Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don't want to name.

In army, I went to Kashmir and did well, which was a challenge. In sports, I went to Olympics at a time when no one believed that we can actually win. Coming into politics was also a challenge as I wanted to push the youth to achieve gold in various fields of life.
— Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore
I think badminton has a real legacy with more youngsters taking up the sport. Badminton has done really well in that regard compared to other sports.
— Rajiv Ouseph
River is a fantastic club that goes beyond just football. They offer so many sports and activities within the club. There are schools for young players, and its DNA can be identified by every other club in Argentina.
— Radamel Falcao
I’m a sports idiot - watching it, playing it, making conversation about it - I got nothing.
— Rachel Parris
I think a big part of our attraction to sport movies are the stories contained within the sports.
— Rachel Griffiths
The biggest danger to the movement is that it is getting too big in sheer weight of numbers. Other sports will become more popular in terms of numbers, and everyone will want to be involved in the Olympics.

All sports must be treated on the basis of equality.
— Pierre de Coubertin
'Sports Illustrated' has set the standard for what a swimsuit model should be. For a magazine that has that much influence to include models of different body types on their pages shows that they're breaking down old beauty ideals while opening the doors of diversity and inclusivity.
— Philomena Kwao
Football is one of the most popular sports in the country, and there are many reasons for this. You can take so much from football and apply it to life in general. Just some of those things are goal-setting, preparation, teamwork, perseverance and discipline.
— Philip Rivers
I think it would be a great honor to get another Super Bowl, but not just limited to that. Other events, sporting or otherwise, I think New Jersey has an enormous opportunity given our location and our natural resources, our passion generally and specifically for sports, I think we're a natural.
— Phil Murphy
I mean, sports are big, big, big business.
— Phil Lesh

— Phil Knight
I cherished my time playing high school sports.
— Peyton Manning
Young Petr Cech was sports mad, football mad.
— Petr Cech
Baseball is a public trust. Players turn over, owners turn over and certain commissioners turn over. But baseball goes on.
— Peter Ueberroth
All the minor sports injuries you acquire over the years begin to multiply like flies when you get over 70.
— Peter O'Toole
I played college basketball in West Virginia for two years, and then I graduated from NYU with a sports management degree because I realized the NBA's not going to happen.
— Ramon Rodriguez
I'm obviously very grateful to play for a sports organization like the Boston Celtics.
— Rajon Rondo
I've always wanted to be in journalism. I even started a course at Loughborough doing media studies. I like all sports, and I am keen on writing. But I thought that while I was still young, I ought to make a real go of it at badminton. So I have put all my focus on playing sport instead of writing about it.
I never really hated any particular sport but out of all the sports, I used to prefer the team games to running and sprinting and those types of things.
— Rachel Stevens
I will openly admit that I've never really followed hockey. Given my New England upbringing, I have always adhered to the Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox, Bruins mantra of professional sports fandom, but hockey was definitely the lowest sport on the totem pole - even when the Bruins won the Stanley Cup.
— Rachel Nichols
I know many sports fans that don't enjoy soccer. The argument is that there's no action, not enough of it.
— Rabih Alameddine
I just stumbled into acting; my first choice indeed was music and sports.
— Prateik Babbar
Every high school I went to, I joined in the middle of the year, so sports helped. But you see a lot of bullies when you move to eight states, I'll say that.
— Pierce Brown
As a woman of color and curve model, I never imagined when I started modeling that I would be featured in the pages of 'Sports Illustrated.'
Sport crosses party lines and ethnic lines. It occupies a greater realm, and it's all the more disappointing when sports figures turn out to be like everyone else.
— Philip Kerr
I think you can find a good, happy balance between being a great research university as Rutgers is and being a high-quality sports program.
If you're trying to get into the sports business, you really have to find a niche.
Approach the game with no preset agendas and you'll probably come away surprised at your overall efforts.
— Phil Jackson
I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.
I grew up in New Bedford, Massachusetts, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. I've probably been to Fenway 40 times. I've been pretty lucky as a sports fan because the Patriots have won Super Bowls and the Red Sox have won World Series during my lifetime.
— Peter Uihlein
The integrity of the game is everything.
If in sports you have a life cycle for 10 or 15 years, in fashion, you have no cycle; you're in it forever as long as you stay healthy. And I want to be in it forever.
— Peter Nygard
My symbol was always a polo player because I liked sports, and polo has a stylishness to it.
— Ralph Lauren
If I'd had the chance, I'd like to have completed my degree before going full-time, and sports journalism was something that always interested me. Dad used to buy a paper, and I always turned straight to the sports pages.
I like a lot of sports. Especially football - it's my favourite sport. My uncle played football in Barcelona for nine years and played for Spain in three World Cups.
— Rafael Nadal
I love playing sports. I'm overly eager and aggressive and not very skilled, so it leads to many small injuries.
— Rachel Platten
I sort of always had an inkling towards some kind of an art form. I grew up in a very small town, and I just figure-skated. My dad played hockey and I was surrounded by sports, but it wasn't quite doing it for me. I wasn't totally fulfilled, and I did a lot of skating.
— Rachel McAdams
The sickle-cell got me where doctors said I couldn't play sports, I couldn't overexert myself.
— Prodigy
All sports for all people.
I think girls have a harder time than guys do if you're switching schools. Guys don't get picked on as long as you're OK in sports.
When I finally discovered the 'Sports Illustrated' swimsuit issue, I browsed through archives and saw a picture of an incredibly stunning model, Damaris Lewis. Her images inspired me, and I imagined being in the magazine myself. Never in a million years did I dream it would actually happen.
Talk radio has almost ruined the sports fan.
— Phil Simms
Listen: I love sports and my family loves sports.
Meeting sports athletes that are the best in the world is a thrill to this day.
If you meet the Buddha in the lane, feed him the ball.
My dad told us up front, 'Guys, if you want to play sports, go ahead, but it's your decision.'
Other sports play once a week but this sport is with us every day.
Ease is something that I think many admire in other people, in sports or whatever it may be.
— Peter Riegert
