The BBC asked this question this morning and I've been thinking about it a lot all day.
Apparantly, the criteria is not just a person's impact within their own sport, but in sport generally. Personally, I'm going (albeit tentativelly) with Pele. Who was arguably the first sportsman to be thought of as a genius, in the same sense that, say, a painter was. Ali would be another obvious candidate - although for slightly different reasons. The BBC were clearly adressing an Anglo-European audience (they mentioned David Beckham) and I'm anticipating that a country such as the US would have a radically different take on things. So anyway, I'm going - admittedly without much confidence - for Pele. |

Ignore this thread. It's a dupe. Post in the proper one - assuming you want to post at all.

Two threads that are allegedly questions, and not a question mark in sight...

As cunts go, you're one of the least cunt-like I can think of.
