There's a few others, but that's over 2000 years ago, but that's original Olympic games, with fear/respect of greek gods in people.
...did I basically equate Pele to a greek god? I will take it.

If she had been caught with the same thing in AZ, she would still be in jail.
Edit: my bad, didn't know about AZ, but there are still many states in the US that have prison terms similar to Russia.

Always terrible to lose such an icon and remarkable person by all accounts, let alone soccer player. But it's nice to take solace in that he was sick and suffering and now he can rest in peace.

>“Today we name Brittney Griner ‘Arizonan of the Year’ because no other Arizona newsmaker in 2022 captured the public eye as intensely as she did.
I guess it was between her and Kyrsten Sinema.

>ton of Brazilians that visit
You're overestimating how many Brazilians visit Florida. In 2018, the US had 2.2 million visitors from Brazil - assuming those were all single time visitors (and thus ignoring frequent fliers), that's still <1% of the population.
The absolute vast majority of Brazilians can't afford to take international vacations, the ticket costs themselves are prohibitively expensive. Not to to mention the requirements for a visa preclude the majority of Brazilians anyways (in the case of the US).

We are going to get downvoted just for stating a fact and otherwise not being emotionally invested in a problematic celebrity. :)

Pacquaio did the same thing.
MANILA — MANILA, Philippines (AP) - The Philippines army declared a seven-hour truce with insurgents, allowing both sides to watch Manny Pacquiao win the WBC super featherweight title on Sunday.
I can't remember who but i believe some Mexican fighter probably Chavez Sr when he fought, drug cartel didn't fight each other
Im not sure if it was Chavez Sr or Pacquiao in Asia or Duran in Panama
Thee is also Muhammad Ali who rescued 15 US hostages from Sadam Hussein.
Only few people can do that

She has been public about it in the past multiple times but because she was seen as a sports feminist icon her views really began to overshadow her legacy and she basically learned to keep quiet about it for a long time now. There should be results if you just Google it going back around a decade or less.

Sorry I didn't want to hijack this thread and definitely don't want to wish her any harm and hope for the best outcome but she has come out against trans women in sports (whereas Billy Jean King has offered her support for trans women in sport)

While Messi is a GOAT I doubt any player could overtake Pele.
Especially the time he played. Most people couldn't watch him week in week out. You had to wait till the world cup or when Santos was playing friendly games in your country to see him so he became a living legend.
I live in Ireland and could possibly see Messi play live for around €100 or watch him for free on TV.
That wasn't possible with Pele
