Quite simply the Games are the biggest opportunity sport in this country has ever had. It is one that we must not squander.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Sports are a microcosm of society.
The source of wealth is from individuals with little or no history of interest in the game, who have happened upon football as a means of serving some hidden agenda.
I'm not claiming that football is the nation's salvation in this area, but it's one of them, one little thing that apparently has captured the imagination of a large sector of our society. But when football can't be a relatively pure outlet, a fun thing, then it hurts itself.
I mean, sports are big, big, big business.
The world is filled with great sporting events.
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.
Sport allows us to engage in dialogue and to build bridges, and it may even have the capacity to reshape international relations. The Olympic Games embody perfectly this universal mission.
Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence.
Winning isn't everything, but playing and competing and striving and going through things can be a lot of fun and really important. As long as you're doing it in a way that's healthy, sports can be an incredible opportunity.
Sports are one of the main cultural activities on the face of the earth.
