Eighth Grade Bloggerinos
This eighth grade class is using the most modern medium and transferring our writing skills from the classroom to a public forum- the blog. They've created blogs that are based in topics that they have chosen, and are given a weekly prompt designed to view their subject in a new and unique way.

The economy is effecting sports in a big way. Now days people don't have the money to go to games so the attendance for sports is down and if that's down the team in general isn't making enough money. For example the Minnesota twins are a small market team. There for they don't have the money for a new nice stadium, or they don't have the money to resign or sign the big time players. If u cant sign the good high priced guys then you won't be the greatest team. This also effects teams like the Florida Marlins or the Tampa Bay Rays. I think the economy in theses cities and the United States has a big effect on sports.

My blogs and writings will mostly be about my four favorite sports teams. The Whitesox, Notredame, U of I, and the Bears. Today the Whitesox finish up the regular season against the Detriot tigers, if they win they go into a one game playoff against the Twins. But if they lose they are eliminated from going to the playoffs. Saturday Notredame football advanced to 3-1 on the season after beating Purdue 38 to 21. #22 Illini lost Saturday to #12 Penn State. Lastly the Chicago Bears beat the Eagles 24-20 last night, they advance to 2-2 on the season.

People view sports differently then others.
There is a big difference between oh how parents and kids view sports.
First of all I'm going to talk about how parents view sports. Parents often think of sports as a way to keep their kids active. Also they know that more than likely their child is not going to be a professional athlete. But maybe there kid is a great athlete and is thinking about going to college to play a sport, then most parents will make sure you keep your grades up so you cant get into a good school.
Lastly what kids think of sports. Children view sports as a game that every child dreams to go professional in. Most of the time when you get into High School you realize your going to have a different job then an athlete. But the few who do have a chance to go to college for sports think that school does not matter because they be a pro athlete. what kids don't understand is that school is more important so that you can get into a good school to play a sport. Also if I were in a situation where I was going to go professional in basketball, and i had a chance to go to the NBA after my second year in college i would not take it because you never know. What if you have a Basketball ending injury and you don't have a degree for a job, then you need to go back to college to get the specific job you want. That is how sports can affect learning
