Hmm, not a single baseball or hockey player on the list! Could it have more than a little to do with hockey being overwhelmingly White and baseball having a "shameful" lack of the "world's greatest athletes," i.e., less media hype and corporate endorsement opportunities afforded the top players in those two sports? Of course it does.
The list is heavy with black NBA and NFL players, and black sprinters and soccer players. Some White football and tennis players and golfers made it, but overall it's exactly the kind of list one would expect BSPN to concoct to fit its agenda.
