Transgender athletes

1) I believe they should handle Fallon Fox in a positive way and let her do her thing. I don't particularly think she should even be allowed to fight as a woman. 

2) Scientifically males that convert to females have the upper hand in many sports just because males are physically bigger and stronger. 

3) If I were in the position of her opponents I'd be scared for my life. She's a pretty beefy "woman". 

4) This should be handled by banning transgender athletes from going from a male sport to a female sport. 

Prefontaine questions

1) Prefontaine was a renown runner that was portrayed as a great person, who won many races.

2) He appears as a very well spoken person. 

3) Pre takes a lot of his teammates for granite and focuses on himself more or less.

4) He teaches the 9 year old boy morals and to always work hard.

5) The controversy between college athletes being driven to the bone for little to no money or benefits.

6) One of his goals was to be the best runner he could be.

7) The living conditions are awful and these conditions remind us of how bad the Olympics were.

8) The hostage situation in Munich and the basketball game between the U.S was a huge controversial person.

Lancers Come Up Short

The Norton Lancers baseball team played Medfield this past Wednesday. The boys played well, but ended up losing in thirteen innings. At the early stages of the game, Medfield had 7 errors before the fourth inning. The score was 8-1 in the fifth, runs generating from Andrew Veglas' two run homerun and other key at bats and hits by Brad Wry, Shinnosuki Furukawa, Mike Travers, and Ryan McKenney. Medfield was not completely giving up though. In the sixth and seventh they scored 9 runs making the score 10-8. The Lancers then scored 2 runs to solidify a tie, and ultimately extra innings. For six straight innings it was a scoreless, tight game. It was a pitching battle with Norton's Jon  Levy, and Medfield's ace. This game went until the thirteenth inning, when Medfield hit two singles and a double to win 11-10. It was a competitive, fun game to watch, and the Lancers are back at it this week with Ashland, Millis, and Seekonk.

What is a sport

A sport is defined by what is exerted in the activity itself. There is a huge difference between a hobby and a sport. A sport is a game or activity that requires physical exertion. Also, a sport has to contain a competition or a goal achieved during the game. Points/goals/any means of calculation of a score has to be included in a sport as well. Otherwise, there wouldn't be much of a competition.
 A hobby is something that is done solely for fun. It does not have a lot of competitive nature, and does not require a lot of physical exertion. An example of a hobby is croquet, or fishing. They both don't contain a whole lot of movement or physical activity.
A good example of a sport is football. A team plays around an hour game while exerting great amounts of force. A team ends up winning, and it is a large competition. Therefore, a sport is an activity that involves competition, and requires physical exertion.
