Recommended: Arguments on media bias

Sports radio and podcasts make up a huge part of my day. When I’m in my car I’m listening to WEEI, which is Boston sports radio, on my walks to class I listen to ESPN radio. Sports Radio is one of the main ways that I stay up today in the sports world.
Friday February 26th I listened to Pardon The Interruption on ESPN Radio. This is a show that I normally listen to or watch because it keeps me up to date on all sports, teams, players, and has interesting personalities.
The target audience for this show is primarily 18-50 year old, male sport fans. It also mixes in a little bit of pop culture, which can attract the causal sport fan as well as the die-hard sport fan.
I don’t really find there to be a bias on this show. They cover the hot

  • Media Coverage Of The Nfl Essay

    816 Words  | 2 Pages

    Do you think media coverage of the National Football League is fair? The media has been interfering with players personal life and it is not ok. Such as the incident with Johnny Manziel, Jerry Rice, and Adrian Peterson. Johnny Manziel committed domestic violence against his girl friend, Jerry Rice punched his girlfriend, and Adrian Peterson committed child abuse. In addition to those crimes there have been many more. These issues have all dealt with law breaking, and media tells the public. This is interfering with player careers, it’s putting pressure on the NFL, and also affecting many youth football leagues. The media coverage of the NFL’s problems is not fair because the NFL has bigger problems to worry about, players are leaving teams, and parents are not letting there kids play football.

  • Argumentative Essay: The First NFL Team

    1319 Words  | 3 Pages

    NFL teams are practicing lightly so far this year, training camp is multiple weeks away, and the first preseason game isn't going to be played for months. The new defense has not been completely installed yet and neither has the new offense. We do not know whether the special teams unit will be as effective as it has been the past several seasons because Chip Kelly's practice schedule is no longer in place to provide extra reps and the overall depth chart isn't even being considered at this point because players are currently sporting shorts and t-shirts on the field.

  • Argumentative Essay On The Redskins

    1054 Words  | 3 Pages

    Mascots are beloved figure heads for sports teams everywhere almost every sport team has a mascot of some kind; that said, sometimes instead of bring people together it can cause a rift between two cultures. Such as Washington’s D.C.’s football team the “Redskins” often the word redskin was a derogatory word used against the Native Americans and while it may seem as though paying homage to the Native American community the overall stereotyped actions of the fans themselves as well as the sugarcoating of the previously racial slur has done little to bring the two cultures together and instead created a larger disconnect between white and Native American. The name Redskin should be retired and replaced so that rather

  • Inside the Trenches: The Life of a Lineman

    953 Words  | 2 Pages

    In my 8 or so years of playing football I’ve often heard coaches liken the job of the linemen to that of a soldier fighting in a trench, pushing, attacking, and struggling for every inch of the battlefield that is the line of scrimmage. Of course, the job of a lineman is far less dramatic and glorious than that description makes it out to be, most of our job is just keeping the defense at bay so the quarterback and the rest of the backfield has time to get a play off. Unfortunately for us offensive linemen, the defense has a much larger bag of tricks when it comes to the actual clash, they can grab, pull, or simply spin by while the O-line is relegated mostly to pushing with shoulder and hand. This can make things difficult if, for instance

  • Argumentative Essay On Steroids

    623 Words  | 2 Pages

    “Steroids are any type of a large group of fat-soluble organic compounds, as the sterols, bile acids, and sex hormones most of which have specific physiological action” (Dictionary.com). When our bodies are still developing, the effects of steroids can be dangerous and can also be permanent (“Above”). Steroids are made out of substances such as nandrolone, stanozolol, testosterone, fluoxymestrone, and oxandrolone. Sometimes people say when you can’t pronounce something, you probably shouldn’t use it. In the 1940’s testosterone began to be widely used in competitive sports, but the dangers of loading up on testosterone were not yet clear (“History”). Instead of using steroids for a bad reason, there is a medicinal purpose. Cortisteroids can treat arthritis, asthma, lupus and multiple sclerosis, eczema and rashes, and some types of cancer (“Steroids: Medline”). Also, steroids can be used to treat anemia, to improve weight loss due to severe illness, and to treat osteoporosis. Steroids can only be sold to you by a pharmacist f...

    Once again, after a successful season, Shadle Park was defeated by a Big 9 school in the first game of the regional tournament. This reoccurring event has led many to believe that the four year football program puts GSL students at a disadvantage compared to other districts. A junior high school football program would not only increase the competitiveness of the students but also have more important consequences.

  • The Fab Five Analysis

    555 Words  | 2 Pages

    While 2011 ESPN Films Presents documentary The Fab Five (initially part of Volume I of the “30 for 30” series but instead becoming the first release of their offshoot project), is not officially a “30 for 30”, its production and release functioned in much of the same way. Similar to 2009 “30 for 30” The U which aired after ESPN’s Heisman presentation (and became their most viewed documentary) and 2010’s Pony Exce$$ (which took The U’s spot) that premiered on the last day of the college football regular season, The Fab Five was presented two days before the start of March Madness and became the channel’s most watched documentary. Although Bill Simmons and Connor Schell “steadfastly assert that 30 for 30 is a historical and creative endeavor that is unmotivated by ratings or revenues”, it’s clear that The Fab Five and ESPN documentaries that preceded it were “very deliberately scheduled to capitalize on and enhance ESPN’s other programming”, and even utilized the “flow” of other channels for their own gain (as CBS and Turner Sports hold the TV rights for March Madness).

  • Argumentative Essay: Soccer: More Than Just A Game

    1137 Words  | 3 Pages

    The definition of soccer: “A game played by two teams of eleven players with a round ball that may not be touched with the hands or arms during play except by the goalkeepers. The object of the game is to score goals by kicking or heading the ball into the opponent 's ' goal.” When I think about the thing I’m most passionate about, soccer pops into my head right away. Soccer represents more than just a game to me. The sport gives me an outlet distract me from the real world, it taught me to overcome a battle that shaped my character, and my teammates bring out the best in me.

    Sport and the Media The growth of television as a significant cultural form during the 1960s put the relationship between sport and the media on the public agenda. In late 1969, the US magazine Sports Illustrated drew attention to the ways in which television was transforming sport. In effect, sport in the television age was a 'whole new game'. The growing economic and cultural significance of television for sport gradually became a pertinent issue in countries around the world.

Just thinking about the event makes me feel homesick and makes me remember about all the fun moments I spent with my family watching it. Watching the show on air provides the opportunity to experience it as a whole, ranging from the fact that we sit through commercials waiting for the game to start. I believe it’s sa...

  • Argumentative Essay On High School Sports

    770 Words  | 2 Pages

    Are high school sports beneficial or not for students? I personally believe if a student is in a high school sport they’re forced to prioritize between school and their sport, and at a young age I believe the student would decide to use his time to improve in his sport instead of school. Which in the long run would affect his academics, unless they decide to stay up late and work on their homework to keep up with both school and their sport. But, even like that in time the lack of sleep would catch up to them, and cause them to do even worse in both academics, and sports. High school sports are like the lotto in my opinion, many play but only a few get rewarded for their work. Therefore, high school sports cause more negativity than positivity.

    Overall this presentation was very short and I do not believe it to be 10 minutes worth of content. Not including the introduction slides, there is only 6 slides worth of substance with each slide only having a sentence of detail. I cannot possibly see one talk about each slide for over a minute on average to create a 10 minute presentation. Display wise: it comes across as dull. Each slide looks the same with the same backdrop and same centered image with simple black Calibri font on white background.

  • Argumentative Essay On Mass Media

    1636 Words  | 4 Pages

    Media is the main means of mass communications to society. As the “Information Age” advances, technology has influenced sources of communication and information, using social networks, newspapers, television, magazines, etc. Mass media advertising technique can be very manipulating and persuading to intrigue it’s viewers, mainly controlled by major businesses such as Walt Disney Companies, news corporations, Time Warner, CBS corporations, and Viacom ("Media Influence on Society,2009). The advertisements are used to lure people into buying items, advertise the latest trends, and how to become accepted by society. These forms of mass media captivate many people where violence is portrayed to be okay, how to be accepted by society, and how the “American dream” should be. An average American spends more time using mass media than doing any other activity while awake (Average Person Spends More Time Using Media than Anything Else, 2005). With the amount of Americans who have access to these forms of communication, many people begin to confuse fiction to reality.
