Conclusion

It has been a pleasure to blog for Sports History class. When I first realized I had to take this course I thought it would be boring. I actually really enjoyed learning about the history of sports because I learned how sport developed into the spectacle it is today. Blogging is a fun and creative way to express my opinions on issues in the world of sports. I loved learning about the rise of intercollegiate athletics, the Black Sox scandal, the formation of baseball, and many ethical issues that were presented in class. My favorite ethical issue I blogged about was Pete Rose. I enjoyed hearing this issue from a different perspective because I believe Rose should be in the Hall of Fame as a player but not coach. My favorite issue in class wasn't in a reading or presentation but was actually a debate we had in class. The class we spoke about LeBron leaving Cleveland really made think. After the class I blogged about the issue. I enjoyed hearing other peoples opinion about this issue in class and I realized how big this issue is. LeBron's upcoming decision in the summer of 2010 not only affects the Cavaliers, but also affects the NBA and the city of Cleveland. I believe if LeBron leaves Cleveland the franchise will soon follow. I liked the feedback I received on my post because it really made me think for the first time LeBron actually might leave Cleveland. Overall I enjoyed blogging because it let me communicate with classmates outside of class. I hope to blog more in the future. I believe on day blogging will take place of newspapers, and will only grow as a form of media.
