"Being part of a football team is no different than
being part of any other organisation - an army, or
a political party. The objective is to win, to beat the
other guys. You think that is hard or cruel? I don't
think it is. I do think it is a reality of life that men
are competitive, and the more competitive the
business, the more competitive the men. They
know the rules, and they know the objective, and
they get in the game. And the objective is to win -
fairly, squarely, decently, by the rules, but to win."
Games are fun only because there are referees and there are rules to follow.
Just imagine, football without rules would be an athletic riot.
Our Stock Exchange without rules would be an entrepreneurial riot.
The unfortunate thing is this is not so in politics. I have no objection whatsoever that our leaders can try to win the hearts of the people if they can play by the rules.
