that it will ruin all that the bowl games stand for that they cant put the playoffs around the bowl games. Football is its own sport in many was one being its unique championship.
All of his dreams were shattered and he was trying to cope with just being an everyday person without known fame The Playoff game was based on racism. It was sad that after they had the coin toss that it had to be in a neutral place because they were scared of what the Carter Cowboys fans were gone do since the Permian Panthers were predominately white. The next year Coach Gaines led the undefeated Permian Panthers to the state playoff. He had won is confidence back from the
The NFL fans don’t think so. If the leader of the NFL and the fans of the NFL don’t believe this is good for the sport then why did it go on for nearly ten years? Many players have come forth stating they knew of the bounty but it was only for legal hits on other players. No payouts were ever made for illegal hits or harm to other players from questionable actions. Although the players may be supporting the coach’s actions, most are calling for their heads…and possibly for good reason.
America intervenes in many wars that it should not have. America has a past of fighting for freedom and wanting to prove itself to powerful European countries. Ever since gaining their independence in 1776, Americans have felt the need to prove themselves in the world stage and feel important to the rest of the world. Americans are power hungry, and want to help others just for the selfish need of wanting to appear like good samaritans. They donate to other countries and the needy in hopes of getting recognized and applauded for good deeds, never simply just for the good feeling of helping another human
Despite Tressel’s inaction, Ohio State only suspended their prized coach for 2 games of the 2011 football season and fined him a measly $250,000 of his $3.5 million annual salary (Schlabach). Ohio State takes pride in its excellence in their sports and academics program, but his punishment was weak (Schlabach). Tressel recruited Terrell Pryor, won some important football games, but it was nothing more than an act. Tressel was dishonest to the NCAA policy just for a football title. He deserved to be fired for the stunts he pulled but was not.
