There is dirty politics in sports federations.
President Trump wouldn't stick to politics, so he got to jump into sports. So I feel very comfortable now, moving forward, jumping back and forth. Sports to politics, politics to sports.
There is this concept of politics as a dirty game. It's a difficult game, but it doesn't have to be dirty. I think this is what we need to bring to politics. I think politics around the world has very often been captured by big interests - 'lobbies' they call them in the States.
Sports federations must try to be professional in trying to market their sport.
Politics and sports are the same thing in some ways. I like sports; I don't like the sports aspect of politics. The conventions are basically the playoffs, and the election's the Super Bowl. To me, it doesn't feel important.
Most sports federations, corporations, and governments don't change voluntarily. Change is brought by the disenfranchised demanding better.
Politics is dirty, and I don't like to talk about dirty things... My conscience is clear.
For too long now, cricket has got all the attention and money. Look at how much financial help cricket gets from the sports federations.
Politics is a dirty business, but if you do not do politics, politics will be done to you.
In sports, I was representing my country, but in politics I represent people directly. I have always lived with a cause. In army, it was the existence of the sanctity of nation and the men I was commanding, and in sports, it was the pride of my country, while in politics, it is the rights of citizens I am fighting for.
We cannot put cinema in parallel with the political, because politics are something dirty and cinema is not dirty.
I think I'd probably shine really well in a team sport, but as everybody knows, I don't handle politics very well. A lot of team sports has a lot of politics. Individual sports, it's all about me.
When I think about political races, and certain consultants, the word that comes to mind is dirty. Dirty, dirty, DIRTY!
Politics is dirty. Politics is exciting. Politics is often very, very difficult and disappointing. And I really would rather the world would be a little more like it was when my dad was young, where you knew pretty much where people stood on the great moral issues.
Of course sports and politics intersect, and those conversations belong, more than anywhere else, on a network devoted to sports.
I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world.
I could never be a sports writer, unless my assignment was to write 'sports sports sports sports sports' for three pages.
