NFL Players Contribute To An Anti-Domestic Violence PSA

NFL Players Contribute To An Anti-Domestic Violence PSA

As high-profile NFL superstars take a stand against domestic violence, I believe that they are successfully resurrecting their image as role models. It is apparent that the majority of the NFL's fan base consists primarily of males. These talented men are seen as heroes to men of all ages and they have the ability to influence the behavior of those that look up to them. 

Due to the recent events that have placed the NFL under close examination, I think that it was time that some of these players show that not every football star resorts to domestic violence. The No More campaign does just that. The players that are willing to stand up for a cause that appears to recently be prevalent in the NFL shows that not all who play the same sport act the same way.  

The fact that this particular PSA is scheduled to run during games, as well as it's future plans of running in print ads, is definitely going to change the way the public views NFL players. I believe this to be true because they are reaching the  demographic that is most susceptible to following the actions of these men, who remain their role models, as well as being susceptible to engage in domestic violence. 

As the popularity of this No More PSA increases, I think that the number of NFL stars taking a stand will increase as well. Not only are these players influential people to fans, but they are also influential men to their teammates. Their statements could cause many to become aware of the signs that are associated with domestic violence. They could also be the ones to put an end to it. 

Although the public may not believe that this is an effective way to approach the issues that are present in the NFL, this is a decent way to start. At least these particular players are not making excuses for their fellow football friends. Instead, they are standing up and stating, "No more."

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
