Civil Order for Sports Organizations

Pro Case

Public Forum

Everyone knows that there is violence in sports. The question is what is being down about it? An even more important question is who should be responsible for maintain civil order? Today’s public forum topic addresses this problem. Resolve: PROFESSIONAL SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING CIVIL ORDER.

Due to the numerous sports organizations that might be called professional for various reasons, we are defining “professional sports organizations” as the team for the corporations for athletes who are paid to participate in sports organizations such as: Colorado Avalanche Organizations, Denver Nuggets Organizations, and Colorado Rookies Organizations. We agree with today’s resolution.

In the words of Kevin Quinn from his book, “Violence is craved by the America’s entertainment industry and the same goes for Americas sports industry.” This is a one problem in society. Another problem stated by Don Allen sports directory for ABC News Channel, “The entire arena erupts with cheering when there are fights, Even if the team is losing, the fans still get excited when they see two players pummeling each other.” He further explained that, “In hockey, there are players whose specific purpose is to be the reams “enforcer” or as some call them, “goons.” Referees will even allow players to fight for a few minuets without the intervening.

The various professional teams owners should not wait for consequence fir violent actions by the athletes to come from their sports commissioner or from law enforcement. These organizations must reward positive good behavior and must penalize inappropriate behavior with zero tolerance. In addition, these organizations should look to their sports commissioner to punish violent athletes with penalties that need to be stricter.

Thousands dollar fines, and 3 games suspension are no doing enough. Professional Athletes who are fined, say “I don’t care if I get fined. I make $3 million. What’s a couple of thousand?” Some athletes don’t even care if they’re suspended for a few games. With these opinions, violence in sports may never stop.

Secondly, we just mentioned professional sports organizations most defiantly must control there employees-the athletes. “Today we have to many bad winners who don’t win with grace, but instead stand over the loser gloat.
