Freedom

What does freedom mean to you?  How does this relate to you as a blogger? Freedom for me means being able to express yourself and being able to share, what ever you want with out being afraid of getting hurt or laughed at usually. This relates to my blog because in these blogs we get the opportunity to express ourselves freely without the fear of being laughed or mocked at. Freedom also relates to blogging because we get to show the world who we really are without a lot of barriers created today in the modern world. In soccer you get the freedom to express yourself sometimes. In soccer in my opinion there is pretty much no freedom of speech. For example currently in soccer if you discuss with the referee he can and might a yellow card and in extreme situations a red card. Right now there is an on going discussion about freedom of speech. There were two topics towards it. The first one was if you were able to wear religious messages in your shirt, and a decision has been made, which was that if you wore a religious message in you undershirt it would result in a yellow card. The next one was towards players being able to say bad words when scoring a goal and right now it is a on going discussion. In my opinion players should not be able to say bad words because it sets a bad example to younger kids who admire soccer. The religious discussion I can see why it exists because a person could offend another persons religion and could even offend the country they are playing against or also the host nation having the game.

    Nice thoughts Leemer, I could understand why you are saying that the soccer players shouldn’t be able to cuss when they score a goal. Although people should actually be able to do this since its their right “freedom of speech” well atleast in the US it is. Well nice thinking about freedom.
    P.S. you should check for more grammar/word usage
