Athletes can definitely have an impact on society. And it's great that athletes can be a part of uniting the population.

Canelo Alvarez

I believe that athletes - especially female athletes in the world's leading sport for women - should serve as role models.

Venus Williams

There are complicated processes going on in society in the Crimea. There are problems of the Crimean Tatars, the Ukrainian population, the Russian population, the Slavic population in general, but this is Ukraine's domestic political problem.

We do not have an outbreak of Ebola in the United States. Nowhere. We do have two health care workers who contracted the disease from a dying man. They are isolated. There is no information to suggest that the virus has spread to anyone in the general population in America. Not one person in the general population in the United States.

The marketing of homosexuality has an agenda, and that is to repopulate their population by recruiting the children of homosexuals.

All our lives are enriched by the leadership and excellence and confidence of female athletes, whether the Mia Hamms and Maya Moores we know or the field hockey, lacrosse and track and field athletes we do not necessarily know.

Johanna Siguroardottir

Coming up as a female rapper - well, a female artist in general - everything is just so black and white.

Tink

I think the superhero platform gives the female character, you know, a relate-ability for the male audience as well. So, I think that's why people are kinda gravitating towards female super hero characters, and also female characters in general as big parts of the film.
