"Below are biographies of great athletes of the 20th century, as selected and profiled by ESPN"

= :mjpls:

White americans will sell Babe Ruth as a great athlete until the end of time.

not one baseball fan would say babe ruth was a better athlete or baseball player than the likes of griffey or bonds. you're arguing with a dumb racist argentinian troll.

So we were talking about the supremacy of Soccer in the world, and that basketball is a stupid sport where players don't need talent, they just need to be tall. And you said that stuff of "slums"... I am not racist, one of my idols is Tyson Neil Degrasse, but if you want to trash talk with stuff like that I will do the same too.

The weirdest thing about soccer to me is which countries its not popular in. Basically the larger British colonies. Sports distribution is always interesting to me. Like why are motorsports and basketball so popular in Spain. Its obvious in places like Italy or Germany, but why Spain with motorsports? Why Baseball in Japan and Korea? Yes, soccer is popular, but its not the most popular everywhere. Consider its lack of popularity in India, China and the US. That's a huge chunk of the world population.

It depends on when it happened and who brought it. For example, Britain colonised India when soccer wasn't very popular, and it was colonised by upper-class military types that favoured cricket.

any individual who practices enough from an early age can become a pro football(soccer)player

as for the top money sports in america if you are not born to be 6'9 300 lb & run a 4.2 40yd/ with a 48 inch vert then tough luck making it into the nfl or nba

part of the popularity of football(soccer) is due to colonial rule part of it is that football players are more relatable
they are just every day people who happened to start working on the necessary skills to play the game from a young age

football(soccer) makes the dream that anyone can make it seem real

football(soccer) is inclusive to the common man

sports like gridiron football and basketball are exclusive to the few freak athletes on planet earth

all in all its only entertainment*
