Boxing, for me, it's the beginning of all sports. I'm willing to bet that the first sport was a man against another man in a fight, so I think that's something innate in all of us.
man
A woman can beat any man; it's difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That's why I like chess.
I have never seen a wrestling match or a prize fight, and I don't want to. When I find out a man is interested in these sports, I drop him.
Man is to be held only by the slightest chains; with the idea that he can break them at pleasure, he submits to them in sport.
Everyone thought I was going to die like a year later, they didn't know. So I helped educate sports, and then the world, that a man living with HIV can play basketball. He's not going to give it to anybody by playing basketball.
England was merry England, when Old Christmas brought his sports again. 'Twas Christmas broach'd the mightiest ale; 'Twas Christmas told the merriest tale; A Christmas gambol oft could cheer The poor man's heart through half the year.
When you're a kid growing up, and you think you're gay, you know that you're different; you're often teased and it can really destroy your self-esteem. But sports can be great for building self-esteem.

I sort of try to write everything for me. I'm a huge sports fan but have no interest in minutiae. I don't remember who won Super Bowls five years ago or listen to sports talk radio. I'm trying to make sure the jokes are self-contained so they're accessible to everyone.
We all know that girls who compete in sports perform better in school, are physically healthier and have a stronger self-esteem.
Sports nurtures dreams of achieving self confidence and masculine striving for the skinny kid watching a boxer dance around the ring with sublime ease.

O Lord, self-renunciation is not the work of one day, nor children's sport; yea, rather in this word is included all perfection.

A lot of these angles are really about trying to mimic broadcast sports angles in order to anchor the scene, to sort of normalize it before it becomes abstracted.

Bruce Lee was an artist and, like him, I try to go beyond the fundamentals of my sport. I want the public to see a knockout in the making.

The public must come to see that chess is a violent sport. Chess is mental torture.
The reason sport is attractive to many of the general public is that it's filled with reversals. What you think may happen doesn't happen. A champion is beaten, an unknown becomes a champion.
Sports are positively essential. It is healthy to engage in sports, they are beautiful and liberal, liberal in the sense that nothing serves quite as well to integrate social classes, etc., than street or public games.

I grew up playing sports. There is a clear line between success and failure.

To win in Australia, for me, has to be the ultimate success because the Aussies live for sport.

It's not just the NFL. Every other league has a draft. It has been fundamental to the success of professional sports.
For a while I was on the cover of every Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, which was regarded as the pinnacle of success in America.
You can play a particular sport as long as you take good care of your body and you're confident enough and still have that hunger to where you want to be a part of an organization, a group of individuals where you feel you can contribute to the success of that team.

I'm delighted about the track's success in the sports world, but the frustrating thing is, I don't think I got rich on it. The labels and publishers did very cheap deals on our songs.
Anytime you play a team sport, the success of the team really makes everything better. It's nice.
I received a letter from the Reich Ministry of Sports. They want me to split from Joe Jacobs, my manager since 1928.. I really need Joe Jacobs. I owe all my success in America to him.
I'm doing a book, 'Chasing Science,' about the pleasures of science as a spectator sport.
