Professional Football Group

Famous quotes containing the words professional, football and/or group:

“The professional celebrity, male and female, is the crowning result of the star system of a society that makes a fetish of competition.

—C. Wright Mills (1916–1962)

“... in the minds of search committees there is the lingering question: Can she manage the football coach?”
—Donna E. Shalala (b. 1941)

“For me, as a beginning novelist, all other living writers form a control group for whom the world is a placebo.”
—Nicholson Baker (b. 1957)
