I grew up on North American sports teams as well as English soccer clubs.

Ian Astbury

I grew up in Baltimore. And yes, I am a big sports fan, especially when it comes to my local teams.

Josh Charles

I grew up a big baseball fan. I thought I knew a lot about the game, but I didn't realise that all these American Major League Baseball teams have their own private academies in the Dominican Republic to find good players and bring them over to make money for their teams.

Ryan Fleck

I've liked the Yankees since I was a kid. I grew up in Canada so I kind of identified with New York sports teams.

I grew up watching the Lakers and the Dodgers and the Rams, all local men's professional teams, and never really had any women that I grew up watching.

Julie Foudy

When I grew up, my father taught us the value of hard work. He wanted us to enjoy ourselves, but he also wanted to know what it took to be successful. He coached a lot of our sports teams growing up. We weren't very good, but we learned about hard work and enjoying life and your teammates.

Andrew Luck

I grew up there and played all the youth teams at Borussia.

Mario Gotze

When people say this isn't the America they grew up in, they're right. Nobody gets to grow old in the America they grew up in.

Sports teams, people who follow sports teams, religion, churches, work - any company, I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.

Sean Durkin

I grew up watching the great Milan teams with the Dutch players.

Hernan Crespo

I don't know that I ever bought into the "American dream." I was a child of privilege. I grew up in the '50s and it was a quiet time in America, at least on the surface and I grew up in a kind of feathery bed of privilege.

Bill Ayers

I didn't grow up in a sports household. But I certainly was definitely a fan of the Philadelphia teams, and certainly the Eagles and Sixers were the teams I was most passionate about.

Michael G. Rubin

For me, I grew up watching really good Detroit Pistons teams.

Devin Booker

I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich.

Dale Earnhardt Jr.

I was a ballplayer, but only for a limited time. I grew up playing in Wisconsin. It's a very sports-centric part of the country that I grew up in and I played a lot of sports, but baseball first and foremost. I played through high school. I was a middle-infielder.

Chad Harbach

One thing that I noticed is having met some former Taliban is even they, as children, grew up being indoctrinated. They grew up in violence. They grew up in war. They were taught to hate. They were, they grew up in very ignorant cultures where they didn't learn about the outside world.
