You have to be kidding me. Even of their times none of thoose 4 were the most athletic people. Show me a gold player that can do the iron man triathlon, then you got yourself an athlete.

Reading comprehension must not be your strong suit.


To the OP, I would add Lance Armstrong.

Lance Armstrong is hated outside of the US, especially after his steroid use.

they would have to know him to hate him...

but not really, if you go to South America, Asia, Africa, I doubt if very many people would know who he is, to be known worldwide you really would have to be popular in Soccer, hence Pele.

yeah thats true and thats what I said if you read the earlier posts by me...i was just pointing out the faulty logic you were using

Really would have to be Pele. HE is known in every continent because of the popularity of soccer, Beckham might be close but i think his popularity is more Eurocentric.
