ReplyDeleteChipper Jones has had an amazing nineteen year career with the Atlanta Braves. He will be entered into the hall of fame within the next few seasons. He retired after the 2012 season. He made his Major League debut in 1995 with the Braves. In his rookie season the Atlanta Braves beat the Cleveland Indians to win the world series. The Braves lead by Chipper won ten straight division titles. In my opinion Chipper Jones is the best baseball player in the history of the sport.

ReplyDeleteThere talking about football could be really dangerous with all the head injuries that are happening. A college football player came to a mass laboratory and had to look at the brains of dead football players. Doctor have been studying these head injuries to make football safer. High school football players alone suffer 43,000 to 67,000 concussions per year, though the true incidence is likely much higher, as more than 50% of concussed athletes are suspected of failing to report their symptoms.

ReplyDeleteI this article it talks about bullying. Also about how bullying is mainly in High school and that it needs to stop. It also talks about how the kids should become better people then they are while they are young. This is important to me because I don't like bullies because I think they are punks. They shouldn't have to pick on others because they are bigger or cooler. I think bullies are lame for that.
