Rhetorical Precis ''schooled' BP#7
Displayed in the Documentary called ''Schooled'' shows how the NFL treats their student athletes training to be pro. How these college athletes forced to put their sport first and then school second.All they are required to do is play the sport of football day by day. The effects are showing that they are not taking academics seriously. To see these college athletes struggle to get by in school. Also how hard they work out on the field and they are being worked like they are pro and they don't get paid. Because some students rely on the scholarship to go to college and they can't get food or pay rent to even be able to survive at school and daily life. They need to to support themselves so they can play the best they can. Their families can't provide them with they money to pay for college always. So being able to get extra money being a college athlete will help them a lot .Having to miss so many classes just to play the sport they love is not good for them in the long run. To catch up assignments they haven't worked on. The only real education they are getting is form college. People are trying to get them to be athlete and a student all at the same time.

JJ Neslon will not get what he earned
The overall message that JJ Nelson is sending to Adidas is that he just wants to get what he earned when he entered in the contest. That he followed every direction he had to. Also he signed everything that he was asked to. He placed top ten in his event with the Adidas cleats he was asked to wear. But there was one thing he didn't sign that was not giving to him. So he never received the money that he was offered to. JJ Nelson knows that he did everything to get the money and the rest of the people got the money but him. So to him and sports nation there was something not right with the situation that we as a reader don't know. Now JJ Nelson is without the money that he earned. But sports nation is . saying that he did not even sign with the company of Adidas. He doesn't care about the money all he cares about is preparing to do his best in his events to place first. The money to him was a great idea but not his main focus. That all he singed a wavier thinking he was in the running to win the prize. He had no idea that you had to sign a contract for Adidas. That he really earned all that money that they offered him. But sports nation thought differently because he never signed everything that he needed to. They missed something that he had to sign. ,But they never told him till after the race.but Nelson said he wasn't ever given a chance to sign with the brand. Sports nation didn't tell him. It was like a secret to him about what he was getting into.

deflated footballs in the NFC Championship Game to the superbowl
The deflated football issue is still being talked about because people say that we played better with deflated footballs. But my opinion is that its the grafts fault that the issue even came about. That they finally fixed it after halftime. That someone in the NFL should have brought their attention earlier during the game. To really know if we tried to play with deflated footballs or not we still won the game to make it to the super bowl. We played the well and we put up a fight during the game. Weather the footballs were deflated or not you cant predict the winner till the game is over. The patriots won that game fair and square. The clots were gone by a lot the score was 49 to 7 there would be no way they could have caught up to even come close to beating us during the game. So we played a great game our quarterback Tom Brady was well prepared to beat the clots.Our players were also well trained and went in the game to win. Well the intention to win. Which they did nicely. I don't think were was much more we needed to do to win that game with all that we did.

hoop dreams
In the film hoop dreams displays two teenage black basketball players that lived in the inner city of Chicago. The boys were Arthur and William who there dream was to became pro in the NBA. When Arthur was ready to go to high school in 8th grade his parents gad enrolled him in a all white school called Saint Josephs high school in Westchester . So Arthur started his first year at his new high school. As he started his year he was reading and learning at a fifth grade level.He was having a hard time in school. He was put on the freshman basketball team at st. Joe high school. Then once we went on to his sophomore year he had to leave his high school due to not being able to pay. So we had to go to his old high school named Marshall high school. Were we ended up failing and had to go to summer school. But the basketball team was better at Marshall high then St Joes was. That Arthur led his team to the city finals and they won. But his whole life was all about basketball. Soon ti became a job instead of a sport. That you had to win all the time. That was what Arthur was used to at St Joes. But at Marshall high they worked with him and they won as a team instead of because Arthur did not play well.But it got very bad once junior year came around for Arthur because he was trying to do well in school pass SAT test to be able to play basketball in college to get to the NBA one day.As that was his dream ever since he was little boy. That even this brother wanted that for himself to go to college but he wasn't good enough for a college. Arthur ended up going to summer school and taking the SAT's and passed Both and was able to graduate and go to college to play basketball. This brother nearly cried when he found out and was so proud like if he didn't them I made it to. Arthur in his later years kinda made it pro but had a baby and ended up not dropping out of college is sophomore year and didn't go back.
William who was a star at basketball just like Arthur was he when to St Joes as well as well. He started basketball and he was able to go all 4 years to get to have the education that Arthur did not have.But the coach was very tough on him when it came to basketball and we expected a lot out of William. That everyday he would try to be good enough for his coach but nothing was good enough for him. To see William struggle to get by was hard enough for him. Also that basketball was the only time that we could get away from his tough life at home and be a normal teenager.That William was the best player on the basketball was everyone depended on William to win every game. That if he did not play well or not win the coach would blame it on him that they lost the game instead of every team member and the coach himself. At practice he was the only one getting yelled at by the coach and not the rest of the team. Because the coach only cared about William. After college William got his score on the SAT a 1800 and he was allowed to go to Marquette college to study and play basketball and improve on the sport.That as he was choosing a school everyone and every coach was on him about going to their college. As his parents said to go to the college he wants to go to and to not worry about the money. That they will pay whatever they had to. William never ended up really going to the NBA. That he went on with his life with his girlfriend and daughter he had his junior year in high school.
