For my argument paper, I am interested in writing about violence in sports. Sports violence has been around for as long as sports have been going on and it is always a problem. I plan on discussing the murder of a soccer player after he cost his national team a chance to play in the World Cup, the Michael Vick controversy, and the New Orleans Saints' bounties from recently. I plan on discussing whether I feel like Vick should've been allowed back into the NFL after what he had done, and whether being paid to hurt players is right or wrong. All of these have an influence on the people that watch sports, and can also affect how they feel about particular things.
Here are my sources:
The Andres Escobar Murder
Sports violence is within us all
Prosecute Excess Violence in Sports
Is Violence in Sports Inevitable?
Michael Vick sentenced to 23 months in jail
I haven't looked into backup topic sources but if I didn't do the topic of violence, I would be interested in talking about the debate between who the better football player is, Tom Brady or Peyton Manning. Another topic would be which sport has the best playoff format.
