Boston fans racist.

No,  fans should not be considered racist based off what one person said. there's an entire city of people and one person doesn't speak for all of them. The case would be different if it was someone who actually represents the people of the city, like the governor. To take these comments and blame an entire city for being racist is absolutely ridiculous. This completely takes what the city believes in out of context.

What is a sport

      I think a sport is any physically demanding game that requires skill and is competitive. This definition keeps anything that could be competitive but not skill worthy out of the "sports" category... For example, competitive beer bottle smashing is competitive, but in reality it doesn't require any skill because anyone without any prior knowledge of how to do it can take a beer bottle and smash it "competitively"
       It needs to be competitive because any non competitive activity cannot be classified as a sport. You can do dance outside of school, or you can do competitive dance. It's not a sport until it become competitive. Without the competitive nature it is simply a hobby or game.
     In order to be a sport it has to be widely recognized as a sport as well. You cannot have it be a sport in some random part of the country and somewhere else it is not. Sports have to have wide spread recognition. In the end everyone's opinion of what a sport is, is different. But without the competitiveness it is just a hobby or activity, and without the aspect of skill it is simply a game. The thing that sets sports apart is the fact that you have to build up your competitive and skillful nature.

Red Sox 2014 season

The 2014 Red Sox were supposed to have whats believed to be a fun easy going season. 13 games in and we see that is definitely not whats going on. With a good fraction of the team feeling some types of injury the Red Sox are feeling the struggle. No one was expecting them to take the world series, but to have what seems so far as a very rough season ahead of them. With Koji having a sore shoulder and Ellsbury wearing pin stripes 2014 might very well be disastrous. The Red Sox do not have in my mind a chance this season, but if they play like they did in 2013 who really knows what could happen. What seemed like a the beginning of the golden age for the Red Sox is starting to seem like a disastrous start for this defending world champion team. Who knows though. When the Red Sox won in 2004, it took until 2007 for them to regain their momentum. Either way, the Red Sox had an amazing season last year and that's enough glory to last the people of Massachusetts a good couple of years.

Jerry Sunduskys Crazy Wife

Jerry Sandusky's wife is completely delusional. Not only is she in denial that her husband was a pedophile, she is an enabler. He would go down to say good night to the kids? What? She didn't find it weird that he was so close to these kids? The man was taking showers with them and she found it to be completely normal. Apparently its because that how people were in his time.. But strangely enough I don't remember of any time period that encouraged grown men to take showers with young boys. She needs to come to terms with what actually was going on. Either she is completely delusional or she is in it for the money. Now that her husband is in jail she's losing a $4,900 monthly pension. Media and attention could be her only means of getting money. Which is quite ironic considering she is claiming that all the boys who came out against her husband are in it for the money. Strangely enough I doubt 45/48 allegations would be found true by boys who are "faking" it.

Sports interview

          Paige Monast is a teenage student as Norton High School. When asked whether or not she enjoys watching sports she replied with "No". Many girls are not particularly interested in sports, and Paige, an avid dancer and artistic type certainly is interested in other things more so. Paige does consider lesser known, or less popular events as sports. For example, Dance, Competitive Cheer, figure skating. Being a dancer herself this was an easy question to answer. Sports stars have been considered over paid by many people. When asked if she considers them to be over paid, she said she does think they are over paid.
          Paige is not a very frequent sports watcher, so as someone who already has a lack of interest in sports she said that Football is the least exciting sport to watch. In the Monast residence Basketball is a very popular sport watched by several family members, so football isn't popular even among the sports watchers. When asked how many live sporting events Paige has been to, she stated that shes been to about 20 live sporting event all of which were Red Sox games with her dad.
          Joey Delgrasso is a Norton High student in the 11th grade. He enjoys basketball and is an over all athletic kid. Joey does enjoys sports. He quickly replied with "Yes of course" when asked if he enjoyed watching them. Joey said that he does consider uncommon events as sports, such as figure skating, cheer leading etc.. as long as they are competitive. When asked if he considers athletes over paid he said Yes, but only baseball. This makes sense because baseballs players commonly sign 100 million dollar deals.
          Joeys least favorite sport to watch is soccer. This isn't unexpected because soccer isn't a very popular sport in the united states.. and especially among american males. Joey has been to 8 live sporting events in his life. This is still more than the average person, but considering he is a sports fan it's not completely unexpected.

The Best Norton Will Ever Have

Coach Coleman and the Norton Wrestling team could not have wished for a more dominating season. With an almost perfect record, the team took the State d3 title with ease. This being their second state title, the Lancers swept the competition with the sectional title as well. Norton can’t be stopped.

The State title was in the hands of the wrestling team from the beginning of the season. There was no competition. “Norton did not  just win the MIAA d-3 state wrestling championship at Foxboro. They owned it. Dominated it. Yanked it away from everybody else, stamped their names on the banner and hung it on the Laroque Gym wall.” Being the best of 56 teams, Lynnfield was still a whopping 41 points behind the lancers. A crushing victory for the lancers considering no one even came close to them. Mike Travers became the third Norton Lancer to win a state title for himself, coming first in the 190 pound weight class. Jonathan Taylor came Third in the 145 weight class, and Myles Mcalpine got fourth. In Sectionals Mike Travers, Jonathan Taylor, Myles Mcalpine and Elliot Johnson won their weight classes. Norton also won the Canton tournament and the Tri-Valley league.

Six wrestlers qualified for the All-state competition. Mike Travers wrestled well and ended up in 6^th place. Myles came in second so he came out as an alternate for the New England’s competition. Other team wrestlers wrestled well but did not qualify high enough to get a medal. Elliot Johnson was unable to wrestle due to a previous injury he received in the State Competition. Last year the Pin record was set by Mike Travers with 35 pins for the year. This year Jonathan Taylor set the new school record with 37 season pins.
This years team was filled with many competitive and highly skilled wrestlers. The dedication each wrestler put in, with the leadership of an amazing coach lead to the best season they could have possibly had. Norton may never have another wrestling team like the one that competed this year.
