      I feel like it would make sense that in America that an American athlete playing American sports would be more popular. and that’s not even a diss on Messi it’s just that most Americas don’t watch soccer compared to the nfl . But I actually do appreciate and really like Messi .

      I’d say it’s more like Europeans and South Americans mostly having a hard time accepting soccer (association football) just isn’t that popular yet in the states and Canada. Messi’s huge world wide but America has our own sports we love passionately. Soccer is definitely getting more and more popular and is now the third most popular sport in America.

      You’re assuming that people know their sports and because more people watch American sports in the US, Brady will be more recognisable than Messi
      Tom Brady Instagram followers - 14.2 million.
      Lebron James Instagram followers - 156 million.
      Leonel Messi Instagram followers - 470 million.
      Messi is 33x more likely to be recognized than Tom Brady…because there are no borders with social media. What people see in Europe on Instagram is exactly what people see in the US or anywhere else in the world…and there are 168 million active Instagram users in the US.
      A lot of them will be teenage girls who won’t know what Messi does and probably don’t care. They’ll just go, “Oh, look. There’s that guy from Instagram!”
      Brady’s fame will be limited to sports fans. Messi’s fame is unlimited.

    The truth is Messi has more fans worldwide than the whole of the NFL and NBA combinesd and it's not even close. Also no cricket players are global because cricket altho massive in India is a minority sport on the world stage, where as Messi can go to any of 150 countries and will be treated like a God. Think US citizens need to realise that soccer is NOT a sport, in many countries it's a religion, so the greatest players are literally seen as living Gods.

      But also I'm not convinced that's a great argument since none of these leagues are at 100% attendance. Meaning there's tickets to be had for each of them, so more space doesn't matter. There's currently enough tickets to support the demand.

    "Messi is a celebrity"🤣🤣🤣🤣
    They really don't know what they are talking about.
    It may sound cringe to some but he is almost worshipped like a deity in so many parts of the world.
    The world superstar or celebrity doesn't even come close to describe how the world perceives him.

    Just look at the ticket prizes. If Tom Brady were to come out of retirement, ticket prices would barely increase to negligible. A Chicago Fire game that was $10 is now $180!!! In this era of social media too, there are so many opportunities to get a glimpse of Messi.

      @darkmatter6714 9 місяців тому

      You’re assuming that people know their sports and because more people watch American sports in the US, Brady will be more recognisable than Messi
      Tom Brady Instagram followers - 14.2 million.
      Lebron James Instagram followers - 156 million.
      Leonel Messi Instagram followers - 470 million.
      Messi is 33x more likely to be recognized than Tom Brady…because there are no borders with social media. What people see in Europe on Instagram is exactly what people see in the US or anywhere else in the world…and there are 168 million active Instagram users in the US.
      A lot of them will be teenage girls who won’t know what Messi does and probably don’t care. They’ll just go, “Oh, look. There’s that guy from Instagram!”
      Brady’s fame will be limited to sports fans. Messi’s fame is unlimited.

    Wanna revisit this question? Messi isn't just "some soccer player" - he's the greatest player of his generation and widely regarded as the best player to play the game. If no one knew who he was they sure a shit did after Qatar. The World Cup dominates asolutely everything, television numbers mean sweet f*ck all, Messi's face and name is everywhere, he's probably dominated US Networks too over the past 6 weeks.
