So, anyone want to debate me on this premise:

Sports culture is good for American society

?

I'd be taking the pro position.

I would gladly take "con" on that argument. If you agree, request approval, and let's get cracking

Good God, I'm the Herman Meville of ATS!

But back on point. Debate approved!

Debate approval request

Adjensen has agreed to debate me on the following premise:

Sports culture is good for American society

I will be representing the pro position, and attempting to fight my urge to go easy on such a cute puppy.

(First request, let me know if I'm missing any details)


Thanks.

Easily approved...

I've just posted the opening statement in my first debate.

Challenge Match: adjensen vs. Patrick Garrow17: Sports culture is good for American society

Judgments on the queenannie38 vs Druid debate are in.

And the winner is....

Wow!

I have to give HUGE thanks to Druid42 for giving me my first chance to debate and in fact, encouraging me to participate as a fighter in the first place! This forum is the most fun I've had at ATS in a long time and I appreciate that.

I look forward to another one with Druid some time in the future and whomever else I have the opportunity and privilege of engaging with, as well!

I'm stoked.
And to top it off...today is my birthday!

I feel confident and ready for my second go at debating...now, off to find another topic and another fighter!

My second post is up.

Judgment sheepslayer vs. seabag is in. A tie had to be broken...

Congratulations Seabag!

I knew this would be a tough debate just because of the topic. Nevertheless, I think it went well and if I had to lose....at least I went down fighting!

That was a VERY close debate as I knew it would be. I think it was unanimous that you creamed me in the opening statements.

It was a lot of fun though. It’s tough getting in everything I want to say with the 5,000 character limit.

I thought the judges provided some excellent feedback that we can both use to sharpen our debating skills….I know I have a lot of room for improvement.

Thanks to everyone.

Onward….

Well, I have never been one to curl-up in a corner and lick my wounds after such a close defeat.....so does anyone have a topic for a new debate?

My second post in the Sports debate is up here: www.abovetopsecret.com...

Debate topic approval request

Druid42 and I would like to debate the following statement:

The two party dominance in America is ending

I will be taking the pro side, Druid42 the con. My opening statement will be ready tonight.
