The Government Should Allow Student Athletes To Get Paid

  Lieutenant Governor of California Gavin Newsom signed into law a measure that allows players to receive endorsement deals, despite the National Collegiate Athletic Assn. calling the move unconstitutional. I believe that other states should follow in his path. Student athletes are constantly getting exploited by the school to profit. The argument is always that student athletes are compensated with school tuition being paid for. Yet the amount of effort and profit the schools are making from games and coverage is enormous amount. I am not proposing the schools pay the athlete but instead allow major companies to endorse them. Companies such as Nike, Adidias, and the list goes on; are always looking for the next player going to the pro athlete level. Allowing these companies to attach the name will not only benefit the school but also the player. Students need to be able to receive a little bit of income from the amount of time they put in to perfecting their craft.  C...

While I was reading " Paid Maternity Leave for both Parents " I did agree with a lot of the statements made. The author made a great point when stating " According to the World Health Organization, the minimum amount of time a woman needs to fully recover from giving birth is 16 weeks." Which is a good argument, and how are you going to allow a mother who has not fully recovered back to the job. While I believe it would be amazing to give the mother a full paycheck at the end of the day the company still has to make money and now you are paying an employee who is not working at all and contributing. There are always going to be that issue. while the military allows mothers who are pregnant and servicing to still receive there full paycheck. So there are always ways to help the mother. Even if the company allowed half her paycheck to be received would be a great deal of help.  As far as the fathers believe it is essential for them to be there for the mother and new...

"Trump didn't have to"

While reading on USA Today I came across an opinion article stating Trump didn't have to with drawl troops from Syria to keep his promise on his campaign. I being a veteran and always for bringing troops home still agree with the author's. They both make great and valid points you can tell they have done there research talking about this issue. An example would be when the authors report "The current U.S. military presence in Syria of 1,000 troops represents 0.05 percent of all American military forces in uniform today." that is a small amount of troops deployed into that area in the gram scheme of things, but could have a bigger effect if something was to happen. Both authors state how we do not elect based on issue-by-issue, and that meaning they may not keep all promises but do we as Americans really expect that anymore? I believe that it comes down more to the overall how did the president do and who the upcoming candidates are. Withdrawing troops to fulfill on...
