Soccer fans: Pele is on his death bed

[blackangst1]

Im not a huge soccer fan, but Im very aware of who Pele is. One of the greatest soccer players to have lived. He'll probably die soon, and the soccer world will be less without him.

Pele transferred to palliative care after no longer responding to chemotherapy (msn.com)

note: football for purists

I wonder how many peeps in the US actually appreciated him when he was playing. Not me, but that's not saying much.

Oh, and by the by, fuck cancer.

How popular was soccer in the U.S. during Pele's prime? He retired from professional play before many of us were born. Even still we were aware of his legend growing up, but we never saw him play.

Pele is 82 years old. He has lived a good life.
