Blog Post #6:

         Former college athlete JJ Nelson a University of Alabama at Brimington receiver who entered the 2015 NFL Combine this fall looking to make a rookie debut in the professionals next year. In this article sports annalist are advocating for athletes over organizations at the NFL Combine. They are explaining how athletes should get treated with more respect from organizations they promote. In this article JJ Nelson represented Adidas with their new model of cleats, first time he has wore Adidas when he rather wear his own Nikes. But the deal Adidas brought to the table was to eye-catching "When Nelson went to the player suite where he had a choice to run in the latest models form Nike, Under Armour, and Adidas, he said he chose Adidas not only because the shoes were comfortable but because he was aware of the $100,000 prize." Nelson only was really focused on the money he would be rewarded for running the fastest on the 40-yard dash. The article is trying to catch the eyes of ordinary people but also NFL prospects. But most important JJ Nelson and other athletes. The purpose of this article is to explain how JJ Nelson needed to sign the endorsement deal prior to the 40-yard dash. 
          In my view I think JJ Nelson should have been eligible to receive the $100,000 dollar reward, because Adidas never made it clear that he had to sign off on the deal prior to the dash. The article states Nelson saying "I signed some waiver at some point, but I was never given a chance to sign an endorsement deal" They really never gave him a chance to sign the deal off or even brought it up, almost like they didn't want to reward him for his great efforts. The tone of this passage is being sympathetic to the athlete JJ Nelson who participated in the 2015 NFL Combine. The writer is trying to pursue the readers that Adidas is wrong and they support JJ Nelson's side.
