What every team does have on their radar is the superstar in the making "Zion Williamson." The kid is a stud at 6'7" and 285 lbs he's set to dominate grown men in the NBA. Once he gets to the NBA, he would be the second heaviest player trailing behind 7'3" Boban Marjonovic by only 5 pounds. To top it all off, Zion can jump out the building. His max vertical leap is 46" which is incredible for someone at his weight. It's clear that Zion has dominated in NCAA basketball, winning the Wooden Award which is given to the most outstanding basketball player. Not to mention that he won this as a freshman, which puts him in great company with other NBA players who also won the award as a freshman. These NBA players are superstars: Kevin Durant and Anthony Davis. The hype for Zion is insane, but there's one thing scaring the people and NBA organizations. Zion didn't officially declare for the NBA draft. Illustration by: Elias Stein The New...

Fake news isn’t something new, but it has been on the rise these past years and it’s thanks to the internet. A lot of people are on the internet which gives fake news many platforms to spread on. There are many reasons as to why fake news is created in the first place. It could be to misinform the public or deceive them. This was evident in the 2016 US presidential election where fake news helped trump win. There is also fake news on websites where they would tell you how “a grandma magically took 20 years off her age with a secret herb.” These aren't true, their main purposes are for you to click on it and increase the website’s viewer count and contribute to ad revenue. This is something called clickbait. Image by Dan Shewan With the growing amounts of fake news on the internet, people should know how to distinguish what’s real and what isn’t. When I come across controversial or interesting pieces of information on the internet, I would consider the source, use my judgeme...

Costume from Party City Halloween costumes that are meant to represent and resemble another culture are supposed to be for fun and laughs. However, it could be the exact opposite. Like the video says, costumes could be very offensive to the culture it is based off of because Halloween costumes are meant to be funny or scary. The person wearing the costume could be implying that the culture is funny or scary, even if they didn't intend to in the first place. To me, it isn't a problem if people are trying to dress up as another person, and therefore wear costumes, or accessories to make them look similar. The problem is when people will dress up as a culture, not knowing why they are dressed up like that, and wearing it anyways because it looks coo. This is evident in native costumes, or "Indians," where people think it is okay to wear them because they look cool, or funny, but in reality they are being disrespectful to their culture. "Mexican" costume ...

Banner from Knock The Vote The "Knock The Vote" PSA was obviously directed towards the American youth to try and get them to vote. To get their message across, they used the elderly to mock the younger generation and thank them for not voting because they'll help keep things the same as they currently are. The elderly brought up the numerous benefits that they'd be enjoying with the help of the youth staying at home instead of voting. The lack of youth taking action to vote allows the other generations of Americans to vote for their candidate with less competition. The ad uses reverse psychology to aggravate and provoke a negative reaction from the younger Americans. It will try to convince the youth to prove the elderly in the video wrong and actually vote, which is the true message and meaning behind the video. Uno Reverse Card To me, it didn't really affect me at all because I wouldn't be of legal age to vote, and because I don't live in ...

Sean Clancy (@sclancy79) on Twitter Nike is getting mixed reactions from their 30th anniversary ad campaign featuring Colin Kaepernick. There are people that love it, and others that hate it, vowing to boycott their products and burning every Nike product they have. I see the burning of Nike attire as something useless because they already paid for the product and they’re not getting anything in return, except for some attention on social media. While some people have believed that this was the start of Nike’s downfall, and expected continuous bashing and boycotting from many people, it didn’t happen. Trump even took the time to comment on the situation on Twitter saying, “What was Nike thinking.” As time passed by, I can conclude that Nike has indeed put a lot of thought into this as their sales and stock prices have increased greatly. Even though the campaign is about racial injustice, I believe that it isn’t the biggest reason as to why they released an ad with Colin Kaepernick....
