Lukashenko: Why I Focus on Sports, Not Just Hockey

Lukashenko: "Why did I turn to sports? Not only to hockey. Even the President is beginning to be criticized for paying attention to hockey. If football players start playing like hockey players, I will gladly pay attention to football too. But right now, there's nothing to watch there. Football shouldn't be offended that I pay less attention to it. Not at all less."

Football and hockey are the main sports everywhere because they are mass, popular sports.
