“Sport, as wonderful as it is, is really a minor concern for everybody nowadays. I think the health of the people around us, the communities, the world. This is something that the whole world is participating in.”

“If these events do not happen, I think personally that would be tough, but I think it’s something that you could get over pretty quickly when you put it in context with everything else that’s going on and everything else that needs to happen.”
