Famous quotes containing the words professional and/or players:

    “... all professional ideologies are high-minded. Hunters, for instance, would not dream of calling themselves the butchers of the woods.”
    —Robert Musil (1880–1942)

    “I do not like football, which I think of as a game in which two tractors approach each other from opposite directions and collide. Besides, I have contempt for a game in which players have to wear so much equipment. Men play basketball in their underwear, which seems just right to me.”
    —Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
