Should College Football Players Get Paid?

by Khari Dash

College football is a big thing in America. During weekends, people will tune in to watch different schools and players played against each other. Despite the love and glamor, people have for college football, many have different issues with it. One issue in particular people have is whether college players should be getting pay to play in college.

People believed that they should get paid for playing in college games and I believe they should get paid for the hard work and effort that they put in for the team and the support they bring in to the school. College football players deserve to get paid for numerous reasons. 

One reason is the ratings college football players help bring in to primetime television channels like ABC, Fox, and other channels. These channels will show different ads showing when the games will be televised and show different highlight from players from previous games to draw in the viewers' attention and see how good the school players are.

Are Puppy Mills a Real Issue?

by Meagan Kinney

Do you know where your puppy came from? And if you don’t have a puppy or a dog, do you know where your friend, family, or neighbor got their adorable pet?

Well, only 30% of American households have a pet from a rescue shelter. Where do the other 70% of our pets come from? They come from places called Puppy Mills.

Puppy mills are an establishment that breeds puppies for sale in conditions that are usually inhumane. There are about 10,000 puppy mills in the country. Over 2 million puppies are bred from puppy mills each year.
