Artifact Study of an Olympiakos Soccer Jersey Introduction The artifact of appearance I have chosen is a soccer jersey representing Olympiakos, a team in the top Greek league. I acquired this article of clothing during the summer of 1995. Many factors have contributed to my interest in Greek soccer jerseys. These include my Greek heritage, my family's fanaticism with soccer, and the growing popularity of sports jerseys in the, for severe lack of a better term, alternative subculture. In
There was a big debate after World War II if television was a friend or foe to sport. If television was a friend to sports, then franchises needed to find a way to expand into new revenue opportunities without destroying old opportunities. Many sports feared the idea of the games being advertised on television because it would bring numbers down at the gate. Many sports took a more conservative approach with the idea of television. However, there were new players like the NFL that took a more aggressive
The Super Bowl is one of the most popular sporting events in America, and every year it brings a great amount of hype to viewers and fans. There have been 48 Super Bowls since the year 1967, and there are three people who have been present at each one. The three men are in their mid 70’s and very dedicated to the game of football. Every year, the NFL sets aside tickets in order for them to watch the game together (Buiso). The annual attending fellows are passionate about the game of football
The impact of the Super bowl has been a phenomenon. In fact, since January 1967 “it has become part of the American culture, which illustrates that it has become the single-most important event in the sporting world currently” (Johnson, Savidge, pp. 83). The Super bowl had quite humble origins, which is why it is shocking to understand as to why this game became vastly popular and remains that way. In fact, one would notice that it is a county fair, a weeklong convention along with an unofficial
was not the first professional football league. The American Professional Football Association was founded in 1920, it included ten teams from four different states. The APFA started out as the American Professional Football Conference. It originally consisted of only Ohio League teams. A month later, the league renamed itself to the American Professional Football Association and added the Buffalo All-Stars and the Rochester Jeffersons from the New York league, and the Detroit Heralds, Hammond Pros
shaped by wars. The side who win the battle shape the sole future of their opponent. This can also be related with the quote of Winston Churchill “History is written by the victors”. While indicating the League of Nations I claimed that absence of United States of America created emptiness over authority. This does not mean that United States creates the sole authority by itself still, without United States there isn’t a neutral country with a powerful military force left in League. The League cannot
successful the Delian League was. Introduction: Founded in 478 B.C, the Delian League was formed by the union of Athens and Ionian cities for mutual protection against the Persian with Athens being the head because of her naval primacy. This free confederation was consisted of representatives, an admiral, and treasurers appointed by Athens (Gill, 2006). The Delian League derived its name from Delos-a city-state where the treasurer was resided. Although one may argue that the Delian League was unsuccessful
Philadelphia Eagles started back in 1933, a new team that wanted to show the rest of the league that they want to win even if they must do anything to win. Even though the Eagles were just brought into the league at that time they brought an impact even if half the team was gone because of the draft for the war back in 1934. That didn't stop the Eagles because at that time finding players were hard because of the War, so the Eagles and the Pittsburgh Steelers formed as one team for the season and was

National Football League is still going strong today. Strategies and formations of the game are important to study. Football is an aggressive sport and is one of the most played sports in the United States. How football began, the first American football game was played on November 6, 1869. The Rutgers vs. Princeton played the first game (Bennett). Walter Camp introduced the line of scrimmage and down and distance (Bennett). The first professional “league” was the Ohio League (Bennett).

superhero will always have to be Batman. I thought to myself in no possible way can batman be considered a superhero. When compared to real heroes such as Superman or Wonder Woman, Batman just doesn’t hold up. A real superhero has to have some type of super human ability, face villains with the strength of gods, and always work for the good of the people, not above the law. I have found that it makes much more sense to include Batman in the category of vigilante, as he tends to compare much better to
establishment of Delian League, Athens had immediately attain its status as super-power and the richest city-state in ancient Greek. As the head of the league, Athens had able to rake an enormous wealth more than they can imagine. It was the height of its power.

However, who really benefited from it most? Delian League had instituted

World War I, with numerous players sent off to war and the likelihood of going for global fixtures seriously constrained, the association's survival was in uncertainty then. After the war, Woolfall passed away and then Dutchman Carl Hirschmann became incharge of the organization. It was spared from annihilation, yet at the expense of the withdrawal of the Home Nations (of the United Kingdom), who refered to an unwillingness to take part in international tournaments with their latest World War foes
Football League (NFL) has been a staple on Sunday’s in America homes for quiet sometime. It provides excitement and generates billion’s of dollars, but what I told you that this league may lose viewers or even not exist in a few years. The NFL is a great brand, but what is potentially going up against may have you scratching your head as a parent to let your child even take a snap early in his football career if not taken care of.

thousands of years beginning as early as 3500 BC. The most significant and influential time period that has impacted international relations the most is the Cold war, which was more of a conflict between the United States of America with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and the Soviet Union and its allies of the Warsaw Pact than a war. It was given the name “cold” simply because there was no direct fighting between the two sides. Many people thought that America and the Soviet Union were allies
