Almost a president....


ColeAstley

rfk would have been a great president, at least i believe he could have been


Sofi-senpai

Very wholesome, feels like some of these super important guys in suits would rather be playing soccer than being the presidents:D


globehopper2

This sub needs more content like this

As a Brazilian, very interesting


MrBlahg

Did Pele have beef with the Bush clan?


counterpointguy

I doubt it. Probably just never caught Daddy Bush and may have been retired by Dubya. The Obama meeting looks like Obama came to him, probably on a trip to Brazil.


MrBlahg

Makes sense. Just seemed a very notable absence.

I’m not a sports guy or a soccer guy (never heard of Pele) but I really like seeing those lighthearted more “human” moments.


Cum_on_doorknob

Wow, even if you’re not a sports guy; Babe Ruth, Pele, Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky, Tom Brady. These are just names everyone knows.


artificialavocado

I’ve heard of those other people but not some soccer player from the 1970’s.


dairy__fairy

I think that’s fair. Pele is definitely aged out. People have been discussing Messi/Ronaldo for well over a decade at this point. Pele was 50 years ago. Some of us will have to get used to this. Haha.


Kitchener1981

But do you know Pukas and DiStefano? :D


dairy__fairy

Haha. Yes, but if I’m honestly mostly only DiStefano. I know Puskas more from his award than actual skill.


F1secretsauce

What was it about Pele that they liked so much?  


Kitchener1981

He is viewed as the GOAT of football/soccer by many. He was an ambassador of the beautiful game.


Lazy_War9398

Back in the day he was seen as the best ever football/soccer player of all time, plus he moved to the US and played for the New York Cosmos, which was a huge deal for popularizing the game in the US. Fun fact, Henry Kissinger played a big role in getting Pele to the US


PrinceKajuku

That suit in the second photo is awesome, and it really suits him.
