Default Re: Who is most recognizable worldwide?

I only know Michael Jordan from that kids movie i seen when i was like 10. He isn't famous outside of the US really. No American Sports figure is well known worldwide. Your sports like American Football, baseball, basketball and hockey basically just don't exist in Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia. (obv a few exceptions for some of those sports in some countries) When i was in Asia i seen so many things about David Beckham like the fake shirts with his name on the back and stuff like that worn by soooooooooo many people. Plenty of other names like Ronaldinho too on shirts. So definitely Beckham is more of a worldwide name than Jordan.

George Bush is most recognizable face in the world IMO. Also searching the internet doesn't mean much for people being most recognizable. I know much more about Beckham than Michael Jordan but i would have much more of a chance of googling Michael Jordan's name just because i want to find out information on him.
