This year's focus will include team image, community connection and corporate partnerships, " said Rory Edwards, CFO of Georgia Training Alliance. "The re-branded Atlanta Ravens may have a new name and look but the same work ethic, professionalism and style of football will be a consistent part of our organization."

I got this quote from an article called: Atlanta Xplosion women’s professional tackle football team moves to Clayton County
on www.iwflsports.com

This quote goes to show that the women are able to play football. We may not be as built up as men are but we can still do it. This is clearly not a gimmick because it is for the teams interest. Like Rory Edwards said, different look and name but the same team. The Atlanta Xplosion Women's Professional Tackle Football Team is about cooperating with the team and enjoying the sport. Thats what it is all about.

Picture #2


In this picture there is a girl running with a football and a girl chasing after her. I feel that this picture is very useful in getting my message across. I know that football known as a males sport but as you can see, a girl is playing too. This girl looks like she is dedicated to the game just as much as any other player would be. She is not letting anybodys thoughts or concerns stop her from winning or trying her best.

Quote #1

I mean, she’s a lot of fun to be around,She brings a new energy to our company. I enjoyed last year a lot and enjoy and look forward to working with her this year, see how much she learns. I think she came a really long way for the races she ran and how spotty the season was. She did pretty good. Especially near the end, she really picked it up a lot of places, became competitive in a few races. ” - Dale Earnhardt Jr.

This quote came from the New York Times article "A Go-Slow Approach in Patrick’s Second Year in Nascar" by Viv Bernstein.

This quote goes to show that having a girl around does not change the moral of the game or sport. Like Dale Earnhardt Jr. stated, since she is the first girl in history to participate in Nascar Racing, she did well. Once we get the hang of the game then we will be just as competitive.

In the article that I got this quote from states that over the past two years that Danica Patrick has been in racing she has had some downfalls. She has brought herself back up to the top. She entered Nascar at the age of 28. She placed 35th in last years Nationwide race in Daytona. The month before, in California, she ran in the top 15. At the Homestead-Miami Speedway in the Nationwide season finale in November she finished 19th. This goes to show that girls are capable. It might take us some work and getting used to but we can do this just like Danica Patrick has done and will continue to do.

Some people are against this topic just like these people are against another topic. As a whole, most people feel that girls or guys should not interfere with the others doings. People up north and in the western part of the U.S were raised different than the people down south. Down south, guys and girls were raised together while people up north were raised with more etiquette. We learned more of how to have fun than to worry about who is coming. The way you were brought up can affect the way you feel about my topic.

In this picture it shows how guys and girls come together. I feel that we should all come together and enjoy what we do. For example, some girls like Nascar but no girl ever raced in it because that would have been different. In 2009 Danica Patrick stood up and changed racing. Now there is a girl racing with all the guys. Males and females should be able to interact without disappointing people. You should not feel weird or strange for doing something that you enjoy. As long as you like what your doing then do it for the fun, not because of what others think. Just like Danica Patrick did. She has not won a Nascar race yet but she has finished in the top 5. She is just as good as any of the guys. This picture persuades that we are all just as capable of each other. No matter the sex orientation.

WORDLE #1 BASED ON TOPIC KEY TERMS

Wordle: WORDLE!!!!!

In this Wordle, I am describing many things. Some of the words are describing how people react to males and females coinciding. There are words that describe the persons feelings for something. My favorite word in my Wordle is Passion. Passion is a strong positive feeling towards something. Passion is a very fragile feeling that you have to find. Another word I like it Fun. I like to go out and do what I like to do; I do not let people stop me in any way. This is how everybody should feel. Ask yourself these questions. Do you want your passion crushed? Do you want to be held back from having fun?
