It’s a very American list, so who would you have on it?

(that list is hilarious, btw. I appreciate that they’re writing it for their audience, but are american’s really that insulated?)

Bolt and some other mugs
No one. It’s the taking part that counts, not the being the greatest.
Certainly no baseball or american football players
If they’re going to include wrestlers I don’t know how they can mention Aleksandr Karelin and not mention Cael Sanderson.
Otherwise Anderson Silva although his later years were kind of dogged in controversey
Floyd Mayweather although obviously a terrible human being.
Royce Gracie for basically turning concept of martial arts on its head.
Bo Jackson would definitely be in an actually worldwide list though

Yeah, Bo and Deion Sanders - anyone who can play at a top level in two sports should be a shoe-in.

American sports don’t count because nobody else plays them
Not going to stick the world’s best gaelic footballer in there are we

Yeah, I guess if you’re good at two sports that no one else cares about you get a pass
