Bill Goldberg reveals why he would never run for political office
Speaking in an interview with NewsNation’s BIFF podcast, Goldberg was asked about entering politics. He immediately dismissed the possibility and explained his reasons. “Hell no. For one reason. I mean, for a thousand reasons, but first and foremost, they look into my background. I was a I was a crazy guy as a kid.”
“You know, I wasn’t the responsible parent that I am now. But, you know, uh it’s about evolution. And I had to do what I did as a kid to be the person that I am right now and to learn to appreciate every single thing that comes in front of me and not take advantage of anything.”
He also stressed the importance of personal growth. “You know, life is what you make of it. And if you aspire to be at the top of the list, then every single day you should do something to get there. It’s about moving forward. Not about being stagnant. It’s not about going backwards. Every day is a struggle. No matter what situation you’re in. You know, you can compartmentalize and everybody has their issue.”
“Everybody has the struggle. But if you get up every day with a smile on your face and you treat people the way you want to be treated and you work your ass off, then you then when you lay your your head down to bed, you have something to be proud of and you just repeat that every day.”
Goldberg then reflected on his position as a public figure. “As I said, my my job as a celebrity, as a ex-h Hall of Famer, a wrestler, an NFL player. I put myself on that pedestal for people to look up to and I took that with pride and joy to be a leading force and that is extremely important to me.”
He also highlighted his responsibility toward his son. Goldberg said his actions should give his family something to be proud of. “My son you know so every day is a struggle every day I got to make sure that he’s proud of what I do and it’s not about what you did yesterday it’s about the next play and so you just try to prepare yourself in any way humanly possible to attack the goal anything that comes up you know you got to you got to attack it you can’t sit back and let things happen you have to you have to be control of your situation but these days you have to tread very lightly.
