Cristiano Ronaldo

Soccer, the most beautiful sport in the world, has incredible players these days making it difficult for the FIFA to choose who the best player is. Cristiano Ronaldo, born portuguese player who plays in Real Madrid, is one of the most popular players as well as Lionel Messi from Argentina. The thing is, Cristiano Ronaldo last year scored more goals than Lionel Messi and even though the statistics favored CR, FIFA gave the Golden Ball to the argentinian player. How could the Fifa not grant Cristiano this award? He deserved it even though his arrogant actiones or his attitude, this is about soccer not about the personality of the player. I hope next year, this award should be in CR hands; the way he is playing is just magic.

Penn State Football

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/writers/andy_staples/11/08/penn-state-joe-paterno-scandal/index.html

Lately on the news it has been seen that in the Penn State University serious events involving sexual abusement have ocurred years ago with the same staff nowadays. The former defensive coordinator, Jerry Sandulski, was discovered abusing sexually of a football player in the showers of the university facilities and sent to jail for the crime. Joe Paterno, Nittany Lions head coach, is now being fired by the university without ever comitting a crime; he followed proper procedure by knowing the exact incident and acted right away but the board of members decided to fire him. This coach has an impecable resume and has done excellent job in the football area, there is no reason to let him go without being involved in the deliquency comitted by the others. This actions are unfair for the students who may be victims but it is also completely unfair for Paterno who has done only but an incredible job.

Henry Liu’s blog “#8 riots after Stanley Cup”:

After this sad event that happened not so long ago, these news affected the Canucks’ fans making them angry and furious because the Boston Bruins took their title as a surprise. I’m a soccer fan and these kind of events happen commonly when some big opportunity fades away and another team snatch away what was possible going to be yours. Although I think the fans overreacted and made too much disasters, at the end its only a sports game and the opportunity can soon arrive again.
