Nf blog post

        In a piece by ESPN's Paula Lavigne she uses a few different techniques. She wants to make the piece as objective and possible and to keep he own personal bias out of the piece. She does this by presenting a piont and then giving a good strong case for one side. She gives evidence and quotes people. Then she does the exact same thing for the other side of the argument. This is a very effective technique. She wants you to form your own opnion and think for your self. By peresenting the information this way it makes you look at the information and form your opnion.
        I think the author supports sports in schools. She try's to keep the arrival as unbias as possible but in her style of writing some of her opnion slips through. There are topics like GPA's that must be obtained by athletes. She only gives opinions for people that want to rais them but gives good strong evidence for keeping them the same. I don't think it was intentional but I think subcountiously she gives stronger evedence for the side she supports.
        I think sports are good to have in school. They teach kids valuable lessons that can not only be used in the class room but also in life. The fact that some people want to take sports out shows me that they don't truly understand sports and what it is like to play. The main argument is that it interferes with school. I play sports and I know it only effects school if you let it. If you put in the time and detication in both areas than you can come out a great athlete and a great student.
