NFL vs rugby

Which is better, American football or rugby? American football is a copy of the original sport, which is the rugby. Rugby has been played for ages originally in Europe. It is thought that rugby is a sport played by animals, I mean, people who are clumsy and that sort of thing but, actually, it is said that people who play rugby are really polite and well-mannered. People might think that rugby is better than American football but in my opinion, if I had to choose I would definitely decide American football. American football is much more interesting than rugby because there are better tackles and there are more injuries because of the bravery of the game.

What do you think about rugby or American football? Which of these would you choose if you had to?

In this video we can see the best player in the world this year showing some of his abilities. He has scored 31 goals in this season in the BBVA League and he is drawing with Luis Suarez to win the gold boot. He has scored 16 goals in the Uefa Champions League and he has the best record ever. I hope he will win the 10th Champions League for Real Madrid. I think Real Madrid should win the Champions this year because of the fantastic season they have had. Do you think Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid deserve to win it? 

Luis Suarez

Everyone has heard about Luis Suarez, the best striker in the Barclays Premier League right now. It doesn't matter if you like football or not, you will hear about him in the news. This season he has demonstrated that he is one of the best strikers in the world, and that is why every football club wants him in their team. This video contains some of his beautiful goals. He is my favourite athlete.

Sporting role models

From my point of view, there cannot be success without failure. I mean, normally when you succeed you beat another person so when you win the other fails. The best example of this is sports. When you're in the final there is always a winner and a loser.

I also believe that the best way of learning is not going to school or similar, it's making mistakes. I mean, if your mother tells you not to touch the cooker because it is hot you may touch it, but when you touch it you will realise that is hot and you will burn yourself and not touch it again. Learning how to react when you win or lose is also very important because you will not always succeed because there is always a person better than you in whatever you do.

sports role models

Nowadays people, most of them teenagers, admire people who play different sports like football or tennis.
I think lots of them are good role models but the most famous ones are the worst of them.

To my mind is important to be polite and kind and seem like someone who work-hard in his job because lots of children will admire you and take you as a role model. On the other hand if you don't catch the attention is really difficult to became famous only froe your vocation you must do some crazy things.

Public sportsman should be a good role model to inspire people to be kind and polite people but there are always bad role models who are the most famous ones.

SPORTING HEROES

Everybody knows how difficult a famous person’s life is. It's clear that those difficult and sometimes exhausting lives of those people are because of the success they have 
achieved during their lives. I really think sporting heroes should try to be good role models due to the fact that lots of people know them.

On one hand, we may agree on the conflictive conduct sporting heroes might have at some specific moments, as we may have in our lives. The fact of being a well known person may make them feel stuck-up that why sometimes they don't show the correct role model. But occasionally, that may be acceptable.

On the other hand, we must say that those people must be conscious of what they are going to turn out to be for lots of people when they decide to go ahead in their sporting career. They must be clear about that above everything, they have to respect everybody and also demonstrate the right role owing to the fact that they are always in front of the public. Therefore they have to show responsible behaviour.

To sum up, once you have decided to make your life public, you have to take over every kind of responsibility, such as a good behaviour, which could sometimes be difficult to manage but  you must succeed in it too, apart from succeeding in the sporting career.

It is often said that every sport hero should behave properly, because a lot of people look up to them. In addition, they actually have a lot of money which makes them even more popular.

From my point of view, they should try behaving properly because many people admire them and how they cope with all the pressure or even how they work and strain in every match. Many people are influenced by them, which should make them be socially responsible. Therefore, if they give money to charity, as some of them do, they encourage people to do the same.

However, it is also true that they have right to live their own private life. Although a lot of people look up to them, they have the choice of living without the pressure that everyone will do what they do.

To sum up, like everybody, they are people, so they need to live their private life. Apart from this, as they know that a lot of people follow their steps, they have to do the right things.

Sporting heroes should try to be good role models

Should sporting heroes try to be good role models? I don't think so. Being honest, it's true that most people act like famous people do, in this case sporting heroes, and it's just because most people want to be like them. If they did a good thing like helping other people may be lots of people would copy them.

However, we usually don't think that they are normal people; we usually think that they are gods. But really they aren't and to a simple person it's impossible to act well the whole day, so that's why I think they shouldn't try to be a model to be followed, because in the end anybody has mistakes that shouldn't be used as role models.

Finally I would like to add that some sport heroes really try to be an example to everyone, but almost always they get money from that. Nevertheless if they hadn't earned money from that they likely wouldn't have done it.

It is often said that you can't do perfectly all things you try at first, in many kinds of sports such as ice skating, ballet or rhythmic gymnastics. In basketball for example, if you are a lucky person you can score a basket the first time you try it.

Some people think that being good at doing something is more important than being a kind person, but I think they are wrong. To be a successful person is as important to be good at it as being a good person. If a famous has bad manners either children or adults would look how they act and they would do the same things that they idol do.

On the other hand they should do whatever they want because never is going to be a person who please everyone. There are a lot of famous people who help the other by giving a bit of their money, clothes or food and this is so good. All people should act like this and not only famous people.

To my mind no one is perfect and also the kindest person of the world could make a very huge mistake. I think that if you strive sooner or later you will succeed and that after the failure comes the victory.

In today's world, the person who is a sporting hero has to cause a good impresion apart off being good at the sports they play.

People, as well as admiring the way they play, bear the clothes they wear, the friends they have, the way they speak and what they think in mind. They try to imitate everything they do and because of that if they do something inappropiate the followers will copy it so they have to be careful.

However, some sporting heroes, for example Pau Gasol, realise the benefits of working with charitly and children with problems. They are a good influence for the followers because they show that they use money to help people and not only for themselves.

To sum up, they are normal people with their good and bad things like everybody. They must act normally we are nobody to say how they have to act they know it well.

Sporting heroes should try to be good role models

In our community, people need role models to have someone who sends the ideas and manners of being a sportsman and it needs to be honest and well educated person, not a dirty and bad competitor.

In the world of sports, almost fairly enough sportsman's aren`t a good example of being role models. To be a role model you need to be honest, not to have stupid manner with the opponents. For top athletes    sometimes is very difficult because they`re envolved in lots of pressure and they can do thing which they weren´t supposed to do it in a normal situation.

I think that Iker Casillas is a brilliant role model. He is always nice with  his opponents, always tries to play good matches and is very honest. People sometimes support footballers who are good, but aren´t role models and are always quarreling. I think that those ones who play sports and they only want to earn money and be bad models for young people who watch them should leave playing.

To sum up, I think you need to do something wrong for afterward can become role model, if not, I think something is going wrong.

Sporting heroes should try to be good role models

It's known that athlets always try to do their best, but they also try to be good role models. One of the most important reasonsis that if a young child sees for example Mario Balotelli ( an Italian football player) hitting his girlfriend, like Seferovic (a player of Real Sociedad) did some weeks ago... That isn't a great influence for young children, that's why sports heroes have to try to be idols.

On the other hand everybody knows that it's almost impossible to be a good person all the time. We are humans and everyone could make a mistake. Talking about that, there are two types of mistakes: 1- There are some mistakes that are very important, for example Asier Illarramendi (a player of Real Madrid)  was at Zarautz in the carnival and he dodged a heifer, which is forbidden. He apologised and he had to pay some money because of dodging. 2- There are some mistakes that have an enormous impact, for example Seferovic hit his girlfriend two weeks ago, and he slept in  comissary, as consequence, Real Sociedad has oblied him to pay an enormous compessation to his girlfriend, and he is punished in the club and in the national team of Switzerland.

To finish, we have to understand that it's very difficult to be an angel in a way, and that everyone makes some mistakes during life.

It is often said that sports heroes, apart from doing their best in competition, have to behave as good people, kind and sportsmanlike.

It is clear that if someone is famous, it is necessary to cause a good impression. In the world of sport, this is a really important fact. This is because people, especially children, usually try to imitate the things that the sports role model does.

On the other hand, sports people find it very difficult to always have good conduct. Being a good person all the time could be very tired. Therefore, many sportsmen and women make bad actions to relax themselves, such as drinking too much alcohol or going to parties every night.

To conclude, it is true that sporting heroes should try not to do bad things but at the same time we have to understand that sometimes it is difficult to deal with fame and it is normal that, occasionally, they make inappropriate actions.

Sporting heroes should try to be good role models

Nowadays, it is often argued that lots of people have a sporting hero who they like a lot. Some of these heroes do interesting things to help people who have difficulties, problems or illness but others, in spite of having a lot of money, do not do anything.

Young people and teenagers often have a sport athlete idol that is very good in sport. In many cases, these teenagers do the same things that these kinds of athletes do. For example, they buy the same cleats, and the same shirt, and they try to copy the same things they do.

On the other hand, a good thing that some of these athletes have is that football players like Cristiano Ronaldo and Iker Casillas help people who do not have much money, or have an illness or problems. These kinds of football players are good role models because in this way, they show what kind of people they are. 

In few words, in my opinion, these kinds of people should try to do good things because there are lots of teenagers or young people who do the same things they do. 

Sporting heroes should try to be good role models

   Recently, the idea that successful athlets have to behave in a good way has been widely debated in our local community.

   Nowadays, we can see that not every sporting heroe is a good role model. In the world of sport, athlets find it very difficult to behave like everyone would want them to behave like. It is imposible to do everything perfectly but it has always been said that they should try to do it. There are examples in many areas which show that athlets are always criticised.

   On the other hand, it is clear that they should do whatever they think because they can not please everyone. However, because of this, people find them as if they were bad role models.

   To sum up, there is no doubt in my mind that sporting heroes must be theirselves, not just what others want them to be or to act like. So, although I can see both points of view, I must admit that that statement is, to my mind, not completely true.
