Sports Persuasive Speech
Good morning class and Mr. Allen, now I'm sure a lot of you enjoy your sport. but you ever consider taking drugs to do better in said sport? or even spill out onto the streets and fight an opposing team after an unfavourable result? while I'd like to think your answers to both of those questions are "no" a lot of sporting fans and players alike would answer "yes", be that in Australia or the rest of the world. this is the topic of my speech today.

We shouldn't have such a drive for victory or such a competitive attitude, not only in Australian culture but all around the world. There is a weapon made of Newspaper. Tape and a piece of brick, it's called the Millwall brick and it was used extensively in conflicts between Millwall F.C and other clubs after games.

This speaks volumes for how insane this spirit can get and how it needs to be put to an end. Not necessarily in the entire world but definitely in Australia. it's an unpopular opinion, it would be a slow process and I'm sure many would not welcome the changes with open arms. but it is a problem and problems need to be solved. Thanks for
