“Not completely satisfied.” Pozner – about the work of Valuev in the State Duma

Famous journalist Vladimir Pozner commented that the former world heavyweight boxing champion Nikolay Valuev at the end of his sports career, he became a politician. Currently, Valuev is a deputy of the State Duma of the Russian Federation.

Posner was asked if he was happy that Valuev was also responsible for decisions that concern everyone.

“It doesn’t suit me at all. I do not want to say anything bad about Valuev, although he was absolutely no boxer. To put it mildly, not Mohammed Ali. I don’t feel that he owns the issue to the extent that it is necessary to own, ”quoted Sports.ru journalist as saying.

Posner also answered the question why athletes almost always support the current government.

“This must be asked. I think that if a person wants to pursue a career and move forward, one of the ways to achieve this is to support the powers that be. Show your devotion, patriotism and so on.

By the way, when an athlete begins to critically talk about power, it usually doesn’t end very well, ”he said.
