What do these five sports have to do with science?
Feb 27th
I already know a few things about why they have to do with science, when I say science I’m talking about Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency, things like velocity, levers(first class,second class, third class), friction, simple machines(pulley, gear,wheel etc…) and many more. Anyway, here are the sports:
Diving (diving board- second class lever) Hockey (hockey stick-third class lever) Biking ( friction and wind resistance) Running (friction or traction) Tennis (racket-third class lever)
Please use some scientific words, but easy enough for me to understand. Also, explain how and why they have to do with science.

When sports are involved, are American colleges just part of the entertainment industry?
Feb 25th
They pay kids with scholarships to entertain fans to make money, most of which gets reinvested in the sports programs to make more money.
All the while, they push kids into either athletic majors or sociology or something that requires little coursework. Many of them, like the University of Oklahoma, they are not even in with the rest of the students in their basic general education classes. They have sections of math English, history, and so on of just athletes.
Is this the business model of a serious learning institution or an entertainment company?
