Unlike English class, which focuses on language skills specific to one culture or region, math provides a universal foundation that connects people across the world and is crucial for global communication in fields like technology and economics. English class does not prepare you enough for the real world like math does. Math class holds much more importance than English throughout all of your school career.

Article From American Sports Weekly

Soccer is an overrated sport that lacks the excitement and skill found in other games like basketball or football. Players spend most of the time running back and forth without much action, and the low-scoring nature of matches makes it painfully dull to watch. The exaggerated reactions to minor fouls and constant flopping are more like theatrical performances than athletic displays. Unlike sports that require diverse skills, such as tackling, shooting, and passing in quick succession, soccer feels repetitive and monotonous. It’s no wonder it’s less popular in countries that value more dynamic and fast-paced entertainment.

What sport is being biased against?

soccer

The sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink as the small town prepared for another quiet night. Mrs. Hargrove sat by her window, her hands busy knitting, though her mind wandered to her son far away in the city, wishing he would call. Across the street, young Ella eagerly scribbled in her diary, dreaming of the day she would leave this sleepy town behind. Meanwhile, old Mr. Bennett in the corner house sighed heavily, staring at the photo of his late wife, a flood of bittersweet memories filling his heart. Unbeknownst to them all, a storm was brewing beyond the hills, destined to disrupt their tranquil routines by morning.

Checkers is a two-player board game played on an 8x8 board with alternating dark and light squares. Each player starts with 12 pieces, typically placed on the dark squares of the three rows closest to them. The goal is to capture all of the opponent’s pieces or block them so they cannot make a move. Pieces move diagonally forward to adjacent dark squares and can capture an opponent’s piece by jumping over it to an empty square on the other side. Multiple jumps are allowed in a single turn if possible. When a piece reaches the opponent's back row, it is "kinged," allowing it to move both forward and backward diagonally. Players take turns, and the game ends when one player has no pieces left or no legal moves available.
