media type="custom" key="25158250" The purpose of this speech was to inform the players that we have fought the battle of racism for many years and to get over the fact that people are two different colors. The coach is trying to tell the team that they will never be successful if they don't work together. The football team. Coach Boone shows ethos, pathos, and logos in his speech to the players. Boone shows ethos which mean that the speaker has credibility and knows first hand what he is talking about. Coach Boone has been through the racism fight himself for many years because he is black and he knows how they get treated. Pathos is because it means emotion, and Boone uses this by saying that people have fought and died fighting for equality and that their still fighting for it today. Logos is more logics and facts, and since Coach Boone actually took them to where the Gettysburg battle was actually fought that states history and facts. Yes the argument was very effective and right on point. Boone made very good points and fought his argument well. There weren't any logical fallacies used. In my opinion the argument was plenty strong and Boone hit all the strong points. The only thing he could improve would be to emphasis on becoming one team instead of being divided into a black and white team. Boone could've also emphasized more on that the team won't be successful if they don't come together and work as a team
