Quote

I don't like any sport except boxing and bull fighting.

Sports is like a war without the killing.

I mean, the greatest athletes in the world are African-American.

Sports are not for everyone.

Sport is a great equalizer that can build bridges, transcend borders and cultures, and render even the fiercest conflicts temporarily irrelevant.

Sports of every sort had always appealed to me.

All sports for all people.

I don't see many people as heroes and, though I love sport, I believe athletes rarely deserve that praise.

I saw what politics did to the Olympic Games in 1980 and 1984, and I would defend the right of a sportsman to go and play and perform where they want.
