A Quote by Parminder Nagra

And of course in America you've got American football and baseball and all those other ball games, soccer has become a little niche that the women have kind of filled.

Baseball and football are very different games. In a way, both of them are easy. Football is easy if you're crazy as hell. Baseball is easy if you've got patience. They'd both be easier for me if I were a little more crazy - and a little more patient.

Bo Jackson

American leagues - baseball, ice hockey, American football and basketball - you are the best. But in a global sport like soccer, you're not.

Bastian Schweinsteiger

I started out as a camera operator. I was doing news, and I was doing sports - baseball games and football games. And I was acutely aware of women not really being in those roles then.

Kathleen Kennedy

Kids in Africa start kicking a ball when they are six or seven years old, if not younger. It's like baseball, basketball and football in America. If you're talented, people will find you. That's what happened with soccer. The number of academies has grown rapidly, and people are really into it.

Masai Ujiri

Baseball is the greatest of American games. Some say football, but it is my firm belief, and it shall always be, that baseball has no superior.

Thomas A. Edison

I used to go to my kids' soccer games and I was the only parent who wasn't screaming, because I'd have to do a show that night. It was hard. Moms and dads get more emotional at those soccer and Little League games than at a professional game.

Neil Diamond

I know American football. I know a little bit about soccer. I know baseball, I know basketball. But, rugby is a foreign language.

Morgan Freeman

At Sunderland, our kit was five times too big, and we got the local bus to games; in America, I got bags of Nike kit, flew to away games, and played in front of thousands of fans. It opened my eyes to what women's football could - and should - be.

Lucy Bronze

I think we have our sports within our own culture that are huge with baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. Those are the sports in America that we grow up with and soccer isn't really there yet.

Claudio Reyna

We played a lot of sandlot ball, so we were used to tackling each other, or falling on the concrete, things of that nature. And nine times out of 10, our flag games turned into tackle anyway. So when I got to high school, tackle football was kind of natural.

Nick Ferguson

American football seems to resemble soccer in that one scores by putting the ball through the opponent's goal; but football, truly is about land. The Settlers want to move the line of scrimmage Westward, the Native Americans want to move it East.

David Mamet

This is America, man. To not have football would be un-American. It's part of our society, like soccer in Brazil.

Terrell Suggs

When I am playing baseball, I give it all that I have on the ball field. When the ball game is over, I certainly don't take it home. My little girl who is sitting out there wouldn't know the difference between a third strike and a foul ball. We don't talk about baseball at home.

Jackie Robinson

When people say 'American soccer,' they think of the U.S. national team. But American soccer also includes Major League Soccer, and until we have a league that produces players at the rate other leagues around the world do, I don't believe we'll ever get to where we want to be.

Landon Donovan

I've been going to soccer games since I was a kid. For me, soccer brought people together. You didn't need money to do it. You needed one ball and your friends. That's what's so amazing about the game and why it's so global.
