Sports Rules

One rule I don’t agree with is “You can't purchase a "blank" authentic jersey from your favorite team with no name on the back, then stick your own name and number on the jersey ... well, unless you want to be an enormous dork”. I don’t agree with this because I just don’t see why it’s a bad thing. Like, you can support your favorite team and if you want to put your name or something else on the back you can personalize it and have fun with it. I don’t see why it’s a bad thing and I don’t see why its frowned upon.

 One rule I agree with is “Just because you supported a team that won a championship, it doesn't give you the right to turn into a pompous, insufferable schmuck. Remember this”. I agree with this a lot and I have witnessed this on Twitter a lot. Pittsburgh Penguins fans got so cocky when they won the Stanley Cup. Everyone on Twitter hated their fanbase because they were so full of themselves. When the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup, all of their Twitter fanbase wanted to be chill and not be like the Penguins’ fanbase. We wanted to be better and we wanted to be humble about our team winning the Stanley Cup

Sleeping affecting sports and school

My sleep affects both my performance in both my academics and my sports. With my academics, sleeping can affect how well I do in class, how much I pay attention, how much I remember, or if I even go or not. Not getting enough sleep leads to me being lazy and not being as responsible as I should be. Personally, I need at least 5 hours of sleep to be productive. It’s lower than most people’s minimum, but that’s due to the fact that I’ve been getting little sleep every night for years and I’m used to functioning on little sleep.

With sports, it’s kind of the same thing. If you don’t get enough sleep, it greatly affects your performance in your games and practices. Before game days, I try to get 7-8 hours of sleep so I can be ready for the game the next day. I’ve played a baseball game where the previous night I got no sleep at all. There was a noticeable difference in how I played and I played worse. Since then I try to get more sleep for games because I know if I don’t get enough I won’t play as good.

Sport that isn't a sport

Something that isn’t considered sports by most people that really could be a sport, is video games. It meets all of the 6 stages of the criteria.

1. Does it involve competition? Yes it does, multiple people or teams can compete in many different games to see who wins

2. Does it require physical exertion? Yes, mainly your hands and arms, but yes it involves physical exertion

3. Can you write about it on a sports website? Yes, it makes sense. 2 people or teams compete to see who can be the best. Same thing as any other sport

4. Can you choose sides? Yes you can cheer for a certain person or team

5. Would more be entertained than not entertained? I think so, even if you aren’t into video games you can be interested in how good the players are and the intensity of the matches

6. Would you do it for fun? Yes, actually it’s one of my goals to be playing in competitive video game tournaments someday

Super Bowl Era

Over the years, football has changed in many ways. Some of the ways football has changed is by new teams being added to the league, the playstyle evolving, and the equipment that the players wear. In 1966, the start of the Super Bowl Era, there were 15 teams in the league. As time went on, new teams got added every few years to make the league bigger. To this day in 2019 there are 32 teams in the NFL. The playstyle has also evolved over time. The pace of the game gradually gets faster and faster, along with new rules being added to the game. Another thing that changed is the equipment. Helmets are the most noticeable thing that has changed, but almost all of the gear has changed since the start of the Super Bowl Era. There are more things that have changed but these are just three of those many things
