[Lakerman0834]

stupid question but I've seen BSPN before on here in place of ESPN what's it mean?

Bull shyt what're PN stands for, cuz most of their content these days is shyt

 

[Supreme365]

exactly. Basketball is barely followed outside of the U.S. and in other countries its a niche sport like fukking hockey or the mls is to us.

You're an idiot it's the second most popular sport only to soccer and is literally followed everywhere

troll job by espn

first of all messi is #1 not cristiano

and lebron is way too high

phil mickelson more ppl know who zlatan ibrahimovic is

I stopped reading this list when I got through the top 5 and didn't see

There's absolutely no way Phil Mickelson is a top 5 most famous athlete. If you're not a white man over the age of 40 that makes over $100k a year I doubt you'll know who he is.

First time ever I've seen the name...no way he's bigger than Neymar, Bolt or Woods...and what is Durant doing in the top ten

 

[MikelArteta]

world cup and champions league and euro get the biggest viewers on tv so not surprising. NBA is also huge and so is Tennis

 

[Robert California]

Phil Mickelson isn't even the most famous athlete in THIS country

 

[Reggie]

I'm thinking more people know Tom Brady then Phil Mickelson.
