The newspapers loved pinup pictures of pretty young swimmers and as a national champion I got more than my share of space in the sports pages.

Ethnic prejudice has no place in sports and baseball must recognize that truth if it is to maintain stature as a national game.

I don't think there's anything that is a greater area of discrimination against women today than the fact that nowhere in the world is there a female role model in team sports that more than half of a general audience would recognize.

We live in a world where sports have the potential to bridge the gap between racism sexism and discrimination. The 2012 Olympic Games was a great start but hopefully what these games taught us is that if women are given an opportunity on an equal playing field the possibilities for women are endless.

Amateurism is the strongest form of discrimination in sports. Because it discriminates against the underprivileged it discriminates against the poor. If we want sports to go back to the wealthy let's make it amateur again.

I have zero interest in sports of any kind - professional college or international.

Tennis is a perfect combination of violent action taking place in an atmosphere of total tranquillity.

Gold medals aren't really made of gold. They're made of sweat determination and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.

When women make their image about youth and sexuality and not about intellect that's kind of a dead-end road. So I think it's a combination of self-entrapment and entrapment by society.

A new sense of shared international responsibility is unmistakable in the voices of the United Nations and its agencies and in the civil society of thousands of supra-national NGOs.

The Holocaust also shows us how a combination of events and attitudes can erode a society's democratic values.

There is only one way left to escape the alienation of present day society: to retreat ahead of it.

What is the damnation of hell? To go with that society who have not obeyed His commands.

I for one would think both about how far we have come as a country and how much further we need to go to erase racism and discrimination from our society.

Every genuine boy is a rebel and an anarch. If he were allowed to develop according to his own instincts his own inclinations society would undergo such a radical transformation as to make the adult revolutionary cower and cringe.

I applaud the American Cancer Society for all they do to eradicate smoking. Their local state and national efforts help to discourage young people from taking up this deadly habit and the resources they provide have helped numerous smokers quit.

The right combination is between a free economy and social policy that addresses the needs of society and creates equal opportunity.
