More people play soccer all around the world than American football. It is soccer is easier to play not like American football where you need to know plays and you have to think. In soccer you move around all the time and dont stop, but in football you do a play and stop and do another play.

Winning Position: No they do not
People think games make people violent but do they really? in my opinion I think they don't, yeah the game may be violent but it doesn't mean it will not make the person.i played spryo as a kid do I look like a dragon? So no, games don't define how a person chooses to act, that is their choice and not because a game was violent.
Winning Position: No they do not
Winning Position: No it is not a sport
Since golf is a world renowned 'hobby' I believe it should be a sport.Like any other sport, you need physical strength, a good mental attitude and be able to have fun!
If golf isnt a sport then why can most professional athlete's (non-golfers) master the sport, such as Michael Jordan, Nicklas Lidstrom, Tony Romo and many more famous athletes. If these athletes can master the sport of golf why do people who think golf isnt a sport say "it isnt a sport because it lacks the need of good physical health", when they say this i don't believe they take in consideration how fit golfers are compared to a 350Lb football players on the field. This really goes to show that people don't look into the sport enough to see the reality of what actually goes into playing the game.
Golf has just been added to the Olympics of summer 2016, it is a sport that has been around longer than most sports we see today such as football (created in 1869), Baseball (1839), Soccer (1880). The version of golf we see today was created during 1457 in scotland, and even some traces from the Song dynasty show they played a different type of golf game during 960 -1279! This is what gets me i don't see why people say it is not a sport when history clearly shows its has been around 2.5x as long as most other commonly know sports and 7 out of 10 golfers are more athletic than most other athletes.
Winning Position: games influence violence

games don't influence violence
People tend to blame violent games for when people do violent things like school shootings, murders, stabbings,school bullying, and just bad things. Its one of the the first things they question if they played video games which a great majority of the earth does and they also question the mental state of the person. On video games there is an ESRB content rating the lowest is EC (early childhood) to the highest which is A (adults only). Its not really the game its the person who plays the game and what their mental state is someone with a normal state of mind knows that something that happens in a game isn't real and shouldn't be done but possibly someone who isn't in a "normal" state of mind may not know the difference between whats bad and whats good. Its kinda of the same with younger children they don't really know if its good or bad they just see it and play it in a game and realize that it is fun to do all these things. But it can also be the parents fault to for buying them the game in order to purchase any game rated above M (mature) you need someone above the age of 17 to purchase that game and it is clearly not appropriate if you are purchases the game for your younger sibling or children. So whos fault is it, is it the parents, is it the game, or is just the mental state of the accused person. So their are many many many factors that could be brought up in saying oh that its a violent game therefore its the games fault. Their isnt really a specific way to test this.
Winning Position: School not start at 9
School should start at 9 because many student are tired through the first 2 hours until they are awake enough to learn. Other student are able to wake up with no problem but other can not. That's why i think school should start at 9 am because student would be ready and most likely awake. Also by 9 people are usually up on there own.
