Reply to comment by Ray_Pingeau in Brazilians to bid final farewell to Pelé with 24-hour wake and coffin procession by ladyem8

Didn't Drogba stop a war?

I had to look him up. Yes, his country stopped fighting for him. Pele stopped people from killing each other on an entirely different continent. Also, I’m comparing GOATs. No one stopped killing people because Gretzky or Jordan were playing.

Nigeria stopped fighting for a Brazilian player.

Edit: my dyslexia acted up so I corrected “playing” with “fighting”.

Yet. We're mostly waiting to annex Alaska, but there's always the threat of Quebec seceding.

You obviously focused on this one comment cuz I said I’m not a soccer fan at the beginning.

And yet you still think any of us would care about your "analysis" of GOATs across different sports. Gotta say, you aren't lacking in confidence!
