The Dignity Our Female Athletes Deserve
We, as a society, have an issue with how we address women in athletics. In recent memory, there have been quite a few times when our female athletes have been commented on and criticized in ways that have very little to do with their actual athletic ability.

One "CFB" Shining Moment
College Football is unlike any other sport, from the pageantry of each school, to the way fans care about their favorite schools. Everyone remembers when Landon Collins committed to Alabama instead of LSU, but it’s remembered for the wrong reasons. His mom decided to make it known that she supported LSU more than her own son, no one knows why she did it though. College football even crowns it’s champion in a different way than any other sport. It uses a committee to vote it’s top 4 teams into a playoff, where those teams get to compete for the title National Champion. It is better than what the system used to be, where a computer determined who the top 2 teams in the Nation were, and those two played. If the National Champion is supposed to be the best team in the Nation that year, then they need to find a way to get more teams an opportunity to play in the championship game. I am going to present the argument for why this system needs to evolve even more than it already has, taking past teams, and even a team this season to explain why even the “little guys” should get a shot to prove they were the best that season.

History of Football
Who Invented Football- The sport we all know as football is more properly called gridiron football. Football is closely related to two English sports rugby and soccer. Gridiron football originated at universities in North America. Football originated primarily in the United States in the late 19th century. On November 6, 1869, players from Princeton and Rutgers held the first intercollegiate. While a number of Northern colleges took up the sport in the 1870’s, Harvard decided to stick with the hybrid called the “Boston Game.” In May 1874 the Harvard players decided they preferred McGill’s University rugby style.

NFL 2020, Week 13
I’ve been an avid follower of the National Football League now for three decades (since 1990!) and one of my favorite pastimes has been predicting the winners of the games. I don’t take the Vegas point spreads into account when I do this; I simply pick the winner and the final score of each game. My success rate overall has been above average, between 60 and 70 percent, generally lower in the early weeks of the season but higher as November/December roll around and the playoffs loom on the horizon.
