Every sport eventually produces a one of a kind talent that is remarkable. A talent that is head and shoulders above the rest, for the ages.
Right now that person is soccer phenom Lionel Messi. I know soccer is not mainstream here but that doesn't matter.
To watch an individual do things on the field of play that is indeed great should attract everyone. Messi is laughably a god on
the field. He makes all around him look like little leaguers. If you have a chance, watch any match he is involved with because it is truly great.
I think it's fair to say American football and Baseball have no such "greatest" presently.
