The great thing about America, what I've loved about it, is how sports-friendly it is. In America, sports are respected and loved.

That's the biggest shame there is, that L.A. doesn't have a team. I was a big fan of the L.A. Rams, and when they left, I lost interest. Then there was the Raiders, and they left. How they can't have a football team in the biggest market in the world is beyond me.

America has the best athletic programs. Even when the Soviet Union existed, that was Mickey Mouse compared to the U.S.
