    Barry Blitt's Drawing 'Illegal Procedure'

    A recent cover of the September issue of The Newyorker depicts an enticing image all about scandalous football. The image details a football player running from the police and winning. The picture pertains to the recent actions of domestic violence and all around poor behavior demonstrated by NFL football players. More specifically the illustration depicts the current episodes of Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson, who both performed acts of domestic violence towards loved ones. These events caused a ruckus throughout media and inspired the artist of the cover, Barry Blitt, to create a message to his audience about the NFL.…

    Analysis: Diehard Patriots Cheating

    The author writes, “It didn't matter that the Patriots went 18-1 in 2007. Or that they would average more wins a season after Spygate than before. Or that Belichick would come to be universally recognized as his generation's greatest coach. Or that many with the Patriots remain mystified at the notion that a historic penalty was somehow perceived to be lenient. The Patriots were forever branded as cheaters -- an asterisk, in the view of many fans, forever affixed to their wins.”…

    Incentive To Change Summary

    According to DesJardins, “every organization has a culture, fashioned by a shared pattern of beliefs, expectations, and meanings that influence and guide the thinking and behaviors of the members of that organization”. This is known as “corporate culture”. Recently, the National Football League has been exposed on issues with players charged with abuse related crimes. The New York Times article titled “What’s the N.F.L.’s Incentive to Change?” discusses the advantages that this corporation has amid all of the negative media. Reporter Ian McGugan goes on to say that despite all that has happened, the N.F.L’s television ratings have exceeded last year’s.…

    Southern Mehodist University Football Scandel

    To fully understand the 1987 “death penalty” and the Southern Methodist University football scandal, you have to start back in 1981. That year was the rise of the city of Dallas, Texas and the oil industry in the surrounding area. It became the melting pot for Texas alumni and many started to brag to each other about where they went and how their football team was there. Football was as important as the weather at that time in the south and the alumni’s decided that they would just “buy” players to play at their colleges to create a winning team. S.M.U. started paying players the most money to come to their college and their head coach Ron Meyer was the first to personally recruit the top players (Matula, 2010).…

    Ray Rice Criminology

    If anything defines the culture of the United States, it is American Football. This spectator sport is extremely popular and the NFL has recently been making a name for itself in terms of players of a different race, sexual orientation, and class. But there is a particular dark side that the NFL tries to sweep under the rug. NFL players are rarely punished for what they do outside the stadium, unless the incident is widely publicized or circulated. Recently, a video surfaced of Ray Rice and Janay Palmer surfaced showing the NFL star dragging his fianceé from a Revel Casino elevator.…

    NFL Uniforms

    One of the controversies is that the NFL does not take care of its players after they are done playing in the league. This was illustrated in the Will Smith movie, Concussion. Another example of this is a young linebacker who played for the 49ers who retired early after his first season because he just did not feel safe in the NFL. There have been cheaters proven in the NFL as well. We all know about the Patriots “Deflate Gate” against the Colts in the AFC divisional round. Did you know that the Patriots were also in another cheating scandal? This one is called the Spy Gate. That is why the Patriots are one of the most hated team in the NFL.…

    There is a huge issue with domestic violence in the National Football League. Domestic violence is the NFL’s number one off the field issue, as domestic violence keeps occurring in the player’s lives. Football players are abusing their kids, wives and girlfriends every day, and then proceed to go on and play in an NFL game where they are being cheered for instead of punished.
