Politics is a blood sport.

Politics is a contact sport.

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

Absolutely. I think that this is - politics is a tough business. I describe it as a full contact sport. You have to be prepared to get in there and mix it up.

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

I love this sport and I don't want to get involved in politics.

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

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.

I'm not into sports, and politics is kind of my sport. I love talking about it and debating it and getting into it. I also think people on both sides of the aisle have real exaggerated, incorrect views of the other side, and that is fascinating to me.

You cannot mix sports with politics.
