Schools are given limited funding for sports teams, yet they have extensive financial needs. If corporate sponsorship is taken away from sports teams, they will lack the financial support needed to be successful.]]> 2018-04-25 17:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349776 Example 2 macy_pniewski https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349777 Corporate sponsorships impose the motives of capitalism on school sports teams. Capitalism is a social makeup that connects economics to private owners, creating funding bias and an increased focus on money. If schools are connected to corporations, the focus becomes more about funding and bureaucracy than student success. Student sports teams should find funding through fundraising efforts, nonprofit organizations, and school allotments and break ties with corporations. ]]> 2018-04-25 17:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349777 Example 3 macy_pniewski https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349778 School sports teams that are sponsored by corporations receive funding from those corporations. It is necessary for this funding to continue because students will not be able to play sports if it does not. Schools do not care about sports teams so they need corporations to care about them. If corporations need their ads posted around school facilities, that is okay because they are contributing to the success of sports teams.]]> 2018-04-25 17:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349778 Example 4 macy_pniewski https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349779 Corporations are making a mockery out of school sports. What happened to letting sports teams fend for themselves after they run out of all of their school's funding? Students need to learn personal responsibility. They need to find their own funding for their sports team and stop letting corporations control their resources and their environment. Who needs those ads? All they do is distract from who we should be focusing on: the kids.]]> 2018-04-25 17:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/255349779 Our ideas https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/257390958 American schools have tried to stay neutral in many issues for a long time. Religion has largely been taken out of school. Teachers make their lessons politically unbiased. If we allow advertisements, it may lead to a slippery slope where anyone with enough money can influence young minds.]]> 2018-05-02 18:15:57 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/257390958 Our ideas https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/257392901 American schools have always stood for freedom. When we allow the highest bidder to influence our children, all hell will break lose. Who knows the toll on young minds when anyone who wants to can advertise whatever they want. ]]> 2018-05-02 18:19:40 UTC https://padlet.com/macy_pniewski/3qfkknpwyw0z/wish/257392901
