The cardinal sin in sports, what could really wreck it, is not cheating to win, which has gone on forever, but cheating to lose. That threatens a fundamental aspect of sports’ appeal, which is their spontaneity. If games are fixed, they’re no different from movies; they’re scripted.
I would say ‘The Big Narstie Show’ is the United Colours of Benetton; it’s for everyone. But I would definitely say that it has a black appeal, because that’s what I am.
I’ve seen my family watch TV every day, and they develop a liking for various characters more and more with time. So, I think TV does bring a celeb closer to his fans. I feel I have come closer to people without losing my raw appeal.
There was such mass appeal for ‘Sharknado.’ It went over so well – not just here in the United States but globally – that it would be such a missed opportunity and a ripoff for the fans not to bring ‘Sharknado’ back.
Because when we look at the modern civil rights movement under the leadership of my father and the team that he developed, it was at the federal level that we were able to appeal to bring about justice, whether it was in relationship to voting rights – just a number of issues.
There’s a whole set of values, spawned by the vocal and highly visible Republicans, that appeal to the worst in people. Our society is moving in that direction.
Contrary to the royal and uptight image of polo, I want to bring it to a younger generation. This is a great sport that can have a larger audience and appeal to more people. Sportsmanship is lacking in many other sports that I don’t want to name.
There is precious little in civilization to appeal to a Yeti.
The broadcast networks – they are literally broad. They try to appeal to everyone. They try to reach all of America, all the time. Increasingly, they fail to do that, but they try.
The Situation has mass appeal.
Many smart folks seem to think that if you just get your metaphors and messages right, you’ll win. That if you start describing what you favor as a ‘moral value’ – ‘affordable health care is a moral value’ etc., – then you’ll appeal to red-state voters.
I think, in music, you’re always hoping that you’ll have a like-minded audience and that the music you like making will appeal to them, too.
Television provokes strong opinions, and sometimes we try a bit too hard to appeal to everyone.
I appeal to people all across the political spectrum.
We appeal to Conservatives who just can’t see themselves voting for the corruption and the scandals and the contempt of parliamentary institutions. And of course, we also appeal to people in other parties who are disappointed in their own leadership.
The appeal of Wii to nongamers has taken away some of the seasonality of sales we’ve come to expect in the past.

NBA games are exciting to watch and have global appeal. They are very popular in China. I do watch NBA games on television when I have time.
Socialism appeals to better classes and has far more strength. Attack the state and you excite feelings of loyalty even among the disaffected classes; but attack the industrial system and appeal to the state, and you may have loyalty in your favor.
The implication that everyone would have to accept its judgments uncritically, that it was a decision from which there could be no appeal, was astonishing.
For us to dial back a little bit and have a little more straightforward, singalong appeal was a challenge. In order to do that, we had to throw away a lot of stuff.
Valentine’s day has been reduced to a marketing gimmick. Buying diamonds for your beloved has no appeal for me.
I’m thrilled that country music fans like my stuff, but so do a lot of people outside of country music, people who just love music. My goal is more to reach music lovers than to appeal to a genre. I love country music, and I’m proud to represent it, but I don’t obsess over it as a category.
People approach you for the work they have seen you do. I don’t think people see me as a lover boy dancing around, so I haven’t received a role of that kind. I’m going to do roles that appeal to me.
I appeal to the responsibility of the blocs and the major powers, not to seek security in the arms race, but rather in a meeting for joint disarmament and arms limitations.
I would say that I’m more than just a teeny-bopper artist… that my music can appeal to people of all ages.
It’s hard to always be reduced to the way you look or your sex appeal or what that is.
If you can appeal to another person’s sense of humor, you can introduce ideas, thoughts, things that they may disagree with or not believe in. At least they’ll listen.
One of the things that may appeal to teenagers is that vampires never change – they’re frozen in that age.
I think opera has gained a kind of glamorous appeal. It’s a live performance that aligns all of the arts, and when it is represented in the media, in film in particular, it is presented as something that is really a special event, whether it’s a great date or something that’s just hugely romantic.
If the concept of the Enterprise crew meeting the Legion of Super-Heroes doesn’t appeal to you, there may be something wrong with you.
I have always marveled that so many religions exact such revenge against dissenters. It only weakens the appeal of their faith and contradicts any claims they might have made that ‘all religions are basically the same.’
Lately, I’ve been doing a lot of tuning in and impatiently tuning out. As a longtime fan of talk radio, I don’t think this bodes well for the long-term broad appeal of the medium.
The whole hardware industry has experienced the phenomenon in which every time computers get cheaper, they appeal to a new set of users; every time they get more powerful, old customers upgrade.
A career in journalism suddenly lost its appeal.
Listening to hard rock on the subway doesn’t work for me, especially modern hard rock. Driving in L.A. helped me to understand the appeal of that music.
Boosting education will be a direct counterbalance to Boko Haram’s appeal. In particular we must educate more young girls, ensuring they will grow up to be empowered through learning to play their full part as citizens of Nigeria and pull themselves up and out of poverty.
But if we have been willing to give our lives to this enterprise, which is for the honour of our country, I appeal to our countrymen to see that those who depend on us are properly cared for.
I use the term bar-room to represent every means for the sale and traffic in liquor, and I earnestly appeal to the people to put an end to the traffic, no matter under what name or guise it may be carried on.
If you’re really on top, you probably didn’t do that great, ’cause you have to water it down a bit for it to get that mass appeal.
Our goal is to focus on the unique points of view of our show creators but make shows that have broad appeal.
I wanted to make a film that wouldn’t just appeal to Formula One fans. That’s what the great sports documentaries do – ‘Hoop Dreams,’ ‘When We Were Kings’ – they’re human dramas first, sport second, if at all.
I don’t feel that things need make their appeal exclusively to one demographic. I don’t feel that there is truly great art that only appeals to people in a certain age range.
If ‘Smash Bros.’ were set up to appeal to experts too much and became something like a modern fighter, I think that would raise serious questions about the game’s future.
How do you do something where you’re able to be specific and edgy enough to compete with what the cable networks are doing and, at the same time, appeal to a broader audience? That’s the line that everyone in network television is trying to tread.
I really don’t have an interest in it and people think I’m a freak because I’m not obsessed by ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ but it just doesn’t appeal to me. I’m really sorry but I can’t get into it. You get treated like a complete pariah if you don’t like things like that!
Fame lost its appeal for me when I went into a public restroom and an autograph seeker handed me a pen and paper under the stall door.
The realities are, there are – you can be entertaining and you can be fun, and you can say things that actually appeal to people. You still have to figure out a way to get to 270 electoral votes. Get votes in Iowa, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.
I feel that, particularly because of language, we are handicapped in getting a large world audience. But Hindi cinema has the same ingredients that appeal to the whole world.
If you listen to a Deadmau5 record or a Skrillex record, I really enjoy that stuff because, as aggressive sounding as the Skrillex records are, they’re still musical, and that’s why they have such a broad appeal.
The enduring appeal of mystery stories for all of us is that the world is a pretty confusing place. There’s a lot of really unanswered things, and perhaps the scariest notion would be that there might not always be answers out there for us.
There are many members of parliament present here who know as well as I do that, if a man has not already been converted, it will require a great deal more than a letter of appeal to achieve conversion.
