Sport can bring communities together and can release a lot of pent-up emotions.

We've seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they're great images for the city to gravitate toward, especially for kids.

I've been on enough sports teams in my life to have experienced the magic of what can happen when a group of people care for and love each other.

In sports teams, apart from talk of sporting prowess and the imparting of inspirational thought, an extraordinary amount of time is spent discussing, and flaunting, material possessions.

The great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.

Even if you've been involved in a World Cup, the Olympics is huge. Only the Games has the power to change communities.

Sport fosters many things that are good; teamwork and leadership.

Athletic competition clearly defines the unique power of our attitude.

One thing that we've invested a lot of in, that we all live by, is the power of the commissioner.

I think sports are meant to unite people.
