Interesting news piece picked up on my Internet surfing today. The important American current affairs magazine “Time” will publish on the 29th of April its FINAL list of the Top 100 most influential personalities (in all areas) in the World. Time has chosen firstly 200 names of which they cast a poll to see what the public (American in their majority) think will finally constitute a final Top 100 List. Obviously a list of this kind is very subjective & the main idea is to cause debate & thus give publicity to “Time Magazine” especially its online version which will be publishing such list.
What is notable is that three Spanish Football – Soccer – League based players were named within the Top 200 for the voting section. The first is CRISTIANO RONALDO who is currently in the Nº35 place in today’s voting with 5714 votes, along with Brazilian team-mate KAKÁ who also is in the voting & is currently placed in the Nº 54 position with 3016 pts. The other named Football players are Spanish based THIERRY HENRY (FC Barcelona ) currently in Nº 87 with 1617 pts , with English Premier League player Didier Drogba (Chelsea FC) currently 148 with 687 pts &) , plus there are other Sports people like Tiger Woods, Roger Federer & Serena Williams in the voting as well.
What may call everyone’s attention, especially those outside the United States, is the total absence of LIONEL MESSI, current FIFA World Player & Golden Ball winner, who doesn’t get a mention. Plus, what calls my attention is the absence (at least what I have seen) of Spanish Tennis Champion RAFAEL NADAL.You still have time to cast your vote: TIME ONLINE Tweet
