During free practice, the Jordan of the new Formula 1 star, Rubens Barrichello, crashed at a speed close to 150 miles per hour, slamming headfirst into a wall of tires. The driver was knocked unconscious and transported to a hospital, where Senna, his countryman, was the first person Rubens saw when he came to.

Throughout the movie, Jesus (William Defoe) reacts in aggressive ways to the programmed society that surrounded him and that goes against the grain of what society teaches us today. The episode, while on the cross, where he is brought together with Mary Magdalene was something that could have been in the mind of anyone or anything (as you prefer) given the circumstances.

Lambeau Field itself seems small, and it is hard not to immediately focus on the eight powder blue light standards which line its sides, towering overhead. The facade of the stadium appears to have been constructed of a forest green sheet metal - a wonderfully simplistic look in an age of high-tech everything. Just seeing the inside of Lambeau Field is certainly warranted. Once inside, the stench of history and greatness is like that of a freshly baked apple pie cooling in a kit ...

(Widenhaus, Kevin. 1995) But biases are still prevalent in women's sports today such as women's basketball. One of the major areas of such biases are in the salaries of the women in the WNBA and the men in the NBA.
