journal entry #1

http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-05-morrisseyjan05,0,2143238.column

1. In this sports article by columnist Rick Morrissey, the claim being made is that Chicago Bulls player Joakim Noah should be kicked off the team by General Manager John Paxon.
2. This is a claim of fact. Morrissey explains why Noah is detrimental to the team by using his official statistics and personal opinion about numerous recent events that Noah had been a part of.
3. Morrissey uses the logos appeal to convince readers through logic that Joakim Noah should be kicked off of the team. The statistics he uses in the article and factual and anyone who follows basketball can use logic when reading this article to side with Morrissey's point of view.
