Brief Situation summary: a. The issue that the NFL is facing is fans in complete outrage over a very controversial ruling made by replacement referees, and later backed by the NFL, during the Seattle Seahawks game against the Green bay Packers on Monday September 24th, which lead to a 14-12 victory for the Seahawks. The ruling is that the touchdown scored by Seahawks receiver Golden Tate was ruled as “joint possession” since the ball was also in the arms of Packers safety M.D. Jennings. Under NFL rules, joint possessions results in offensive possession that gave the Seahawks the winning touchdown.
Did he really need your attention? Was it worth being yelled at by your coach? Was it worth it worth it throwing away your dreams and hard work down the drain? To me the answer is a big fat no. It wouldn’t have taken any absence of conscience to run right by him, and he wouldn’t have lost any sleep over it.
I could not ever participate in the decisions she made with this minor. I feel a person like this is very sick and needs help. NFL Coach Accused of Targeting Opposing Players Do you think the individual made the best decision possible given the circumstances? In the Sean Payton (head coach) case, I feel he did not think through his decision making thoroughly. He should have known that he would eventually get caught at some point.
*d. More than two thirds of athletes think that winning is more important than being considered a good sport. Title: Levels of Moral Reasoning 3.

Role Models “You can hate if you want to, you can hate me if you want to but I love me some me” for all of you non- ESPN junkies like myself or frequent Monday night football viewers the quote may mean nothing to you but the words of a self- centered and cocky individual and you know what… you’re right, but in the sports world this outburst is known as the epic rant Terrell Owens barked towards a former teams fan base during a bitter rivalry game against the Philadelphia Eagles. I know Terrell Owens may not seem like the prototypical role model like let’s say a Sonia Sotomayor who blew the sexiest and racial doors right off the hinges by not only becoming a part of a select few women to hold a U.S Supreme court seat but becoming the first
He would hurt but then would ignore my pain as a consequence to what he did. He is used to it. He has done it before. I sometimes burst in this feeling of frustration because I cant do anything about it. It has already done its damage.

Nick explains that Jordan is “moved her ball from a bad lie in the semi-final round” suggesting that she is dishonest.

Evidence, including a recent PBS documentary titled, “League of Denial”, does seem to support the claims that the league had for years hid their knowledge of knowing about the severity of concussions in their sport. “PBS investigated those truths, and through great journalism revealed just how bad the denial of the NFL was. For quite some time, the NFL was not willing to reveal any type of information that could hurt viewership, no matter how severe the scientific findings were” (Beers). It can’t be denied however that the NFL has recently taken drastic measures to protect the safety of its players. Promoting increased awareness of the dangers of concussions, donating money for research, as well as changing rules to protect players seem to be steps in the right
He then went on to argue that sport is already economically unfair and poorer nations are disadvantaged. Olivier also indicated that he felt that the £300 million spent on drug testing at the Olympics could have been better spent. He concluded by saying that most of us applaud musicians who produce their best work whilst under the influence of drugs which shows hypocrisy as we single out and punish athletes for the same behaviour. Tim Chappell fought his corner by not referring to any of the points made by Olivier, but starting by saying that 'sport is glorious.' He explained with the point with the idea that sport is about creating extraordinary moments and drug taking would simply be cheating.
