2. Paragraphs 5-7 compare and contrast football and war. Is this comparison convincing? How does the comparison appeal to logos?
Yes this comparison is convincing, it's appealing because it makes a bold comparison and really makes the reader think about how grueling football is.
4. How do the study's findings support McMurtry's argument against the brutality of football?
It supports it because it shows how the brutality of the sport can engage a strong sense of leadership, and toughness for the business world.
6. What other sports have a militaristic side?
In soccer we say flank and attack. In paintball you actually use guns and use lots of military tactics. You flank and use engaged attacks. It is the most militaristic sport.
8. Does the association enhance or tarnish their image?
Being associated with sports stars is an enhancement to an image, because for the most part sports stars are positive role models for kids.
It was well written, but you could've had more explanation. I liked how you said that most sports people are role models for kids. Overall, very good.
ReplyDeleteOn number 8, I agree that the association is seen as a positive. In mine, I said the reason was because it makes celebrities seem more relatable to average people who also follow sports.
