Athletes marketing

Athletes today are making a lot of money. As if that wasn’t enough. Now they also have to have their own line of apparel, gear, and accessories. Most of the athletes though that do this, are basketball players. Not to offend anyone, but I can’t stand it. I think it’s a waste of time for a bunch a boring shit.
           It is pretty obvious what I do love. And that’s Lacrosse. Even though Lacrosse is not a big sport, it’s growing rapidly. They are actually starting to get a few very great and famous players. The two that are the best known are both from Baltimore, and both have their own line of apparel, gear, and accessories. These two great athletes are Kyle Harrison and Paul Rabil. The difference between these two players though, is they’re with different companies.
         Kyle Harrison has is signed with STX, an old school, but still great company. His line is called the K18 line, because obviously his first name is kyle, and he’s number eighteen. He has a very simple line that includes a shaft, head, chest and elbow pads, gloves, and apparel. His line is more on the lower end, and geared to a more beginner player, which is a little sad. The only this in his line that appeals to me is the head and apparel.

         Paul Rabil on the other hand, is signed with Warrior. His line includes all the same stuff. His line only offers a limited time offer on the gloves. So if you don’t  but them right away you’re screwed. The nicer part is, he offers cleats, a universal head, and a more expert level gear selection witch makes it more appealing. I would rather have Rabil’s gear any day. It’s much nicer, and cooler looking.

Both of these players use this to their advantage. Being sponsored by the companies gives them many perks. They both get free gear, clothing, shoes, accessories, and whatever else the company. The main difference between these two, is it seems like Paul Rabil got the better deal. They offer more products, and seem to be more stylish and stronger.

Music artists

I have a wide variety of music on my phone. I have anywhere from hip/hop to alternative to rock. Probably my favorite of all of them is rock. It gets me pumped for games and I just genuinely enjoy it. The problem with most rock bands is that they're sell outs. which is why I like to listen to older rock music from like 2005 or 2010. not too old but old enough to take me out of the mainstream of things.

My favorite band is probably rise against. i don't know what it is exactly, but I just really love their music. Probably my favorite song by them is satellite and . Just the beat alone I love. But the words make the song a whole which is why I absolutely love it. some songs that's the only reason I buy them. But this one I just love all together.

This is the only band I choose to support and actually buy their music. I like them that much. almost every song on a album I love so i don't mind spending the money. hip/hop I refuse to spend money on because I don't consider them real bans, but there's a couple songs where I love the beat so I'll download it.

Honestly, hip/hop artists aren't bands in  my opinion. and to me, only real music comes from actual bands. only one person contributes to hip/hop. rock requires the whole band to synchronize with each other and become a rel band. This is where real music comes from. These bands are a lot less likely to sell out to the big companies then a hip/hop artist. They sell out almost immediately to the big companies. That's why to me rock is a better form of music because it's real music.
