Ring Lardner: Life, Experiences and Short Stories
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing the life and short stories of Ring Lardner. Ring Lardner (1885-1933) was a columnist and humorist who was well known for his “busher” stories which told of his years as a sports and baseball writer from 1905-1913. Even after he stopped touring with the teams, all based in the Michigan and Chicago areas, Lardner continued to write about the intimate details and distinct colloquial language used by the players in the professional leagues. Several themes within the stories reflect his own life including his love of music, baseball, Michigan and humor.

Seniority System And Professional Football
[ send me this paper ]
4 pages in length. Professional football is not unlike any other large corporation where seniority garners more benefits - both expressed and implied - with each passing year. Such enticements as perks are part and parcel to the big-money component of football; inasmuch as a player is only as good as his talent, its serves as good business sense to use whatever means by which to keep him on the team so the organization continues flowing with money. Players quickly become tangible assets courted by other teams, which makes their value grow even greater with every year they remain in the league, an average which reflects about eight years. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Should Public Money be Used to Subsidize Professional Sports and
Sporting Venues?
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page report discusses the fact that
both individuals and city governments who are eager to have a
professional sports franchise located in their city list numerous
reasons why public dollars should be spent to entice a team to
come to town or stay in town -- increased employment
opportunities, greater revenue for the city, quality of life
considerations for locals, and, of course, civic pride. But the
question is whether or not tax dollars should be used to entice
teams to locate in a city, build the arena necessary to house the
team, or upgrade an arena or park because the team threatens to
move elsewhere unless the city does so. In a sense, once the city
gets its franchise it is held hostage by it. This paper looks at
several sides of the issue. Bibliography lists 13 sources.
