The op was asking why they didn't do anything when he was moved to end of life hospice care, which was before their round of 16 knockouts, not after he passed.

Reply to Fifa’s Infantino will ask every country to name stadium in honour of Pelé by King-of-New-York
Going to be a hard ask when naming rights for stadiums in the US go for lots of money.

I had to look him up. Yes, his country stopped fighting for him. Pele stopped people from killing each other on an entirely different continent. Also, I’m comparing GOATs. No one stopped killing people because Gretzky or Jordan were playing.

Really puts it into perspective when some people call 80k a small town.
Makes you wonder what they'd call a 10k town lol.

Didn't Drogba stop a war?

Wishing her the best! She appeared as a special guest at a charitable event I was in charge of planning a few years ago, and she was really kind, always cracking jokes, just lovely to work with (on top of obviously being one of the best tennis players of all time!)

A country held a cease fire to watch a player play soccer who isn’t even from Nigeria. What other sports star playing a game was the result of a cease fire? People literally stopped killing each other to watch him play.

Orlando has a ton of Brazilians that visit, go to any of the theme parks and you’ll hear Portuguese just as often if not more than Spanish. Certainly not a luxury someone from a favela could afford but it’s not seen as something only attainable by millionaires or whatever. And obviously KFC exists there and is not a luxury food.
Obviously Bolsonaro is a piece of shit and PR bullshit is PR bullshit but for anyone who buys into it it would be seen as humble for an ex president.

I’m not being rude at all, but I’d literally just Google him. Maybe check out his Wikipedia page. There’s probably too much to fit into a single Reddit comment. But it’s worth searching out :)

I know nothing about soccer and very little about sports. Why do you think he's the most important sports icon of all time?

Fair enough. Although he was a legend, he is nowhere near GOAT status

Infantino can use FIFA’s money to build those stadiums. Egg headed look at me corrupt nuisance
