Should College Athletes Be Paid?

 

     All over America, one bg topic in sports can always raise a good agrument: should college athletes be paid? After all, they do make money for their school. Shouldn't they get a cut of the dough? Well, I think no, and I'm here to tell you why.

    Hard work. Determination. Dedication. Excellence. These qualities are what make sports great, and nowhere are these things more evident than in college sports. College athletes do not play for money, they play for the love of the game. Paying them would just ruin the marvelous establishment that the NCAA is right now. College athletes should not be paid because these students could not handle the money, college scholarships are payment, and it would ruin the integrity of the sports.

The Difference Between the Raptors and the Pistons

If you managed to find Game 1 of the Pistons-Magic series (and seriously, can anyone explain why the NBA lets Round 2 begin before Round 1 is finished?), you saw all of the things the Piston do that the Raptors don't and why the Magic were exposed in Game 1 for what they really are, pretenders.

Now, it is far too easy to talk about the many ways in which the Pistons are better than the Raptors, it's not even fair to have that conversation on the whole. What is fair to look at is the attitude that was brought to Game 1 by the Pistons. To quote Rasheed Wallace (and really, is there a better guy to quote?), "You can't rattle us," Wallace said. "We ain't no punks." Wallace stepped in right off the start and made it clear how this series is going to be played. The Raptors can talk all they want about statement games and making statements, but when it comes right down to it, they don't have anybody who can step up and make a statement like that...well, at least nobody who anybody is going to believe. When Rasheed tells you that they "ain't no punks", you had better believe him.

WOW,4th best group!
Why no NHL in the poll?
No offense, but for the poll, it's European soccer by a mile and a half...

The passion of both the players and the fans makes the league just so much better than any American sports league...

How many NFL Fans are passionate enough to start a riot?
I think it was a good choice.
Anyone shocked by Avery Johnson getting fired? I'm really not..he lost that team
