I think few people of education enter politics because it seems like a contact blood sport.

Politics is a contact sport.

Sport allows people to come together, but politics divides people.

We live in a world where finding fault in others seems to be the favorite blood sport. It has long been the basis of political campaign strategy. It is the theme of much television programming across the world. It sells newspapers. Whenever we meet anyone, our first, almost unconscious reaction may be to look for imperfections.

They say politics is a contact sport, and I have to agree with that.

Sports and politics don't mix.

There is a circus around politics. But if you think it is a game, then you forget what the purpose of politics actually is.

I believe politics is a team sport. That, for awful and unfortunate reasons beyond any of our control, the American system only allows, effectively, for two teams.

I'm interested in current affairs and social policy as a whole, but I don't watch politics for sport.
