1. At the end of the movie I truly believe that Kit outplayed her sister Dadi at home plate. Dadi wanted to win the game, but her sister was determined to finally better her sister and did by knocking her over and scoring the winning run.
2. Women were discriminated among the people in the stands because men laughed at thought that women were not ballplayers. The women did not have to worry about wearing helmets or fast pitching because they are not as strong as men.
3. My favorite part of the movie is when Tom Hanks walks into the locker room and take a pee in front of all the women. He completely disregards their position as ballplayers and is drunk coaching them.

Gender
Only in some sports do women have equality compared to men. In soccer, women are appreciated, at least in the United States, because our country has produced great players like Mia Hamm and our women's national team made their final of the World Cup. However, in basketball women are never heard of and the same goes for baseball.
What do Bryant, Duncan Have Left?
http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/7927917/nba-expect-higher-duncan-bryant-usage-rates-lower-results
5/15/12
Summary: Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan are two of the elite players of NBA history and are currently still involved in their careers. People are beginning to question what these two superstars have left to give because their age is starting to slow them down. However, Bryant almost lead the league in scoring this year and Duncan ended the regular season in first place in the West.
Significance: These two players may be old, but they are still very significant to their teams and the NBA. Kobe still has a few years left in his career to catch Jordan for six rings, while Duncan can remain being a role player on the Spurs if they continue to succeed. Why would either players return when they are still achieving greatness?
question: Can Kobe or Duncan win another ring?
Alternate Heading: All Time Greats

Miracle
1.) The Soviets were known world-wide as the best team in hockey for 15 years running. The fact that a bunch of college hockey players from the United States trained for 7 months and defeated them in the Olympics is a "miracle."
2.) Herb Brooks was a great coach because he pushed all of his players to their limits. By making them skate suicides for hours after they tied a game, he made his players learn that they always had to play their hardest in order to achieve greatness.
3.) My favorite part of the movie was that the scene of the USA vs. The Soviets was the longest part of the movie.

Wayne Rooney's Goal Voted Best
http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/story/_/id/7887893/wayne-rooney-2011-winning-goal-vs-man-city-voted-best-premier-league-history
5/7/12
Summary: Over the weekend, Rooney's bicycle kick last year was voted the best goal in the history of the English Premiere League. Rooney not only made this incredible goal that went into the upper 90, but it was also against United's rivals, Manchester City. The Premiere League was close at the time, but Rooney gave United the edge after scoring that goal and ending the game at 1-0.
Significance: Seeing a pretty goal usually makes headlines, but Rooney's goal is inspirational for anyone whether you like soccer or not. The bicycle kick is not only the hardest way to score a goal in the sport, but Rooney's was pure perfection in form an placement.
Alternate Heading: The Best Goal of All Time'
question: Is it the best goal in soccer's history?

Racism in Sports
I believe there is racism in sports exists, but only in basketball and football. People believe that hispanics are the majority of the MLB, but blacks, whites, and even asians play baseball as well. In basketball, all the best players are black players because they are extremely tall, fast, and strong. Examples of the best players in basketball are Kobe Bryant, Lebron James, and Kevin Durant. In football, black players are the majority of the NFL. Running backs, wide receivers, linebackers, and lineman are usually all black, but the quarterback for the most part is a white guy. However, there are also even black quarterbacks like Michael Vick and Cam Newton.

Barca Players Urge Coach To Stay
http://espn.go.com/sports/soccer/story/_/id/7865908/barcelona-captain-carles-puyol-says-all-wanted-pep-guardiola-stay
4/30/12
Summary:
Carlos Puyol, captain of FC Barcelona, spoke out to the public saying him and other players "urged coach Guardolia to stay." Guardolia played for Barca in the past and had a career of coaching the club for five years, winning two Champions League titles and three La Liga titles. Barcelona fans cannot seem to understand why he would part from the club, as they are considered arguably the best squad ever.
Significance:
Barcelona has always been known for their success, but in the past month they have lost in the Champions League semi-final and the La Liga title to a loss from Real Madrid. Messi, the greatest player on Earth, will now have a new coach. It will be interesting to see next season if Barcelona can rebound not only from their rare losses, but with a new coach as well.
Alternate Heading: Barcelona Down The Tubes
question: Why did Pep leave?
