Persuasive speech topic: Fixing the Commisions controlling combat sports (need help)

[manchoman]

I could use your imput guys.

My intro to public speaking class (I'm a freshman at college) asks us for a persuasive speech to enact some kind of law or fix some part of the government (local, state, fed). There is three parts: what is wrong with the system, a solution, and how to enact a solution.

I've seen enough incompetent judges, rediculous rules, hefty fines/taxes, etc. to grow a dislike for not only the NSAC, but the one of my home state of Texas. I was wondering if you could give me some help of how exactly it all works (I've been around long enough to see the basics regarding MMA, but not much about the commissions in general), and what a good solution could be.

Thanks.

Check out the websites for the individual states' athletic commissions (google). You'll probably find a lot of information (legal guidelines, anyway) right there. Don't hesitate to request an interview with a commission representative, as well. Some states are awfully accommodating when it comes to student/research requests.

thanks, anyone else?
