The Best Presentation.

In my opinion, Katie Hogan's presentation was the best because she used many techniques in order to persuade her points to the audience. Her points were clear cut and made sense. She supported each topic with a fact or some unique statistic. Then after she finished her PowerPoint, she showed us the movie she put together. The movie related to when we watched those commercial clips in class. She used the sad music to try to get to our emotions, Michael even said it did to him! She even put in numerous statistics, relating to the clip you showed us about all those dead body bags. This is why i think Katie's presentation was the best because it was well planned and used many persuasive techniques to make us believe her topic.

Although soccer is such a magnificent game in the U.S. and even more in other countries, there are many pro's and con's about the effects that it has in the U.S. Although a soccer is still a very popular sport in the U.S. it seams that the people who play professionally really don't make much money compared to people if they played football or some other sport. Maybe its just that we have made such an addiction around other sports that the most popular sport in the world has just been put aside. One of the pro's that soccer has brought to the U.S. is that it's truly a cheep way for entertainment unlike football tickets. It also is another way for people to get involved as like any other sport. These are just a few of the pro's and con's that soccer has to bring to the U.S.

During class while independent reading, I have been studying, what the lives of soccer players are like and how they compare to other professional sports in the U.S. I have really been focusing on one player who everyone thinks is the best. David Beckham. He plays on the Los Angeles Galaxy at the moment and there are some movies based on him, "Bend it like Beckham". Soccer compared to other sports is really low profile, their pays are lower, less people watch, and its much harder then you think to even play it. I feel like Beckham has a really good life though because he has previously played on some very big clubs in England. For example: Manchester United is a HUGE club and he played on it. In just about every other country soccer, there known as futbol, is the national sport. He must have gotten payed really good. This is just about all i have been studying during independent reading.
