It's really regional. Where I live, baseball is the primary sport and basketball (primarily NBA) is a distant second. Many but considerably less than half of young people know who Messi is but only because he just won a world cup and even that memory is fading fast since most people didn't watch it. You'd struggle to find anyone under 60 who hadn't heard of Zuck.
- padthai 2y agoThat’s the US perspective. But globally the final of the World Cup (which Messi played) was seen by more than 1.5B people (compared to <200M in the Super Bowl). It is a big name.
- AlchemistCamp 2y ago> That’s the US perspective. No, it's not. Did you really think baseball was the most popular sport in America? I was talking about where I live (Taiwan). Also, it's a safe bet that more than 1.5 billion people just between India and China have heard of Zuck given how often he's been front page media in both countries.
