My dad had this thing - everyone in Canada wants to play hockey; that's all they want to do. So when I was a kid, whenever we skated my dad would not let us on the ice without hockey sticks, because of this insane fear we would become figure skaters! - Norm MacDonald 1 Share Now -
I don't like sports where it's like, you watch a guy on a motorcycle flip or something, then another guy does it, it looks exactly the same, and then at the end one guy gets higher points! It seems so arbitrary; I don't know who's ahead ever. - Norm MacDonald 2 Share Now -
It got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude. - Norm MacDonald 3 Share Now -
Compared to politics, I think sports is funnier, because it's inconsequential. And politics can be real important and all that. The more pointless something is, the funnier it is, you know? - Norm MacDonald 4 Share Now -
I watch political shows for a number of weeks in a row, and all I see are guys arguing with each other over issues I have no idea about. My brother, he loves war-torn places. My dad would always read the paper and tell me I should watch CNN, but I usually wind up watching 'Breaking Bad.' - Norm MacDonald 5 Share Now -

In math, you could get 100 percent. It was very fair. That's what I liked about math. You could figure it out, and the teacher couldn't have a stupid opinion about it. - Norm MacDonald 8 Share Now -
I don't really like politics that much. And I like the order and simplicity of sports. They have an ending. You can argue with your friends about it, but in the end you still like sports. I almost love the fantasy world of sports more than the real world. - Norm MacDonald 9 Share Now -

And the more grave or important things are... You know, some comedians can get this disease where they get serious all the time. - Norm MacDonald 10 Share Now -
