Welcome to my biggest project to date. This world is filled with many sports. Some are highly respected by the sports world and some get ridiculed.
Remember, where I rank them is not my opinion, but the world's opinion. For example, I'm a big pro wrestling fan, but the world might disagree, so the sport might not make it onto the list.
Anyway, here come the Three Most Respected Sports in the world.
Other Top Respected Sports
Before we start this list I would like to send out and honorable mention to basketball and baseball, who just missed the list. Anyway, here we go!
3. Soccer
Is anyone surprised that Soccer is on this list. It is the highest played sport in all the world. It's a game where anyone can play. All you have to do is now how to run, kick, and get around people.
Since the sport is enjoyed by almost all, I do think it deserves a spot here. It's a game you can play in your backyard, it's a game you can play at school, it's also a game you can create other mini-games out of. It's basically "fun" as the pre-school kids say.
Now time to turn to the big leagues. In the professional sports world soccer is also one of the favourite sports. Most of the natural born athlete's out there decide to try to make it to the world of soccer because it's honestly the easiest. Just ask them.
Soccer right now is being highly promoted by one man. His name is Cristiano Ronaldo. Not saying he's the only one because there are a lot of other people that promote the game very well including Ricardo Kaka. But, in the end, most people look to Ronaldo and not him. Not because Ronaldo is better, but because he is on a bigger franchise.
I mean, you rather talk about a guy who's team made the Champion's League Final and not a guy who's team finished somewhere near the bottom of the Italian League. Luckily Kaka might be on his way out of AC Milan so maybe he can go somewhere bigger.
Right Now I think Cristiano Ronaldo is the face of soccer for many reasons: 1. Because the girls love him for his looks; 2. Because he can actually play; 3. Because he gets so much media attention.
A good percent of readers probably have Ronaldo jerseys, unless they're a Chelsea or Liverpool fan. He is also fun to hate. Like in my case I absolutely hate the guy, but the reason for that is because he is too big in my opinion. And there it is. I hate the guy, but it's fun to hate him (weird).
Right now I'd say the biggest league in soccer is definitely the Barclay's English Premier League. They have three of the biggest clubs out there (Chelsea FC, Liverpool, Manchester United). And every year to see these three teams battle it out for who will have the Barclay's Premier League title. Now that's just epic, even if, in the end, Manchester United gets it.
Some day I do think it will be Chelsea's or Liverpool's time to shine. They come close every year, with like a three-point difference between the first and second seat with the third not too far away, either. There are other amazing leagues too, but they just can't top this one.
Right now I think this sport belongs to a few countries. This sport used to be all Brazil's, but that has changed. Brazil has really slowed down over the years. Spain has recently stepped up their game in the world stage, as well as Germany and Italy (despite them already being amazing at the world stage).
I personally don't think there is a king of the world for soccer, but, if I had to pick, I think I'd say Italy because they really know how to get their way (if you know what I mean).
Basically, soccer is really respected in the sport's world, but not the most respected so that means it comes in at No. 3!
