I'm thinking of going with the topic of how athletes should have to stay in school a minimum amount of time before being able to enter the pros. So far its alright but all of you are pretty unique with ideas so do you have any other interesting topics in mind.. THAT'LL BE EASY to write

don't pick easy topics to write. easy topics look far less impressive no matter how well they are done IMO

Ive got a few reasons just off the top of my head

1.) time for kids to mature, be ready for the money that is about to be given to them and (I'd say in all cases no matter your draft number) the fame that is going to be given to them

2.) it protects teams somewhat, for every KG and lebron theres a Kwame Brown lurking

3.) Theres a reason the NFL doesnt allow straight out of highschool kids into the league, theyre not physically ready for the game and in a lot of case not ready for the mental load that comes with schemes & playbooks.


I'm going to be speaking on sports in general, mostly the NBA & NFL ( baseball is weird to me with how they draft kids straight outta hs but they dont see playing time for 5 years)

youd have a hard time convincing me that "college" is what they should have to go to first because its not officially connected with the nba. i agree with all of your arguments about maturity, readiness and all that but you gotta justify why college is THE thing that they have to do first

i dont think this is a good topic, the arguments are too easy to shut down imo.

Speech Class, the last class I ever had to to take for my ba.

I think I have a pretty nice persuasive piece on Homelessness.

:comeon: This is all nonsense that has been shut down numerous times on that other site.

I would give you an F just off the topic alone.

persuasive speeches imo has to be something concrete, it doesn't even have to be something you believe in..as long as you can defend in thoroughly that's all that matters.
