All Pro

"All Pro"

In the genre of sports television, one specific aspect has always been missing. There is yet to be a successful television program which interactively educates viewers of all ages and skill levels in the techniques of professional athletes in an entertaining manner. It is about time that changes. Have you ever wished Mariano Rivera was your little league pitching coach?  Well, wish no longer. With the help of “All Pro”, you will be playing like a champion in no time. “All Pro” is an brand new interactive sports education television series airing on the ESPN network premiering on Saturday, March 24^th, with back to back episodes from 2-4pm. Each episode specifically covers one sport, with each position being coached interactively by your favorite top athletes.   Each athlete will guide you step by step through game mechanics and professional techniques of varying difficulty and skill levels, catering to sports fanatics of all age groups.   Throughout the episodes, drills and conditioning activities will be presented in each segment, with possible variations of each exercise based upon the viewer’s personal ability level. In addition to practicing techniques, your favorite athletes will be recapping and explaining real-game scenarios through slow motion break downs of in-game footage, preparing you mentally to play like an all-star. In addition to the mental and physical training of professionals, “All Pro” also gives you the opportunity to look like a professional athlete. Each athlete’s segment  sponsors sports equipment giveaways through interactive sweepstakes, where viewers submit video clips of their own sports successes for an amateur top 10 plays segment at the end of each episode. This not only provides incentives to watch the show, but to also play to your full potential. “All Pro” is the first mainstream sports program which focuses less on the successes of major league athletes, and more on the future successes of its viewers. The use of sweepstakes and major athletes in “All Pro” allows viewers to relate their own actions to that of super stars, increasing interest and thus leaving viewers with the need to watch each week’s episodes repeatedly.

My Virtual Self

My virtual identity consists of me being able to do anything, and everything, that I want to. In the virtual world, I am self-centered, and good at it. Simply put, I would spend all my time doing anything I see worthwhile, or absolutely nothing. If it’s fight evil or taking a nap, I am probably taking a nap. This frees me from any ties to responsibility. I can be either very active, or very lazy, depending on the situation. Of course, I have an unending supply of money. This allows me to purchase all/any property around the world, including a house in the sky. I sleep in a bed of clouds, allowing me to fall asleep instantly. My money and sky house lets me travel around the world, going to a new place whenever I get bored. I own all cars and motorcycles that have ever been created, which I drive recklessly on the streets. My massive amount of money also allows me to hire and train the best chefs in the world, which make full course meals at any time. I am not married; super heroes can’t be tied down. However, I am gladly stuck in a love triangle with Adrianna Lima and Mila Kunis. I have an unending list of super powers, including super strength, the ability to fly, blow up things with my mind, take naps, and walk through walls. I also have the super human ability to physically clone myself, super powers included, allowing me to do as many things at once as needed. This would allow me to play sports, drive fast cars, and get the girl(s) all while sitting on a beach in Australia fishing and drinking beer. On occasion, I hunt big game animals with my hands, simply for something to do. My super powers and massive amounts of cash allow me to be the best at everything. This lets me spend most of my days enjoying the important things. As they say, with great power comes great responsibility. They didn’t know what they were talking about. This is a depiction of me on a normal day. 

Animal Cruelty

Animal Cruelty has been a reoccurring problem throughout history. In most cases, pet owners treat their domestic animals as if they were companions or family. However, there is a surprisingly large amount of animal cruelty cases reported each year. The most prevalent type of animal cruelty often deals with dogs, and in particular, the pit bull breed. Much of this type of animal cruelty has come due to the breed’s involvement in dog fighting across the United States. In many cases, dogs which fall victim to animal cruelty are treated and put up for adoption at rescue agencies. However, the pit bull too often does not have this option.

                The pit bull breed is unrightfully looked upon as an aggressive and unfriendly breed. This bad image has led to the pit bull having one of the lowest adoption rates. Unfortunately, this forces many rescue shelters to enforce a non-adoption policy, due to overcrowding. This means that if a pit bull is too old, aggressive, and unfriendly, there are high chances that the animal will be put down.  The current state of the pit bull and animal cruelty situation depicts a very dark future for this breed.  For this reason, I find it important to do what is possible to increase the adoption rate of the pit bull breed. By working towards increasing the amount of pit bull ownership in stable homes, it is my hope that the image of the pit bull can soon be changed, providing a bright future for pit bull adoption.
