Introduction

I am a huge Tennessee Titans fan who has ten years experience of playing football and about eleven years experience of following football. I follow strictly the NFL with the exception of moderate knowledge of most other professional sports and pretty good knowledge of collegiate sports. I am so interested in football because of my ten years experience. It was the best time of my life because there were no larger adrenaline rushes than there was in football. I loved playing defense for the reason that you could legally hit people as hard as you could and not be punished for it. The reason I follow the NFL the most is because there is nothing better than watching the world's best football players perform in front of thousands of fans. There is just something about that which gives me the chills when I watch. Fantasy football makes Sundays even more exciting knowing that I have a chance to pick my own team and show my knowledge about the NFL. I can then focus on certain performers in most of the games instead of just watching my Titans play. I am very interested in taking this class because not everyone knows about the history of sports or the philosophy. I am excited to become even smarter about sports and understand its origins. I expect great things from this course including broadening my knowledge about my favorite aspect of life...sports. The only concern I have for this class is in the ethics portion. I am taking an ethics course along with this one and it does not look like a fun class. That makes me worry about the ethics portion of this class and I can only hope that the aspect of sports involved with ethics can make it more interesting.
