I did some research. Michael Jordan is regarded (by most of the world) as the most important sports icon of all time

You obviously focused on this one comment cuz I said I’m not a soccer fan at the beginning.

Once a ref gave him the red card. The red was subbed off and he kept playing.
Not a joke, once in a Colombia Brazil game in 1969, in Colombia with almost only Colombian fans, there was a short brawl between a Brazilian player and a Colombian, and Pele tried to calm the brawl off; the referee from afar thought it was Pele who started a fight. Gave him the red card for that.
Pelé even left the pitch, but the Colombians who saw the action unfold better booed the referee so much, that he had to leave and he substituted for with a different referee, once Pelé returned the pitch on the request, the crowd (of, again, Colombians) started cheering with their lungs of happiness because Pelé returned to the pitch.
Pelé states that's the moment he felt/understood he became a global monument. The Colombians forced so that Pelé, the most dangerous rival, to come back to play.

BJK is the real deal. Her legacy even predates Navratilova. So glad you mentioned her.

Actual terf or just had a different opinion on trans women competing in sports to some.
I see a lot of female athletes being called slurs like "terf" for some pretty nuanced and balanced opinions these days so I feel the need to ask.

I mean he was mostly a scorer but his passing wasn’t that terrible tbh

At least the par 3 tournament. That would be awesome. AGNC may not like it, though.

Muhammad Ali, but Pelé is certainly near the top.

>“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. Nor has anyone’s story in this state aroused the kind of fear and foreboding that hers had for nearly 300 days,” the outlet said on Sunday.
So based on this criteria Ted Bundy would have been Arizonan of the Year at one point?

There are so many Brazilians that live down here in Florida. I’m currently visiting two of my cousins. It’s crazy going to a Walmart or convince store here and hearing people speak Brazilian Portuguese everywhere.

It’s really a contest between Pele and Muhammad Ali (Ali was a big star in the US but absolutely gigantic in most of the rest of the world)
