                             Soccer’ America’s Game?

          Goal! You have just heard one of the most famous quotes in sport history. It came from the sport soccer, which is one of the only professional sports played worldwide. Many arguments have rised since the feuds between sports started. It started with soccer and football, which one was the most played and most popular sport in America. In the votes came and of course, soccer won by two votes. Soccer is especially played in Europe in which they call it football, so don’t get your football game-face on because soccer or football has a special place of its own!
          I believe soccer is America’s sport, which everyone knows about and enjoys. Since soccer was invented in England, many people came to America for better wages and a better life at that time. So, when they came, they brought there professional soccer skills and introduced America to its later to be most funded sport. America’s population is over 305,000,000 and two fourths of those watch and enjoy soccer, leaving two fourths for the other twelve sports that America participates in. Soccer is the dominant sport when it comes to the most tickets sold out each game. Soccer started all of sports history and will surely end its time of playing the same way.
          Soccer is not America’s sport. I have many more friends that would rather watch and enjoy baseball or football. Soccer was made in England, Europe and baseball and football were American made sports. So, the probability of them having more fans and viewers than soccer is possible. Also, more people might watch football because more people play football rather than soccer. The reason for that is that football is easier to learn and play  and you catch but, in soccer it is harder to learn  and you can only use your legs. Football may have been invented after soccer but football is a more aggressive sport and you know us men, whatever has to do with anyone getting hurt, we are sitting their, our eyes gleaming with excitement, and enjoying every second of it.
          Soccer has concurred America with its popularity and fans. It all made sense for America to include soccer in its sports history because it is very popular. As of right now America’s population is over 300,000,000 and half of that is all soccer fans. That is around 150,000,000 soccer fans just in America! Soccer, also known as football, is the most funded and paid for sport in America which makes it special. Also, many soccer players on the American team are from foreign countries, which makes their fans and families come to America to watch, increasing the soccer fan population. Soccer is a perfectly balanced sport that uses almost everyone of your muscles and helps them get stronger. So, if you like sports that involve feet and aggressive players, join the big soccer family!

No Christmas music!

It's all about Christmas!! It hasn't been even Thanksgiving and they are playing Christmas style songs and getting everyone including me in the Christmas spirit! It's just wrong, why even celebrate Thanksgiving
when there is no songs about it and it's on the eve of Christmas. It just ruins my day when I hear Christmas music on the radio when it's a month or more away from Christmas. It all started when it was the Wednesday before Thanksgiving break and my friends and I are on the bus and the song goes on, literally at that point everyone started to scream about how wrong it is to throw Thanksgiving away and replace it with "the all important" Christmas. I believe everything and everyone thinks that Christmas is the dominant holiday because you get presents, everyones happy, all of your family comes over to have dinner, and special Christmas music is made to cheer people up and encourage them to open their wonderful presents they got from their caring parents. If you do not want to make music about the day America was discovered, then you don't have any American patriotism and I just feel ashamed!
I think Christmas music should be played before Thanksgiving because it brings up the spirit and fills the air with carolers and happiness. I think that it reminds children that Christmas is coming and if they want to get good presents they have to get good grades so they tend to work harder and show their parents that they deserve what they want and they show how much they want it. Also, the music helps parents get threw shopping for their children's presents and making the shopping more calm and less hectic from all the people running around and reading off their children's lists to Santa. The music gives me back good memories about last years Christmas when my grandma and grandpa were here with me to open my oh' so wanted presents and cheer me up while ripping the paper off and not being able to wait to see whats hiding under the paper wrapping. Christmas and Thanksgiving are even holidays and I hope one day each one will have an equal amount of respect so the holiday wars stop and everyone can enjoy their tummy-filling Thanksgiving and their merry and jolly Christmas!
