That you get booed belongs to professional sports.
I've been booed in Holland and in Uruguay - as a professional footballer, you need to have thick skin and just get used to it.
Did I ever get booed? I don't think I ever got booed.
It's funny, you can get over the win pretty quick and get ready for the next opponent. When you lose, it just eats at you.... What could we have done? What should I have done? All those things. Just part of playing professional sports and sports in general.
To convert college sports into professional sports would be tantamount to converting it into minor league sports. And we know that in the U.S., minor league sports aren’t very successful either for fan support or for the fan experience.
It's not a good feeling when you get booed. But I don't want to be good because somebody booed me. I want to be great player because that's the way I am.
Obviously the current approach on steroids both in professional sports and amateur sports is not working.
I always seem to get parts where I play the sports professional - and that's not me at all!
This is sports. In sports, you win and you lose. That's the nature of sports. You can't get away from that part of it. And if you get too hung up on the losing part, then you miss the boat. The competition part, a game like that, is why you play sports. That is as good as it gets.
I operated a professional football team in L.A. By no means was it the NFL, but I understand what it takes on some level to build and operate a professional sports enterprise in Los Angeles.
I've never had to make weight for any sport before. Because, get this, I was not allowed to do any sports in school because I was a professional athlete. I was doing wrestling at the age of 15, so the school districts and the board of directors said that because I was a professional athlete that I couldn't do anything.
Calzaghe and Mayweather both got booed in the early part of their careers and look where they are now. I'm used to it, though, in the Olympic final I got booed by the Cubans and the Chinese so I'm ready to deal with it, do what I do and beat what is in front of me.
I could never be a sports writer, unless my assignment was to write 'sports sports sports sports sports' for three pages.
We all sign up where you might get hurt. That's what makes this league a little bit different than any other in professional sports.
When I was a freshman and sophomore, I got booed every time I was put in the game. Then, in my junior and senior years, my dad got booed every time he took me out.
I always say, the only time you gotta worry about getting booed is when you're wearing a white uniform. And I've never been booed wearing a white uniform.
Unfortunately the world is what it is now. People don't get along for whatever reason. As professional athletes, in a way we're almost ambassadors for peace, because sports brings everyone together.
