The highly anticipated rookie debut of Ben Simmons will have to wait a little longer than we expected. Simmons suffered an injury to his foot that was caused in practice in early October and he has successfully had surgery to correct it. The timetable for his return has been pegged at three months (via ESPN.com). So, as bad as this is, it could be worse and we will hopefully get to see him play sometime in December or January. Obviously, this injury is a depressing start for Simmons, but it may…

Swish!!!!! There's another bucket from Lebron James, who is the highest paid athlete and who also makes 71 million dollars a year. Professional athletes take time away from their lives. They deserve to have high salaries. They take time away from their families and their everyday lives. Some athletes put their lives on the line. Just for our entertainment, but we as fan repay them by packing the stands, by cheering for them, by supporting them through every win and every lost. Athletes like…

In today’s society there is noting that captures the hearts of the masses quite like a typical sporting event. From basketball to American football fans all over the world are always raving to see two teams engage in the highest levels of competition.

Sports in fact can bring out the worst and most violent tendencies that mankind has…

Virginia’s coast is seen as the highlight of the state. The only gem that should be protected at all cost. So we pour millions of dollars to beautify the beach and bring in more people. We do this because in the end more people means more money. This mentality has made us blind to the fact that we have other wetlands in far greater danger than the beach. Marshes and swamps are just as valuable in what they offer the community. Factoring in the knowledge makes wetlands worth saving, not for the…

believe an athlete is paid for how good and talented he/she is. I believe only the best athletes who are at their prime are the ones who are paid the most, and every other average athlete make enough for a good living and with certain perks all professional athletes have. In sports usually the best athletes are the ones in commercials, tv shows, getting sponsorship deals, etc. , average athletes are not usually know and have small fan bases. The athletes who are in there best moment are the ones…

To be a professional athlete, it is usually someone's dream. It's not something that someone can just say it's what they want. But to be a professional athlete, they have to truly want it and believe that they can become it. It is not an easy thing to become. A lot of people don't make it. That person has to be dedicated to it. In a professional sport, there are drafts. Thousands of people apply for the draft but only a couple hundred actually get drafted. Being a professional athlete requires a…

Kairos: The Significance of Time and Circumstances in Speech According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, kairos is defined as “a time when conditions are right for the accomplishment of a crucial action: the opportune and decisive moment.” The Greek term has been an important subject within the scope of rhetoric since ancient times, mentioned by philosophers and rhetoricians such as Socrates, because it is an essential piece of the rhetorical puzzle. It helps speakers address their audience…

In sociology, one’s playing field is a gathering of all social field situations an individual is born into including family, gender, social class, education, race, and religion. Every person has a different gathering of important social fields and each of these fields have an influence on an individual's possibilities and their level of competition required to reach success and meet goals in their life. Obstacles and privileges are present in each field leading to either helping a person reach…

My research is about searching for ways to lengthen a dancer’s performing career while using Laban Movement Analysis as the primary tool for research and solution. In defining “career longevity” for this specific research, I am focusing on preventing dance related injuries in order to lengthen the number of years of performing on stage. The average dancer stops performing in their 30’s. Increasing the longevity of movement ability positively correlates with increased performance opportunities…
