Notable quotes

“To me? Flirting is just like a sport. Yes Sir.”
— Lou Bega, "Mambo No. 5" (19 April 1999), A Little Bit of Mambo (19 July 1999), New York: RCA Records.
“We can't expect it to generate the same sponsor and TV value as the men's game without first investing money to allow it to catch up commercially and in terms of quality. There's huge potential, but we can't expect female players to be Premier League standard if they're having to work part-time shifts in a coffee shop.”
— John Didulica, “Why are female athletes still paid less than males?”, Al Jazeera, (20 Jan 2018).
“It is a poor sport that is not worth the candle.”
— George Herbert, Jacula Prudentum (1651).
“Many more people in the world are concerned with sports than with human rights.”
— S.P. Huntington, The clash of civilizations and the remaking of world order (1997), by Samuel Phillips Huntington, Simon & Schuster, p. 197.
“Sports have the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire, the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sports can create hope, where there was once only despair. It is more powerful than governments in breaking down racial barriers. It laughs in the face of all types of discrimination. Sports is the game of lovers.”
— Nelson Mandela at 1995 Rugby World Cup, (24 June 1995); as qtd by Rob Hughes “Nelson Mandela Grasped the Power of Sport”, The New York Times. (June 11, 2013).
“The addiction to sports ... marks an arrested development of the man's moral nature.”
— Thorstein Veblen, The Theory of the Leisure Class (1899), Chapter 10
