He implied that football is "played in every country and every race and religion" and he also focused on the members of Fifa and UN to show the importance of them. Annan in his essay also admired the transparency in football because he believes that it is missing in the UN.
“Athletes should be Tested for Drugs” DeVry University Summary/Reaction In the article titled “Athletes should be Tested for Drugs,” authors Lee, Deborah, Griswold and Ann. They argue that bans on use of illegal drugs in sports need to be enforced. The authors claims that the use of illegal drugs, in sports should not be justified and try to keeping the integrity of sports. People pay to view the games, but never would justify allowing athletes to break rules in obvious ways. Such as steroids, that improves athlete’s performance increasing 40 percent the chances of winning each games.
Marijuana Use in the NFL The controversy continues with the topic of NFL players using marijuana for therapeutic purposes. Many agree, many disagree. Ask me how I feel and I'll tell you it only benefits them and hurts no one else, so why the hell not? In my opinion, medical marijuana should be permitted to be used by NFL players in order for them to achieve maximum performance. Studies have shown that medical marijuana has been proven just as effective as painkillers and other prescribed drugs.
Many believe marijuana is a stress reliever and a way to forget all their problems, but if one would realize the actual effects and the difficulty to be able to “cut back” on smoking/eating it, the drug lobby would not be trying so hard to con voters into believing marijuana is completely safe. To face this problem the organized participation of society is required through actions that put the health of individuals and communities before other interests. Including being worried about the number of marijuana consumers among children and adolescents in the world, and particularly worried about the age decreasing for first timers. More importantly get closer to decision makers and ask them to develop well-balanced national policies for supply reduction and demand reduction by initiating prevention programs, and offering rehabilitation as means too face this social phenomenon society calls the drug
Some states in our country do test for anabolic steroids. It should be a mandatory issue to be able to test not just high school football players, but all student athletes around the country for steroids. Even in some cases schools are testing their athletes for marijuana and opiates. These drugs are not even performance enhancing drugs. Schools should save their money on those drug tests and actually test for something that is performance-enhancing and that is also hurting these young athletes.
The 7:30 report have tried to leave the audience feeling uncomfortable as they want the audience feeling the same about the actions of the men taking the drugs. With the use of the timing and placement of shots the 7:30 report can further support the argument made against the titans. As Adan Harvey talks about the struggles the golds coast titans are facing being displayed are videos of titans players avoiding media. This looks bad on the gold coast titans and leaves the audience positioned against the
The reason for this, in my opinion, is the fact that the US Government wants the public to believe that marijuana is “bad” and should remain illegal. This “cover-up” began in the early 1900’s and still remains in effect today. Many Americans are suffering unjustly because of the illegalization of a drug that is safer than any legal drug on the market today. The hemp plant has many industrial uses and medicinal
“Medical Marijuana is an Insult to Our Intelligence” This opinion piece, written by Charles Lane, starts off with the author describing how the Justice Department is dealing with people who smoke or sell pot. The article not only has statistical points but also the authors own opinion and humor. The author believes that although marijuana is a blessing for terminally ill patients, it does not have the ability to calm oneself. He explains the testing drugs must go through to meet Drug Administration to get his point through. Reading this article, I also find defense cases about medical marijuana.
We send so much money to keep it at bay,but yet most of the people who are locked is because of small crimes that include marijuana offenses. If you ask me it seems as if the government is up to something or this is all part of an elaborate plan. The government if they want to could regulate the drug and benefit the economy. “If we substitute a tax on marijuana cigarettes equal to the difference between the local production cost and the street price people currently pay--that is, transfer the revenue from the current producers and marketers (many of whom work with organized crime) to the government, leaving all other marketing and transportation issues aside we would have revenue of (say) $7 per [unit]. If you could collect on every cigarette and ignore the transportation, marketing, and advertising costs, this comes to over $2 billion on Canadian sales and substantially more from an export tax, and you fore-go the costs of enforcement and deploy your
Certain Hindu sects in India used marijuana for religious purposes and stress relief. However, doctors did believe that consumption of marijuana in excess caused impotence, blindness and “seeing devils”. In modern times hemp is used for a wide variety of purposes including cordage of varying tensile strength, clothing, nutritional products and various industrial purposes. Making marijuana illegal in North America has helped create many street gangs who profit from the sale of a plant that is less harmless than alcohol and less addictive than coffee. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the benefit of legalization of marijuana from financial and social aspects, and also from its benefits in providing relief to many patients across the world.
