Famous quotes containing the words american and/or football:

    “Nobody will ever deprive the American people of the right to vote except the American people themselves—and the only way they could do this is by not voting.”
    —Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)

    “People stress the violence. That’s the smallest part of it. Football is brutal only from a distance. In the middle of it there’s a calm, a tranquility. The players accept pain. There’s a sense of order even at the end of a running play with bodies stewn everywhere. When the systems interlock, there’s a satisfaction to the game that can’t be duplicated. There’s a harmony.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)
