1. I don't think there is one singular tense that is prevalent in my draft, but rather a culmination of past and present.

2. The effect the current usage has that it makes the audience feels like this is a post-controversy mortem in that is a crisis of the past in terms of events but the issue is still prevalent today in that how the league, players, and society follows this controversy is a current event issue. That is what the mixture of past and present tenses does.

3. I believe the flow is good as it is and I do not plan to change it, but perhaps adjust to maybe enhance the fluidity of the transitions.

4. I have employed present tense verbs in my piece because I believes it adds to the power and flow of the piece.
