Quotations regarding 'Sports'

Choose a letter: 
I'm delighted about the track's success in the sports world, but the frustrating thing is, I don't think I got rich on it. The labels and publishers did very cheap deals on our songs.
Alan Parsons, British Musician (1948-  )
I think I was a good student, because I jumped over a school. My main interest was basically history and literature. Sports were basically basketball and swimming at a pool. I was so happy.
Shimon Peres, Israeli Statesman (1923-  )
They wanted me to play more sports because they were acutely sensitive to their children being one hundred percent American, and they believed that all Americans played sports and loved sports.
Martin Lewis Perl, American Physicist (1927-  )
If I stayed a football player, my career would have been over 20 years ago. As it is, my knees are shot. I found I got the same good feeling in acting that I had in sports, but I found I could have a more profound impact on people.
William Petersen, American Actor (1953-  )
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.
Mike Piazza, American Athlete (1968-  )
I couldn't find the sports car of my dreams, so I built it myself.
Ferdinand Porsche, Austrian Designer (1875-1951)
Sport is a wonderful metaphor for life. Of all the sports that I played - skiing, baseball, fishing - there is no greater example than golf, because you're playing against yourself and nature.
Robert Redford, American Actor (1937-  )
I don't want to have to say, Honey, you know, could you turn off the sports channel because I'm not a big sports fan, and I don't love the television being on just for the sake of turning on. I'd like turning on for some thing specific.
Lynn Redgrave, British Actress (1943-2010)
Companies that support sports developmental programs in our communities should also be applauded.
Mary Lou Retton, American Athlete (1968-  )
We're a crazy country about sports, but for the longest time, only followed our own sports.
Claudio Reyna, American Athlete (1973-  )
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, American Athlete (1973-  )
EA SPORTS has a strong partnership with adidas and through this relationship they approached adidas about using some of their top players from around the world.
Claudio Reyna, American Athlete (1973-  )
The plays and sports of children are as salutary to them as labor and work are to grown persons.
Samuel Richardson, English Novelist (1689-1761)
Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports, and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.
Branch Rickey, American Athlete (1881-1965)
I was a sports fan, but I also went to peace marches.
Tim Robbins, Actor (1958-  )
Through the years I have received my share of recognition for efforts in the fields of sports, the arts, the struggle for full citizenship for the Negro people, labor's rights and the fight for peace.
Paul Robeson, American Actor (1898-1976)
Black people dominate sports in the United States. 20% of the population and 90% of the final four.
Chris Rock, Comedian (1966-  )
There is so much hypocrisy in sports.
Dennis Rodman, American Athlete (1961-  )
I'm nothing more than a sports slave.
Dennis Rodman, American Athlete (1961-  )
Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not, the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.
James E. Rogers, American Educator
