What are some pressing issues in sports?

THREE ISSUES W/ BASEBALL:\n(1) Steroids: Major issue obviously. Who takes them, who doesnt? Are there steroids that cant be detected yet? Should we have a stricter drug policy? Tons of question revolves around drugs in baseball. It will take a long time before they are answered.\n(2) Disparity: Major issue. Baseball tries to promote fair play. Yet all you have to do is look at a teams pay roll. You have the Yankees at about 200 million, and the Marlins at 15 million. Sure, the owners should take some blame. But having that large of a gap is just plain ridiculous to say the least. It is the leagues job to find better markets for teams.\n(3) Bats: Relatively minor. Tons of bats are breaking. Although you can say its because pitchers are making good pitches, the number of bats that are breaking are ridiculous. As a result, player safety comes into question. Should there be regulations on bats?

Individual's Rights, Morality Issues, The Tradition of Marriage (is it between 2 people who love each other, or strictly between a man and a woman?)\n\nI'm not really sure what kind of topic you're looking for, but I hope this helps.

I would say Football. Baseball lost so many fans with their strike a few years back, it will never have the same popularity it once did. Basketball season is too long, and there's been far too many antics off court by players to make it a serious game any more. Football has by far the most fans, as proven with Superbowl Sunday... it has the highest cost for commercials, and more drunk driving tickets are given on that day than any other.

Some possible thoughts for speech topics:\n1. The value of passing high school or college jocks so they can participate in games - but can't read or write.\n2.  The declining morals and ethics of professional players as compensation has risen and accountability has dropped.\n3.  At a school strapped for cash is it more important to fund sports teams or teach the students?\n4. Where have all the sports heroes gone? Is there such a thing with being pumped up on steroids and ego?\n5. Is learning teamwork more or less important than winning the game?

Hit hard and hit often.... unless you're trying out for setter.  And keep your mouth shut.  Coaches don't want to have to deal with problematic players.

Bryant Gumbel from Real Sports on HBO said that. He said many career damaging things. Like the winter olympics being like a white convention.

Any outdoor sport, baseball/softball, basket ball, skating, running track. The important thing is to get outside and DO something.

Talent is a big part of it.  However, its not the only part and maybe not even the most important.  I would say DESIRE is a big one.  Intelligence is, too, or at least understanding the sport and its inner workings.

Human Nature and freedom of speech.\n\nI don't like Baseball or Football (American version) or Basketball and will say so. \n\nI love the real Footbal (aka soccer), the beautiful game and just shrug if somebody doesn't agree.
