Money and Violence in Liga MX

 

   Although Liga MX is loved and watched by millions every weekend, there still some very questionable topics about the way it runs. You see, Liga MX owners aren't the best people per se, and the owners of the federation are probably even worse. Although there are the unicorns who actually do care about the league, the majority of them only matter how much money is in their pockets and how they can make even more money than what they already have. They are money hungry pigs who try to act as if they care. If the really did care, the whole fan base wouldn't be complaining about the way the league is structured, and how its flaws only ruin the sport in the nation on a bigger picture. What I mean is that due to these rules and regulations, the national team is the one who is getting affected mostly, and with that, Mexico will never be able to compete against top nations who league system is actually good.           


The biggest problems Liga MX has is the way it is played and the violence that can occur inside the stadiums, which sometimes makes it difficult to enjoy and watch the league.  Like I stated in past blogs, there is no relegation and promotion, so bad teams from the top can't go to lower divisions and great teams from lower divisions can't get better competition. The reason this is affecting the league is stated prefect by Trejo, "Without the fear of relegation, the drama in Liga MX is lost and, for many, mediocrity is favored."5 razones por las que la Liga MX está muriendo y a los aficionados ya no les interesa verla - Heraldo Deportes
People are okay with mediocrity and have accepted it, when it should be the complete opposite. Fans of teams should strive for the best every season no matter how bad they did the season prior, and bad teams should also have a reason to play for, staying up! Being in the first division comes with many monetary and social benefits.

 While soccer may bring so much happiness to people in Mexico due to its spectacle and amazing stories, unfortunately many people take the game a little too seriously. There have been countless times where violence takes over people and leads to horrific tragedies. One of the most famous and most brutal tragedies happened in Queretaro, Mexico on March 5th, 2022, between the teams of Atlas and Queretaro. Mexico soccer riot: Sanctions, latest fallout after violence between Queretaro, Atlas fans in Liga MX | Sporting News. Around 15-30 people were presumed dead by the end of the fights and more than hundreds with either minor or major injuries
This hasn't been the only case of violence, and I have actually experienced one. It was Xolos vs Chivas in Tijuana, and at the end of the game there were g8unshots heard and one person was found dead, while another 10 were injured. Mexican soccer fan shot outside of a stadium in Tijuana after a Liga MX match dies | AP News. Although stricter protocols are being put in place, people are still scared of this one day happening again. 

Due to the fact that Mexican soccer is stained by its money hungry owners and the violent individuals and groups who go to the games, sometimes Liga MX can be hard to watch and enjoy. I hope this changes one day so that the beautiful game in Mexico can finally be enjoyed the way it should be.

Reading and Writing in my Life. Do I Like it?

   Do I even Know how to Read and Write?   Hey everyone, my name is Rogelio Hernandez, and I am currently a freshman at SDSU majoring in Psychology. I know that seems basic because a LOT of people are into psych, but it’s something I’ve always been interested in. I’m hoping to one day become a therapist or a counselor at a school to be able to help out others in situations I have also been in. Although psychology doesn’t really require a lot of good writing, it does require a good amount of reading, and reading has never been my strong point at times. It's something essential in our day-to-day life, and no matter where you work, you will need to read and write stuff. I have always been a decent writer to say the least, but reading is where it may get tricky, I have had many experiences with it, some good and some, well let me explain it.  The Mental Health Benefits of Reading | Psychology Today        When it comes to writing, I have always been a...

Important Beliefs, Goals and Values of Liga MX.

Image
  "Los Jovenes Mexicanos deben de ser usados", is something almost all, if not every, Liga Mx fan has said once in their time of watching the league. Young prospects are something that fans value so much in the league, as we all believe that they are the players who do deserve a chance, instead of foreigners who are not even that good, and are really overpaid. If there is something all Mexican soccer fans can agree on, is that they'd rather play with a very talented 18-year-old, who actually runs and has heart to play, than a 27-year-old who, although has experience, plays with no passion and has no right to be playing for that team. A way the league has tried to implement the usage of younger players is with the "Regla de Menores", which is a law that all teams have to follow, where it consists of needing to obtain a certain number of minutes for players younger than 23 in order to not get fined.  Liga MX: ¿Cómo funcionará y que sanción recibiran los clubes que...

Reflection

  Reflective Blog  Coming into this class, after reading the description, I felt like it was going to be similar to my AP Language and Composition class. Learning about rhetoric, writing long essays and reading various articles were some of the things I was mentally preparing myself for. I was a bit excited at first, but since I was thinking it was going to be like AP Lang, I was a bit nervous too. Oh was I wrong. It was the complete opposite and unlike AP Lang, I actually really enjoyed RWS 100. I learned new information and tactics to write even better, while also having fun doing it.  The assignments that I would engage in were very concise, yet made you elaborate and think thoroughly about what you were going to say. What I also liked a lot were the discussion boards. The reason I liked them so much was because after writing your thoughts down, you were able to read your classmates' thoughts and even get ideas from them to include in your own work.
