I love sports, and I’m a hugely competitive person.
I keep getting these extraordinary letteres, really weird ones from American sports stars – I’ve always thought you were one pretty lady and now that you’re single I want to meet you for a drink.
I’ve got four brothers, so with them and all our friends we had these sports parties in the basement. We’d play basketball, mini-sticks, baseball in the backyard, football, whatever it was. We were busy 24/7.
Daily fantasy sports is neither victimless nor harmless, and it is clear that DraftKings and FanDuel are the leaders of a massive, multi-billion-dollar scheme intended to evade the law and fleece sports fans across the country.
One of the things in the back of my mind is that, after my sports experience, I never want to be, totally consumed by any one endeavor, other than my family life.
I’ve paid the price over the years, though: a lot of injuries and surgeries related to my sports career; my hips and knees took a lot of wear and tear.
I just love baseball; it’s one of my favorite sports.
I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the game purely for the game and the players.
I think sports are a wonderful diversion. People can relate to sports very easily. It’s a quick study.
I’m not really a huge team player guy; I wasn’t really into sports or anything.
I won’t have any competitive instincts in any sports, other than golf. I can’t see being competitive in sports any more.
I’d just like to be good at sports. I’m extremely competitive with absolutely nothing to back it up.
I think what’s going to happen with linear television is it’s going to become more linear. It’s going to become more about events and more about award shows, live sports – all those things that, really, you can’t replicate.
Boxing, for me, it’s the beginning of all sports. I’m willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that’s something innate in all of us.
I’ve been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.
In sports… you play from the time you’re eight years old, and then you’re done forever.
Homophobia in male sports is much stronger than in women’s sports; the locker room environment is a lot different. It’s going to be much more of a brave step, an earthshaking move, for a gay male athlete to come out.
I’m a sports fan. I’m not just an athlete who plays football.
I’m a sports guy. Football, God, I flip out.
Global sports tournaments have a range of benefits that go far beyond the games themselves. They can transform the image of a country or a region. They bring people together and reveal new possibilities to a nation’s youth.
I was never a troublemaker, but I also was never a nerdy kid. I was never a cool kid or a sports kid. At lunchtimes, I never fit in with any cliques, so I’d end up just walking around the school by myself, listening to music.
As a woman of color and curve model, I never imagined when I started modeling that I would be featured in the pages of ‘Sports Illustrated.’
Baseball was the darling of all sports back then.
My favorite sports movies, I like ‘Remember the Titans’ and ‘Hoosiers’ Jimmy Chitwood, from the corner.
I started writing stories in sixth grade. But writing wasn’t cool, like being good at sports, or being part of the in crowd, or winning fights on the playground.
