Tebow, the Option, and the NFL

Why won't the option work in the NFL? The question has been asked many times, and the same answers are used every time. One of the arguments is that NFL quarterbacks can't take the beating that option quarterbacks are required to take. This same argument has been transferred to Tim Tebow now that the Broncos have used the option (fairly successfully) against the Chiefs. Why?

Penn State "Protests"

 If you look at pretty much any significant social movement in the 20th century, chances are that a good portion of those within the movement were college students (or college-aged kids) and that many of their demonstrations and protests happened on their college campuses. Civil rights, Vietnam, apartheid. All of these had their roots within the youth, and it's no coincidence. College should be a "coming of age" time. It's a time when kids make the transition from living in their parents' world to seeing what their world is going to be. During this time, their eyes are opened to many different ideas and events going on around them that they may not have had full awareness of, or realized the implications on their own future. They must take this new influx of knowledge and try to make sense of it all. Sometimes when these students look at the world from this new perspective that what is out there is theirs to inherit, they don't like what they see. They see injustice, abuse in the world. It's at this time that in the past these young people decided to take ownership of their futures, to take it upon themselves to change the world that they were about to step into.
