John Kennedy actually said...

"I applaud the athletes who, by their personal well being, their athletic conduct, and in their personal life, set the high standard by which our country must be judged."

"I am a firm believer in the theory that one method of coping with the complex problem of juvenile delinquency is through active participation in athletic competition."

"I again strongly urge you to join me in discussing the issues in this election in a fifth debate to be held shortly before the election."

"Our Nation's athletes have long personified the best values of democratic society: honesty, fairplay, courage, teamwork, physical fitness, and a standard of success based on ability."
