The MLL stands for Major League Lacrosse. It’s what follows after college, same as the NFL, MLB, NBA, etc. The difference between the MLL and those big professional sports is that MLL players average salary is between $10,000 and $30,000 (Forbes). The other salaries all are over one million dollars for the average (Forbes/Wikipeida). People of course will be more familiar with basketball, baseball, or football. Lacrosse though, should be praised as much as those sports. That’s because MLL players don’t practice as much as the other sports but still compete at a very high skill level, the players have a burning passion for the sport, and the players have to be able to create chemistry with their players in one practice.
To start things off, the other pro sports practice almost every day until their next game. With MLL it’s different. They have usually only 1 practice a week (Laxallstars.com). So they have to come up with some game plan in 1 practice that

should be discussed in a full week of practice. If the game plan doesn’t work, the rest of the game is basically improv. That shows how skilled anyone would have to be, playing at the professional level. Because basically half of the game is all improv whether it’s cutting to the goal or dodging at random times to score. In other professional sports they aren’t like that at all. They go over the game plan and practice until their game. If the plan doesn’t work, they’re basically screwed. MLL, to me, is a very different from those other pro sports.
In like football, you’ll have those players that only do it for the money. The MLL is different because these players are giving up their summer weekends just to play lacrosse making $10,000-$30,000. Some people would be like, “That’s crazy and that’s a waste of time.” And that’s why lacrosse is so special. It’s the love of the sport these men have that thrives them to keep playing no matter how much they’re getting. For that, they should be paid as much as those other professionals.
To build team chemistry, it’s something you need time to do. The NFL, NBA, MLB, etc have so many practices to build it up. The MLL though, they maybe have one or two practices to get that chemistry then they’re thrown in a game. And it isn’t like they’re bad, they have the skill to build the chemistry that quickly. That’s an impressive skill that those other professionals don’t have. But for the MLL that is easily overlooked. Because of that they should be paid a lot
more. With all of this, and a lot more reasons, MLL players are way underappreciated. Lacrosse is an intense sport that is growing nationwide. With that, MLL players should start being paid more. Also, lacrosse is seen as a harder sport by a majority of people, than baseball or basketball or even football. I don’t have an opinion but with people saying this, it just goes to show how loved the sport is. And the main reasons that were touched on in the previous paragraphs were MLL players don’t practice as much as the other sports but still compete at a very high skill level, the players have a burning passion for the sport, and the players have to be able to create chemistry with their players in one practice.
“Concussion rates for children under the age of 19 who play football have doubled in the last decade, even though the overall sports participation has declined” (Youth Football Concussion Statistics). Football is extremely popular in American culture. Children all across the world love watching and playing the sport. However, many studies have shown numerous possible long term effects of starting the beloved sport when young. Undeveloped brains have a harder time recovering from bumps and blows that occur during playing time. After examining the long term effects of children playing football, it is clear that the tradition of tackle football in youth should be held off until the brain is more fully developed,
“Maybe I´m stupid or whatever, but to me if I got a concussion, if I could see straight and carry a football, then I´m not telling anybody”, Ricky Williams, NFL Football player. The argument about whether kids should play football or not is an important topic to argue. People need to understand that the concussions and other injuries are more serious with young kids. The problem is that many people think that it could be stopped by not allowing kids to play at all. Although parents can reduce risk of injury by not allowing their kids to play football, parents should let their children play football because it lets kids follow their dreams, it helps kids become more mature and independant, and if kids use proper technique they can reduce injuries.
Football is not a dangerous sport for high schoolers to be playing. It is played to show others what great team work is all about. Football will always have hard hitting and injuries involved. But it is a great way to get into a good college. Great warm-up exercises before a game are great way to be ready for the game.
The one thing every single minor league baseball player has in common is their salary. Everyone is out there doing everything they can to make their dreams come a reality, but it is tougher when they compensated poorly. Minor league baseball players receive only 20 dollars a day for meal money. Why do grown men, professional baseball players get paid so little? Major League Baseball is a business like any other, but players in the minor leagues are technically not exempt employees under the Fair Labor Standards Act. An exempt employee is someone who will be reimbursed minimum wage for their duties. Young and upcoming players should be payed for who they are as a player and person, not the cheapest salary possible. Minor league baseball players
High school football is very risky! There are so many ups and downs about this sport in particular. Many people would say it is dangerous for these young boys to play football though others will have a different outlook on it. Football is truly not that dangerous and it can be very helpful for some boys in various ways including, scholarships, personality and a learning experience.

Soccer and lacrosse are obviously two different sports , but in a way they are both very similar to each other. Similarly, they both use a ball for their main part of the game.They use the ball to bring it down the field and a try to score on the opposing team. Another similarity is that they both have goalkeepers to help protect the ball from not going in on the team's side. They both stand in their goal box and they are able to bring it down field if they want. In addition, they use nets on the back of the goalkeepers with bars that show how big the goal is and so the ball doesn't fly out of the field when the team scores.Another example of a similarity between soccer and lacrosse is that they both involve a lot of running. For both sports midfield is the position where you have to run
You also have to be good enough to play at the next level. A college isn’t just going to let you play just cause you’ve played before. You have to be able to compete at high level and produce at high level. Even though not everyone can play US Lacrosse reported that lacrosse has been the fastest growing sport in the NCAA in the last five years, and there is hundreds more teams at the club level . Even the number of schools sponsoring lacrosse in the NCAA is rapidly growing. In 2008 there 540 programs, both men and women, and in 2013 there was 735 teams in the NCAA . That is a 73.5% growth rate in just 6 years! That is the biggest increase that the sport has seen. As lacrosse continues to grow at the collegiate level there is hope that sometime in the future that it will become as big as soccer, volleyball, or even
Some schools force students to participate in organized school sports. However, I believe that schools should not make this a requirement. Some students may have medical conditions, family situations that don't allow them to participate in organized school sports, or they simply may not have the time.
It is the education they get that matters. Just because they aren’t receiving money for what they do doesn’t mean they are aren’t being paid. Millions of dollars are spent updating the areas they play and train in. The reality is athletes are working full-time jobs for an average wage. While the institutions they are attending are getting rich, they are missing out on their pay day.

Professional athletes play in front of an audience and get paid for it. Fans like seeing these athletes perform their best so much that they are willing to pay to watch. Professional athletes are performers or entertainers. They must perform well in each game or risk losing. If they don 't play well, they won 't last long. The work of professional athletes is hardworking and at times demanding. This is both physical and mental stress. They must be in the best possible shape. Athletes usually work out all year, both during the season and in the off season in order to be able to start for their team. They must be able to perform their jobs at the highest level at all times. Professional athletes also face the constant threat of injuries that could potentially end their careers. For these and other reasons, this kind of job can be quite stressful. During the season, athletes often practice more than 50 hours a week. They may have other duties related to the team as well for instance, going to meetings or watching films about the opposition. Athletes have to move to the place where their team is located. If the manager decides to trade them, they have to most likely to move again. Being a professional athletes they often have curfews and other restrictions on the things they do. They are not allowed to just leave the job at the office like workers in other jobs can. That’s why the athletes receive what they get, because of what they do when they need to
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.

Gaming has become so popular that annual conventions are held worldwide. One of them being MLG (Major League Gaming) the largest gaming convention in the world. Since it was founded in 2002 MLG has hosted millions of viewers. In June of 2013 20,000 people packed into the Anaheim Convention Center to attend the league's Spring Championships. Like all team sports the crowd cheered for their favorite team. However, rather than running a ball across a field, the teams battled head to head in online multiplayer games.
