Sports paragraph

Randy Moss

     Trading Randy moss for a third round pick has its risks but overall is worth it.  Moss had played for the Vikings before and left the team on bad terms.  But With Favre any season could be his last so to get such a talented receiver will help him tremendously.  Some people think that when Moss is not happy with his contract he does not play at 100%.  But luckily right now he is very happy and is finally playing with Brett Favre, the two had wanted to play with each other for years.  When Moss was with the New England Patriots (2007 season) he played great and their team went 16 and 0 and ended up playing in the super Bowl but unfortunately they lost.  Toward the end of his run with the Patriots Moss started to lose his edge and actually didn’t even have any receptions in his last game, he was not happy with his contract.  So as you can see if we can keep Moss happy then he will be a great addition to the Minnesota Vikings.

Bulling
Bulling has many different forms and can take place just about anywhere whether it is intentional or not.  All over the US students and kids are bullied for many different reasons.  Most kids and teens don’t realize how cruel they are really being when they call someone a name or make fun of them for how they look or act.  It is my opinion that this is exactly what happened in the case of Tyler Clementi.
Tyler Clementi asked to have their dorm room alone from 9-12 one night and his roommate Dharun Ravi went to another friends room and when he turned on his webcam he saw Tyler Clementi with another guy.  He proceeded to stream the video to the internet and continue to watch.  When Tyler found out what Dharun had done he was devastated and a few days later he jumped off the George Washington Bridge into the Hudson River. 
I think that Mr. Ravi knew what he was doing and thought that it would be funny to make a fool of his roommate.  His intent was probably not to get Tyler to commit suicide but that does not make his actions any less cruel.  He told his friends to go on his webcam if they dared to see it again.  Dharun did not give Tyler any compassion. 
Dharun should be punished for his actions but not severely I think that his punishment should include community service and to have him be required to take classes on respect.  He already has to live with the fact that he was the last straw that made Tyler commit end his life.  That is a big punishment in itself.
