“I do appreciate a woman who has a passion for sports and knows their stuff.”

“All sports must be treated on the basis of equality.”

“By the time I was 8 years old, sports had pretty much taken over my life.”

“All sports for all people.”

“I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.”

“I've been involved with sports my whole life, which made clothes and makeup and handbags not that important as a kid. I just didn't care.”

“It was actually drumming that gave me the stamina to get into sports later.”

“I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.”

“Academics often discount the value of top-rated sports programs in helping to develop a campus life and in contributing to the overall success of a college or university. Like it or not, the sports programs a college or university has are the front page of that university.”
