The America that clings to Confederate statues and flags, and that jealously guards the social privileges white Americans have long enjoyed, form the stalwarts of Trump’s base.
People know Troy Aikman as a Super Bowl-winning quarterback. That carries tremendous weight. Because he really guards against overexposure, or just saying stuff for effect. When he really says something that’s critical, people notice.

Waitresses, soldiers, rickshaw drivers, old ladies selling vegetables – my father would schmooze anybody. He was Clintonesque before the word existed. And, of course, it paid dividends. Ill-tempered guards at the most notorious border crossings waved him through with cheery smiles. Haughty maitre d’s fawned over him.
I do a better job of standing in front of the guards than I used to. I can take it to a higher level as far as reading the offenses, reading where all of our guys are, so I can get into the right position.
I didn’t spend a lot of time with prison guards, but my father was an assistant district attorney for a long time so I was always hearing stories about prisoners and prison guards.

I lived near the border with China, and one night, I simply left home and walked across the iced-over river that separated the two countries. I was fortunate that my family had close relationships with some of the border guards, so I was able to cross without incident.

Some of those 10, nine-year vets, they know some things that your typical college senior wouldn’t. I’ve come across some guards in the NFL that know how to use their hands better than D-linemen in college. I guess they’ve learned from their enemies.
It’s fine to have armed guards, but don’t then tell everyone else they can’t own a gun.
I remember watching an episode of ‘Seinfeld’ in which George can’t understand why security guards can’t sit down. He gets obsessed with it and eventually buys a chair for a security guard who sits down and goes to sleep. The shop gets robbed. That’s a brilliant extrapolation of what is essentially observational comedy.
I think people let their guards down when they think that they’re not being intimidated or they’re not being threatened.
Too many of my heroes have been cut down, but do I want security guards? No. I’ve been offered them in the past. But the more you present yourself as someone afraid of being attacked, the more people see you as someone to attack.

I can’t even go to the mall anymore. I have to bring 17 security guards… or it feels like it.
The prison system in Norway is fairly civilized, by world standards, and so are the prisoners and the guards.
Our surest protection against assault from abroad has been not all our guards, gates and guns, or even our two oceans, but our essential goodness as a people. Our richest asset has been not our material wealth but our values.
Our bigs do a lot for us guards to get us shots, to get us shots, to get us open buckets, that they deserve the praise.
How many guards are doing what I’m doing guarding 1 through 5? How many bigs are guarding 1s the way I’m guarding 5s?
It was dripping and, you know, and there was a whole line of cameras and microphones. I felt like – you remember the honor guards, only it was a dishonor guard.
Just hearing somebody’s voice in center field, it helps our guards out to know where they need to go, when the screen is coming, when the back door is coming, when the flare is coming. When different things like that happen and we’re talking, it helps us all out in the long run.
Most guards and forwards don’t really know how to play with their back to the hoop. It’s more and more an outside game.
The walls, the bars, the guns and the guards can never encircle or hold down the idea of the people.
We’re looking at the court as X’s and O’s and plays that can happen, two three steps ahead of time. That’s what the best point guards do. As you grow into a point guard that’s what you learn, and eventually, you tend to grasp that.
When you open up the court, now the point guards can see, they can score, and they’re not afraid to take shots. Before it was like, ‘No, don’t take that shot. That’s a bad shot. Pound it inside. Pound it inside.’ And the philosophy has gone a little bit away from that, because it makes sense to do it the other way.
When a black man is stopped by a cop for no apparent reason, that is covert racism. When a black woman shops in a fancy store and is followed by security guards, that is covert racism. It is more subtle than 1960s racism, but it is still racism.

I mean I constantly had security guards around me when I was younger and I wasn’t allowed to go to the mall with a lot of my friends and stuff like that. And so, when I finally was able to sneak out, I would just really, really take it to the next level.
I try to exploit things against everybody; that’s part of the game: beat the guy that guards me while you’re beating their team.
I think a lot of L.A. is something like USC – this incredible white culture living in the midst of color, and no obvious reaction to it at all. I mean, they have guards at the gate at USC – guards at the gate of a major university! And the guards chase young black boys away – I’ve seen it, chasing 8-year-old boys.
