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.

@@asdfadf1904 If you do it by attendance percentage they're higher than MLB now. 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.

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.

Most Americans used to think that there's no other world outside the USA with respect to sports and entertainment until recently, hence they're finding it difficult to embrace the reality that there are sports & music stars as big or even bigger than the ones in their country. The Noodles guy is ludicrous by the way. What on earth has height got to do with superstardom & popularity? That man has no business being a pundit or whatever he's doing there.

this debate is only for the US. Because if we talk about the whole world, theres no debate. Messi is probably the most popular human being... If he is human 👽

The host should travel the world and will know more about Messi

I'm from one of the poor list countries in Africa Liberia but my entire family and 70%of Liberian knows messi who is tom, lebron will try little bit but Messi is one of the greatest Man ever lived

Messi himself hopes he wouldn't be recognized just to do normal people stuff. But, because he is a rare thing, in the states he could be mobbed.
