1) NO...That futbol's place as the #1 global sport is permenant....in reality, basketball has just as few barriers to entry, and the different ways and combinations you can play (5 on 5, 3 on 3, 2 on 2, 1 on 1, 21, half court, full court, HORSE..on dirt...pavement...hardwood...driveway, street...in your bedroom on the back of the door...etc) make it a SIGNIFICANTLY more accessible sport than soccer.
Hoops will surpass futbol before I die, and Olympic basketball will trump a world cup in cultural significance within 50 years.

What the fukk are you talking bout?The notion that a story in the media is going to affect how a player performs on the field or court. These athletes get paid millions of dollars and have played in 100's to 1000's of games. You mean to tell me that an elite defensive end can play through a concussion or all sorts of fractures & bruises but will be affected psychologically during a game because the crowd and talking heads have a sour opinion of him?
