The first article I read was "High School Foottball Has Highest Severe Injury Rate," published on http://www.momstream.com/. The site is directed towards parents who are worried or want to learn more about their child's favorite sports.
The author, Lindsay Barton aims to persuade the reader that high school injuries have the highest severe injury rate. Because the source is aimed towards parents, the article had no conflicting evidence and was very bias. Throughout the article Barton stops to give facts about football injuries, none conflicting her viewpoint.
Barton uses all three techniques of persuasion, passing the common sense guess, which made her sound like a reliable source, given she knows her stuff.
It's clear that the author leans to one side, her viewpoint is that high school football has highest severe injury rate. Barton concludes her article sating "New research confirms that high school football players are at the highest risk of severe injury, accounting for amost 4 in 10 of the injuries reported in the 9 sports studied," confirming that she feels stongly about the topic.
