World Cup Problems For USA

Team USA is months away to start their first game in the World Cup against the very hard opponent England. USA is the underdog in this game but are considered to survive their group and move on. Although there maybe a problem that may cause some players to not be 100 percent ready to play. Major League Soccer has said that there may be a possible lockout in the upcoming season. Many players in MLS play for the national team and they need the league to prepare themselves for the World Cup

According to the players union they have not yet reach an agreement with MLS about certain problems. The union wants certain financial problem fix within the players salary. Some are not being paid enough to make soccer a career. Also the MLS does not have a free agent market that makes many soccer players angry that this is not option. All this could lead to a lockout and many World Cup players who play for USA are in danger for not being fit and ready to play at their highest level. Hopefully everything will settle out fine that it will lead Team USA to make an astounding win against England in the World Cup.

The Freak

A battle in Major League Baseball has risen and the battle is about money. The San Francisco Giants hold a very special person in their roster and that is Tim Lincecum also known as The Freak. The young ace has two years in the league but is phenomenal because in those two season he has won two back to back Cy Young Awards which is given at the end of the year by MLB as the top pitcher. He has won a total of forty games in two seasons some other pitchers do not get that feat until there fifth season.

Apparently his fastballs and his winning ways are not enough for the Giants. He is being under paid in baseball money because he is not being paid in millions. The Freak only wants $13 million but the Giants want to give him $8 million. The Giants are being cheap they cannot recognize this future hall of famer and his ability that is amazing and never seen before in ages. Now there is a battle of how much money he should get and deserves more than what he is asking. There are some decent pitchers out there who are being paid in hundred millions who do not have the same ability as The Freak.

The Giants will lose this guy and should stop being cheap and pay the man who sells seats. Every time he is at the mound there is huge attendance and the games sells out. This has not happen since steroid user Barry Bonds used to play. Tim Lincecum at a very young age should deserve more money than deserve and maybe a little extra for those awards won. Its not his fault the Giants suck that he cannot make the playoffs were he would be amazing. There is always plan B which is the New York Yankees were money is no problem and he could be king of New York.

Rumble In Queens

In a recent news story in Queens, New York a teacher and an accomplice did something never heard of. Two young kids in the fourth grade wrestled like if they were Hulk Hogan or The Rock but the teacher made the wrestling match happen. They battled it out as if they were wrestlers and got hurt. One kid got a wounded lip and the other got a swollen bruise on his head. The teacher made sure nobody saw what they were doing and the kids did their thing.

As a result the parents of the boys found out what really happen and the two of them got fired. They are also could be convicted of child endangerment. It is unusual to hear a story about teachers doing this and a parent trust teachers to make sure they are having an education not a brawl. It is unique that this situation was found and there could be many similar cases around the country but as a parent one does not know. In this classroom WrestleMania came early then expected.

Super Ad Sunday

This Super Bowl Sunday will be played in Miami with two great teams trying to win the big one. The Indianapolis Colts will play the underdogs the New Orleans Saints in an anticipated match. Even though it is the big game the ads are even bigger. Every year the ads is what many fans like to watch because they are funny or just amazing or a new trailer for an upcoming movie. The 30 second commercials are the most expensive ones throughout the year.

The Super Bowl would not be a great game without commercials many fans like to see. This is the Super Bowl not only for the players but for these ads too because it is there big game to show and play it to earn money. Many people just watch the commercials not the game and it makes these ads even more super. Every time one thinks of the Super Bowl one also thinks about what commercial will be played. The two throughout these years are in common they are known to be together like peanut butter and jelly. The funny commercial is what the fans like to see and there should be a funny one this year people are going to talk about.

JCVD

Jean Claude Van Damme is known for his many action movies. He always beat up people and nobody could beat him. He is like the American Bruce Lee in a way that he is a fighter in all the movies he has done. His movies are amazing from Bloodsport where he survived a deadly fighting competition. But all that was just acting and now he wants to prove he could fight for real.

At the age of 49 Van Damme wants to have a real professional fight to prove that he could fight just like in his movies. He want to do it for real and wants to do a kickboxing match against an olympian. This will prove whether his skills are for real even though he has just been acting he has to pick up some skills along the way. At his age though he may have to think about it twice before something happens to him. He may be an action star but lets see if he could do it for real. It will be an interesting fight whether he gets beat up or if he puts up an upset either way is a fight worth watching.

Commercials

During our favorite shows or just watching television commercials are always there trying to sell something. Most of the commercials that appear on television are about fast food chains. Whether is introducing a new burger or showing a way to eat healthy all these fast food commercials have something in common. The actors in these commercials are always different from the people who are really working there.

In any fast food commercial the actors they show to sell their food is always white people. The people in the cash register are white and even the cooks are white but is that what one sees when they really get there. When somebody goes to buy food in these fast food chains the people working there are mostly minorities and no white people like the commercial says. There never is a commercial showing a minority in the cash register or working in the back but why wouldn’t they when they are the ones working that fast food place.

These minorities are not to be shown in commercials because the owners of the fast food chains do not want to let America see that minorities are working most of these places. The owners probably think that white people will sell their product and that is why they hire the white actors. There is never a hispanic actor even for El Pollo Loco when the fast food name is in spanish or an Asian actor for Panda Express when it is Asian food. This is always happening its just that people do not realize it but should. From now on there should be a change and minorities should be in more fast food commercials because they are the ones who really work there.

The Tonight Show

All the turmoil has finally ended with who stays on the late night show. Conan O’ Brien will receive an amount of $45 million for his leave making Jay Leno to return back. Through out the past weeks this is what everyone was talking about who does what and who stays. Finally Jay Leno is back but at the price of Conan leaving. This problem of Conan leaving should have never happen because NBC Jay Leno should have never left. Leno has been there for years and is known for being in the Tonight Show.

Conan O’ Brien is now alone and nowhere to go and NBC should have known he would not have work. Leno attracts the audience with his comedy although his new show has not been great. Jay Leno’s return has caused problems only for Conan. Jay Leno is coming back to the Tonight Show and all the online pictures of Conan that says I’m With Coco is finally over. The loser in all of this could be Conan but he is getting a lot of money and Leno is getting his show back so there are no losers.

Here Comes The Pain!

Brock Lesnar, UFC Heavyweight Champion, is back to the UFC to defend his title and make exciting bouts. The man was gone for months due to intestinal problems that needed surgery. Many doctors have advised that he may be out for one or two years and even worse was his career was over. He did not give up hope and his recovery has been considered a miracle by most people. Now the controversial fighter is back to the octagon to bust heads.

His antics in the UFC have been considered controversial because in UFC 100 he showed the finger to fans and did not show respect to the UFC’s sponsored beer. He may have gotten his antics from when he was a pro wrestler at WWE. Many fans were outraged at what he did but as a fan I found it crazy and awesome. Fans wanted him to get stripped of the title and removed from the UFC but the man puts up dominating fights that are entertaining to watch.

He is the reason the UFC put up more than 1 million pay-per-view buys. Not only is he putting up sales his fights are awesome as he dominates his opponents with his huge body and strength. Brock was gone but now he is back for blood on whoever ones a shot at him.  Get ready to see the return of a great fighter and exciting fights cause Brock Lesnar delivers them. Fans out there Here Comes The Pain!!!

Radio Show Controversy

In a spanish radio talk show there was an issue that was being discussed about crime. The issue was that if it is right for a person to receive a life sentence for robbing another person. A concerned father said it was wrong that they wanted to convict his son to a life sentence for robbing a person. The father said his son is a good person and  should received four to five years in jail but not a life sentence.

The audience later finds out that his son is a gang member with past crimes. Not only did he robbed the man he also threatened to kill the man he robbed if he told the police. The father was on the talk radio show to see if someone could help him out with his son to not receive a life sentence. Many of the audiences called to say his son deserved a life sentence for what he is doing to society and should be put away for his wrongdoings. Like they always say if you can do the time don’ do the crime.

Bad For The Sport

In the world of Mixed Martial Arts the sport has been successful in just a couple of years. Eight- nine years ago the sport was considered as human cockfighting and brutal combat action. It couldn’t even be in pay-per-view because of how ruthless it was. That all changed and now its getting its popularity and its becoming more famous than boxing. Its exciting and many great fighters make great fights.

These great fighters train all their life to be fighters of this great sport but some are people are messing up the sport. These people I am referring to are ex sports athletes like Jose Canseco, former Major League Baseball player, and Herschel Walker, former NFL player. These men were great sports athletes all though Jose Canseco did use steroids but thats not the point the point is that they think they could do MMA. They have not trained in MMA all their life and all they want is quick cash but at the cost of hurting the sport.

These men are popular but are bringing a negative image to MMA because they are putting up circus fights. Jose Canseco fought in a MMA fight which he lost but  brought an image that said anybody even former sports athletes could fight in MMA. This is not the case MMA athletes train hard for fights and for somebody like Canseco to ruin the sport for them is not fair. Then comes Herschel Walker another sports athlete bad for the sport. At the age of forty seven this man has agreed to fight in a MMA bout and all the press is showing him even ESPN.

Herschel Walker, a former Dallas Cowboy, one of the greatest running backs is trying to get his popularity back but at the point of making MMA look bad. He will put another circus fight because he is not a fighter and training for six moths in the world of MMA does not make somebody a fighter it takes years. Just because the sport is popular right now these ex sports athletes think they could come and do the sport that is not the case. Please no more circus fights and there are rumors that Shaq wants to do MMA this is even more bad news for the sport. Leave the fighting to the professionals!!!
