I couldn’t pick Lionel Messi out of a lineup if you put a gun to my head, and I’m only 80% sure he’s a soccer player. So… yes?

- jerojero 2y agoThe hubris of thinking you're representative of the world. I think there's a better chance of Messi being known because there's more people in Europe and Latin America that are fans of football than corporations. Even Africa, soccer is quite a popular sport. Now, for Asia, I'm not sure. That's where the game would be played. In a lot of ways when these people say "the world" they mean the subset of people they actually care about. Mostly, US Americans and perhaps Canadians.
