Here's what I intended to post..

Bradman was a great batsman, but the greatest cricketer is Garry Sobers.
Nevertheless, cricket is not a universally popular sport.
Pick the best from football, tennis, or track & field.
Anna Kournikova made the most IMPACT on me if making an impact is the sole criterion, regardless of the nature of impact.
How old is that silly article? Written by someone who calls footy by the name soccer?
Ronaldo is no longer the highest goal scorer in WC.
How many goals has Messi scored in WC? Has he won yet?
Don't forget that Diego fella who knows how to use his hands too?
So an article is silly because it is a few years old amd calld football by the name of soccer?
Or it's silly because you don't agree with the valid points and truths raised in it?
You do realise that Pele played with easily the best national side at each world cup, and that scoring goals back then was much easier.
The guy is a fraud and not even close to being the best ever.

....and where's All Oerter????
'Fraud' implies deliberate deception or trickery to gain unlawful gain.
He 'threepeated'. He is the 'winningest'. He didn't deploy "nucular" war against Texas. Or, Bunker Reporter thinks he did?
But he did, and still does, claim to have scored over 1000 goals in his professional career.
He didn't. He scored about 500 of those in friendlies and exhibition matches.
is that deliberate enough for you?
That did not constitute "fraud".
So he hasn't earned money from his self imposed title of greatest footballer of all time
Not a self-proclaimed (if this what you were trying to say) title. Most critics have regarded Pele as the greatest.
Hope you are confusing Pele with Cassius Clay, who never missed an opportunity to brag that he is the greatest. By the way, Mr Clay (or Ali) was a boxer.

Not blowing smoke up his own erse there is he?
The guy is a fraud.
How was it 'self imposed'? Football did not begin with playstation and for many he is still the greatest. You probably saw less than 10 30 second clips of him but did a 'i've signed messi' selfie via your ps4.
Man earns money from fame shock'. It's about 600 goals in proper football,not too shabby when you could still get properly tackled then.
Round three is up

I have no idea what point you're trying to make there.. you're all over the place.
Pele has banged on for years how he's the greatest ever, and tries pushing that view on folk. He's marketed himself for years, using fraudulent claims to back himself up.
Most great players could score the amount of goals he did when playing in 424 formations with world class players feeding you passes, against lame opposition.
He claims to have won 3 WC's yet sat on his erse for most of one of those tournaments.
Was never even the top scorer or best player in any of those World Cups which is what we're told to measure him by.
Round four is up
