The NFL: An Example Of Satire
In all examples of satire the NFL is credited to the allegations of their players and crimes and what they do to combat it. In the first article it talks about all the wonderful thing the NFL is doing and how I show to the world like an open book, but then calls everyone very brash names. This shows that the writer believes the complete opposite, that they are very lucrative. I believe this article is mediocre at best for satire. This article show the flaws of the NFL and sandals, but it doesn’t do anything for the reader, it didn’t make me feel any different. The next example is the info-graphic. The info-graphic shows a couple watching TV. The girlfriend ask if they can watch Dr. Phil, but the boyfriends just shrugs it off and continues to

    In today’s world of sports, teams are utilizing illegal methods to win and have an advantage over competitive teams. In the NFL one of the biggest teams in America are the New England patriots. They have utilized their creative illegal strategies to beat competition. The team has been known to be one of the top superior teams in the league, however, they have also been known to utilize illegal tactics and strategies to win. A few years ago the New England patriots were under fire for allegedly spying on other team’s plays and coaches hand gestures. They were caught spying on the New Jersey jets plays using cameras and hidden microphones to learn their offense and defense of plays. The scandal reached the public community…

    The new rules in the National Football League are changing the way the game is being played and the way it affects the players. One of the many ways it affects the players is benefiting their health, and that’s why most of the new rules are added into the NFL. There is an average of 128 concussions per year and about nine concussions per week. There are positive ends and negative ends of the whole situation that can make the game boring for the players and also the spectators. This also makes the game safer for the players in their long-term life from their kids to their own health. The NFL could be changing for the better, or for the worse of it.…

    As a diehard Patriots fan, this article was a tough read for me, as it is basically attacking the integrity of the organization. The author’s primary intentions are to prove that the Patriots have a tendency of cheating and show that Commissioner Roger Goodell has been inconsistent with his discipline towards the Patriots. The article starts off with an overview of spygate to set the precedent for deflategate: that cheating would not be tolerated.…

    The day had finally come. No it wasn't Christmas or the New Year, Kwanza or even Easter. It was the the most glorious day of all days, the Superbowl. Now for anyone who has never heard of the Superbowl and lives in America, that person has either lived in a cave for their whole life or…well that I think would be safe to say that's probably the only case because everyone knows what the Superbowl is. Anyway, this Superbowl Sunday started off just a little bit different than most Superbowl's I've had off from work and for any of this day to make any sense for anyone that wasn't there, I'm going to have to start by including some background information on the previous events that led up to this day.…

    Without them there would be no National Football League. But along with all the fans comes plenty of opposition to it. Though it is the NFLs responsibility to properly punish athletes who break the law, many believe that they do not do a sufficient job doing so. For example; Ray Rice was initially suspended for two games when it was reported that he had punched his wife in the face, though it was eventually changed to an indefinite suspension when a video of the altercation was released, Tom Brady got an initial suspension of 4 games for possibly deflating some footballs. Brady received double the amount of games suspended for a case that had an end result of “more probable than not” than a man who it was known for sure had beaten his wife. That is just one of many cases of the NFL and its string of incompetent commissioners not punishing its athletes fairly. Due to this notion of unfair punishment it is often said the only way for this crime problem to stop is through the fans. There are many that call to boycott the NFL, asking questions like: “Are you a decent person?” or “Do you regard yourself as having a moral compass?”. They do this in order to make fans feel guilty for enjoying watching these criminal athletes play even though they presumably know what the person they are rooting for did. These calls for boycott do not seem to have a very significant effect on the league due to its popularity continuing to increase every year. So why don’t more fans take action? Why do they continue to condone the domestic violence? The robbery? And in some cases, the murder? NFL fans are no strangers to scandal, it seems to rip through at least a few franchises every year and it seems that by now they are numb to it and see no need to take action. Crime is a continuously debated topic in the sports world, if one was to google “should professional athletes who break the law be banned from their sport” you will find hundreds of…

    There are a few discrepancies which include that men account for 49% of the general population, however the account for 58% of the NFL fans versus women who account for 51% of the general population but only account for $35-50K, in which they account for 19% of the fan base for the NFL. The report also states that there are more NFL fans that are married than non-married. The age group with the highest attendance whether on television or at the actual games is 35-44 years old. The Scarborough Report has a tremendous amount of statistics regarding NFL fans. The list goes from what they like to eat or drink to how many kids live in the household.
