Find some of this hard to believe, even as a filthy American.

Granted it's difficult to judge something like this accurately but that top 10 seems wrong. Unless it's for US and not the world

Yeah no. Brady is incredibly famous for the sport he plays but American Football and the resulting celebrity is incredibly confined to the USA with very light fandom anywhere else in terms of the big picture. He's not even remotely close to many soccer stars, and some golf and tennis players probably have more fame.

I don't even know what this Brady guy looks like. As a non-US person, Serena Williams and Tiger Woods are infinitely more recognisable US athletes. I don't even know what sport Aaron Rodgers plays so I'd definitely push Federer up.


But yeah, Messi and Ronaldo would surely be vying for the top spot.

The fact that MJ isn't no 1 shows how crap this list is even if it is only for the US

In the wider world I'd say Brady isn't that well known, like my wife would never have heard of him but 100% would know who Tiger Woods is despite not liking golf

As a sports fan in general I've not heard of some of those guys in the top 10

Americans sure love to smell their own farts. Imagine putting the #1 most popular athlete on a sports game that's almost exclusively played in the US....

If youre gonna put an athlete at #1 who plays a sport that is only popular in one country, at least put a cricket star up there

Granted, I'm not that much into sports, but putting Tom Brady above Christiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Tiger Woods and Roger Federer seems incredibly dumb. I'm 100% willing to bet that those four names are more well-known worldwide than some dude who plays a sport that is only popular in the USA.

Aaron Rodgers is the best one. Like who even is that. It's like the million pound question for who wants to be a millionaire.
