I have a love for sports. You can call me a sport fanatic. The NBA and NFL are the two most watched sports in the U.S. I have played both sports and I can say that I love football way more. They are totally different, but at the same time they have similarities. They include physical contact, a goal, money, and players. The ways that they are used are just different. The NFL can be the most physical sport ever. A lot of hitting and pushing is involved. In the NBA you get only a limited amount hitting and pushing. If you don’t abide by the rules, and you do too much contact, then you will have a foul called on you. Therefore, in the NFL, you have a better chance getting a serious injury. The NBA consist a hoop, which is the goal on each side of the court. The NFL has two goals on each side of the field, an in zone and a field goal post. The two goals have a different purpose. One is for kicking field goals for three or one point, and one is to run into for six points. It is harder in football to score because you have a longer way to run, which makes the game more interesting. In the NBA the court is smaller and you don’t have a long space between goals, which makes it easier to score. That’s why I don’t love the NBA like I do the NFL. Players are at a large amount in the NFL. Therefore the money flow is not as much as in the NBA. Money in the NBA is a large amount because there are fewer players. So since there are fewer players in the NBA it is harder to earn a position on a team in the NBA. The chance that you will get in the NFL is wider because there are more spots on a football team. The NFL and the NBA are two extravagant sports. They are both interesting and enjoyable to play and watch. They both have many options to compare and contrast. Features of the two sports are both alike and different. From the money and players to how the game is played shows how they are alike and not alike. They have many

    TV is the NFL’s biggest source of revenue. 80% of the NFL’s earnings come from TV revenue according to Forbes. The NFL operates in a unique manner regarding its TV generated revenue. The television rights to broadcast NFL games are the most lucrative and expensive rights of any American sport. NFL broadcasts have become among the most-watched programs on American television, and the financial futures of entire networks have depended on owning NFL broadcasting rights.

    We are going to talk about the differences about the National Basketball Association and the Woman National Basketball Association. Because right now the popularity on the WNBA is known than the NBA, mainly because of the excitement of the NBA brings to the fans is a lot more entertaining than the WNBA, obviously because in the NBA have more money to pay their players and to have nice venue. An interview on ESPN said that an NBA game draws over double the attendance of a WNBA game, which means that there will be more ticket sales as well as merchandise sales and endorsements. This means that owners of WNBA teams are making much less money than owners of NBA owners, and thus have less to spend on players. Also, WNBA players only play 34 games in the regular season, compared to 82 games in the NBA season. Because they are not playing as much as NBA players, and they’re games are in much less demand, they should not be paid as much.…

    The facts are always more than what we thought. According to " What We Really Miss about the 1950s" by Stephanie Coontz, she strongly stated that the 1950s is not quite good enough for people want to go back even though more people picked the 1950s as best decade beside other decades. People feel the 1950s is good because the finance and communications between families were best, then it was best decade for children to grow up. However, they didn't fully realize there was something else that people were not concern about which were racism and sexism against women and African Americans. Women were not happy in this role. I believe the 1950s is the best decade that people should go back to because economy was excellent, children grow up healthy and today's discrimination is worse than 1950s…

    At first glance, basketball may seem like an easy concept to comprehend. It’s pretty basic; two teams compete against each other to shoot a ball in a goal more than one another, scoring more points, thus winning the game. Simple enough, right? Well, basketball goes a little deeper than that. It is quite a bit more than what meets the eye and can even get a little complicated at times. However, sticking to the basics is what will be done in this essay for getting in depth would consist of very much writing. It is also seemingly impossible to go too far in detail on paper as oppose to actually experiencing the game in person and truly understanding it.…
