When money comes into play then that's all it's about wanting money, who's making the most who can get the most, me, me me... and in the end it screws up the person and the sport.
Alexis Arguello

I was very pleased that the positive things about me and my game outshone the aggressive style of play I use. I would never tone that down, because I believe in that style of play, and I believe that you can play rough on the court and still be a good sport.
Sue Wicks

In response to the challenge of strangers, sport arose as a sublimated representation of a community's armed might as well as its pride of place and clan.
John Thorn

Politics is a blood sport.
Aneurin Bevan

The sport would not survive today if drivers were being killed at the rate they were in the 1960s and '70s. It would have been taken off the air. It is beamed into people's living rooms on Sunday afternoons, with children watching.
Damon Hill

I think sport in general affects what people see in movies. I always try to explain to people in Hollywood that we have to make movies more like sport because, in sport, everything can happen and it's so much better than movies in some ways.
Roland Emmerich

The only sport I'm not interested in is horse racing. That's because I don't know the horses personally.
Nat King Cole

Wild animals never kill for sport. Man is the only one to whom the torture and death of his fellow creatures is amusing in itself.
James Anthony Froude

I walked away from the sport for 17 years, then started swimming again recently in a master's program.
Mark Spitz

Technique is everything and we play a contact sport.
Troy Vincent

Obviously we will talk about doing everything we can to make our sport as safe as possible.
Troy Vincent

You had to be into sport and, sad to say, I'm a traitor to my country because I don't have a sporting bone in my body.
Geoffrey Rush

There is nothing more exciting in sport when the top two countries in the world are battling for the Ashes.
Ian Botham

Once you have selected a sport or a creative activity, the rules are pretty much the same.
Bill Toomey

Here were these college kids beating the Soviets and going on to the Olympic Gold Medal. To me, that's the greatest upset of all time in any sport that I can think of.
Jim McKay

It's the only sport that's played in every country in the world. It's played and watched all over the world, it's the most popular sport in probably 90% of the countries, and then with the World Cup, you have the most viewed tournament of any sport in the world.
Claudio Reyna

My father thought sport was something fun - he didn't know it was a way to make money. Then I won a Mercedes at the world championships and I gave it to him. From the moment it arrived my father said: 'Good, you can support not just yourself but me too'.
Haile Gebrselassie

Tennis is a psychological sport, you have to keep a clear head. That is why I stopped playing.
Boris Becker

Success comprises in itself the seeds of its own decline and sport is not spared by this law.
Pierre de Coubertin

So nonetheless given the importance that was placed on sport in Australia, I wanted to be part of that scene, particularly since I had felt very strongly in my early schooling being marginalised even in the Catholic school.
