if your here then you probs like skiing
so write about skiing, you should have no problem staying motivated. and already have a community of people to ask if you have a question...
i dont know what grade ur in but for starters "why skiing is the best sport" could be a good topic.

talk about blood doping and the tour du france.

Basically the removal of red blood cells and then putting them back in 12 hours later which increases energy

i would honestly talk about the "new NFL." it's becoming more and more of a joke nowadays and i think it would make for a great paper.

talk about how unique skiing is because for the most part there are no rules because people can do whatever they want want how there is no need for anyone in the sport to do something ethically wrong (steroids etc.) because it is such a free sport.

You could could do something about the environmental effects of skiing, like ski resorts, heli/cat skiing, driving to the hill, etc. On the one hand a lot of these things make our sport a lot easier, but on the other hand, without snow and sick terrain, we're kinda fucked, making skiing very tied to the environment. TBH I don't even know if what I wrote makes sense anymore, waaaaaay too tired.

it was developed in France by French soldier Raymond Belle. The main aim was to develop clever way of escaping from war. David belle his son later developed it. The current form emerged in 1988 and was combined with the gymnastics and martial arts.

Write an essay about not being able to think of a topic for your essay.

Or just skip yourself the trouble and don't write an essay, and turn in a first-person version of the post.

I thought you were a moron before I read this gem, but wow you make this easy.

And why the hell do you think anyone cares about your opinion if you DEFINITELY don't know what you're talking about? Read the title of the thread, you should move on immediately at that point.

That would actually be a really good topic with lots of material if you do it on soccer. Even if you don't like the sport that sounds really good.

basically goodell is ruining football.

excessive fines/penalties, player bias, and horrible calls are causing a lot of commotion. football is a violent sport, you have two options; hit or be hit, you can't change the way the game is played!

do some research on it, it's similar to how the NHL wanted to ban fighting from hockey.

I think the point shes getting at is how the NFL as a whole has always controlled the lives of their players by deciding what they do on and off the field but recently they've taken that control to a new level, where they alter the "fairness" of the game by favoring teams and players which ultimately defeats the purpose of a league.
