Hi,

These rankings once again prove that the Americans know absolutely nothing (pretend ignorance towards other sports) about the world, let alone other sports. Does anybody outside America know who the NFL commissioner  is or does a person by the name of Bud Selig even exist??

And what happened to the known fact that soccer has been the most deep-rooted and widespread sport for more than a century ??

More kids around the globe grow up dreaming about winning Wimbledon or reperesenting their country in the Olympics than winning the Super Bowl.

These rankings are outrageous to say the least.

Thanks,

The Commissioner.

I absolutely agree with commissioner. Who in the world knows what is NFL at all?

Americans think that the world of sport belong to them and that they invened all sports. Who is the man at the top of the list? I even didnt here his name befor. If you wish to make the list of powerfll people in american sport, than maybe he should be there, but top 100 in the world? Shame on you.
