Classwork, 4.12.11

In-class writing:

Consider the following arguable claim: All college and professional athletes should be drug tested at random throughout their careers to deter them from doping and thus to preserve the purity of competition for all players and fans.

o First, agree with this claim. Be as sympathetic to it as you can. Free-write for several minutes to brainstorm as many reasons as you can why this claim makes sense (consider financial, social, physiological, and other aspects of the issue).

o Now, disagree with the claim. Think of as many reasons as you can that this claim does not make sense or would not work.
