Question

"To inform my audience that the National Football League's video replay system should be adopted by college football in order to eliminate officiating errors" is a poor specific purpose statement for an informative speech because

Answer 1

the stated goal is persuasive rather than informative

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because the stated goal is persuasive rather than informative. By using the words "should be" you are stating that you are trying to convince them and this completely changes the goal of the message into a persuasive one. If your goal for the message was to be informative you would instead only talk about the replay system, its features, and all that it has to offer so that the viewer can know everything there is to know about the system itself. Thus becoming informed, and they can make their own decisions about whether or not to implement it later.
