business. People are trying to take that right away by trying to add salary caps in professional sports which will limit the amount a the owner can pay the employees which is against the right of business owner to pay his employees as much as they want as long as it's not too low. Although many people believe that there should be salary caps in professional sports because players don't need to be making that much, having salary caps would be unfair to the sport, players, and the fans. Many would argue
game costs 100 dollars and the average player gets paid over two million dollars! Times have changed. Because of all of those price changes, and insignificantly the salary of players, in 1994 the National Football League introduced the first salary cap that allowed owners to spend a certain amount of money on players. The Players Union and the National Football League did this because for one, they were tired of players getting thrown from club to club just being a price and two to make things more
example: In 1996, Juwan Howard signed a contract worth over $100 million with the Miami Heat and nearly became the highest paid NBA player during the '96-'97 NBA season. However, his contract was voided by the NBA citing that the Heat exceeded its salary cap. On August 5, 1996 Howard returned to the folds of the Bullets and Miami Heat went court to challenge the NBA's ruling. The outcome of the case proved a “colossal windfall for the Bullets” (Brubaker and Asher, 2007, p. 45). In the following paper,
tax was put into effect for teams that go over the spending limit. However, the Yankees are the only team that pays the tax because they are the only team that exceeds the spending limit. The players, coaches, fans, and I have argued that a salary cap would be the best possible way to allow teams in the Major Leagues an equal opportunity getting to the World Series. For the last 30 years, the New York Yankees have been a dominant force in Major League Baseball. Other teams do not make as much money

“Major League Baseball Needs a Salary Cap” A salary cap in pro sports is the amount of money every team in a league can spend on all of the players on its roster in one year. Major League Baseball does not have a salary cap. The reason for a salary cap is to keep teams competitive and not have just two or three outstanding teams that dominate everyone.

The NBA Should Enforce a Hard Salary Cap How many of you sports fans out there are sick of paying twenty-five dollars for a lousy seat at an NBA game? How many of you are sick of seeing the same teams in the finals every year? I'm sure there are thousands of you out there that feel this way, as do I. The way we can fix these problems is to demand that the NBA enforce a hard salary cap. A hard salary cap would lower ticket prices, allow for more teams to be more competitive and eliminate the

Ted Kooser’s poem “Student” underlines how the life of a student truly is. As we were discussing our insights of the poem “Student” by Ted Kooser, Omar Mejia mentioned how he found a comparison with a turtle in the poem. I have imagined a baby turtle and their journey when is born and running trying to reach the sea. Imagine the life of a turtle that their life starts in the sand and after its journey to their future begins. Somehow I agree with this idea. As I imagined the complicate and hard life
Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment explores the themes of guilt and the consequences of committing immoral actions. Of all the deep, thought-provoking concepts put forth in Crime and punishment, the idea that guilt can be an adequate punishment more valid than any punishment executed by society as a whole is the most far reaching and supported by the novel. Crime and Punishment follows Rodian Raskolnikov’s life from just a few days before he commits two brutal murders to when he confesses his crimes
sisters arguing. I look out through the icy window, and see a blanket of darkness slowly fade away into the morning, then my hot breath clouds the window into a white fog. As I wrap my hands around the cold water bottle, and twist the cap I feel it breaking off, and hear the cap rip off.

The four major professional sports are the National Football League or NFL, Major League Baseball or MLB, the National Basketball Association or NBA, and the National Hockey League or NHL (Cushman 1).
