According to his LinkedIn, the author Grant Gordon is portrayed as a very credible and reliable source. Currently, his occupation is a digital online producer for the NFL.com. He also is the former sports editor for Times Community Newspapers North, A trio of subsidiaries for the Los Angeles times. Although Gordon has had a lot of background and practice in his profession, one thing I noticed that sparked controversy with that Gordon made a large error throughout his article. Although Gordon claims the Super Bowl was in ‘94, in which even his title even claims “These Niners look a lot like ‘94 Super Bowl Champs”, according to several online sources such as ESPN.com, state that the game Gordon is talking about did not occur until 1995; a whole year later. In 1994 the Dallas Cowboys played the Buffalo Bills at The Georgia Dome in Atlanta where Dallas took the win but unfortunately did not make it to the championship game year later. Everything Gordon claimed about the ‘94 game really did happen, the San Francisco 49ers played the San Diego Chargers where the 49ers took the win 49 to 26.
This is also where I find a large majority of the purpose of this message lays in. I believe this article‘s purpose was to shed light on the many comparisons that the San Francisco 49ers have today versus back in 1995 to give hope to many people. Whether you’re fans, just passionate about the game of football, or come from a strong family background despite really stands out leaving the reader excited and refreshed.
By attaching quotes from his professional athletes it tries to reach her hours a.m.. It makes all the facts more personable. The other exudes emotion through pathos and through credibility of his sources and quotes, logos. However, depending on who you ask, might feel his credibility was shot at the end of the title. Gordon also uses emotion by talking about the “Father-Son-Duos“ that have taken place throughout the league. Mike Shanahan Who used to be a national football league coach watches his son take a team to the Super Bowl, how full circle and rewarding is that!
Many people don’t believe in “coincidence”. I can already come up with a few ways people could attack Gordon’s argument and provide proper reasoning for. The main different team’s fans. This article means something more for San Francisco fans, faith and excitement for the future game ahead. Whereas if you are a Kansas City Chiefs fan this article means nothing to you, it might even offend you. Chiefs fans can possibly become skeptical of the national football process. People can instead of being happy for the son of Mike Shanahan, Kyle, you can hold judgment and say he got where he was because it was handed to him on a Silver Platter. They might also say that he didn’t even have to work hard enough at all and might even question his skills towards his craft. Other football team fans can just see it for its facts with not as much emotion as a 49ers fan would have. Lastly, other fans but for different reasons. The “blast from the past“ could possibly fill your mind from memories from that year back in Miami. Even if you were rooting for the losing team, to be put back into that mindset your life can be emotional for anyone.
The lifestyle and values that are presented throughout this article are hard work and determination, dedication, and family. Majority of this article is enriched with statistics as well. It shows an eager and excited point of view. It also shows a belief in miracles which is very exciting and a mindset that many NFL fans could and should use as well.
