Ignorant American here but I genuinely don’t know who Yamal is or what sport they play

Ignorant american here. Lamine Yamal plays for FC Barcelona. WHO is the other guy?😃

nbabeau.bsky.social•21 days ago

😂😂😂

The responses are wild but kind of cool.

Lamine is a winger for FC Barcelona and at 17 years old, he’s already one of the best players in the world.

He’s the early favorite for “Most Famous Athlete of the 2030’s” but that’s a long way off.

Gotcha - yeah, it’s on me for not knowing who he is. But if he’s a soccer guy for sure he’s more famous worldwide already !

Here’s a fun couple of minutes mainly featuring his accomplishments at 16 years old. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ermmBTOpmG4&pp=ygUUYmVzdCBvZiBsYW1pbmUgeWFtYWw%3D

Mahomes is for about 400 million people (US and Canada). Jamal is for the rest of the world, almost 8 billion. It's not even close.

Absolutely Lamine Yamal. Outside the US (and, say, Canada), I’d wager that even the likes of, say, Ferran Torres are more famous. The fan bases of the mega clubs are MASSIVE worldwide.

Agreed. Id wager that the proverbial person-on-the-street in, say, Malaysia knows Lamine Yamal but not any NFL quarterbacks, incl Mahomes

hhypeemile.bsky.social•21 days ago

Totally agree.

nbabeau.bsky.social•21 days ago

Lamine May end up being the most famous athlete of the 2030’s but I was sort of curious if he was that famous already

hhypeemile.bsky.social•21 days ago

I see. Between how awesome he’s been for Barça, winning the Euros last summer, and the ubiquity of sport globally, I really think so.

Canadian, never heard Yamal’s name before this, but I don’t really watch soccer.

Really good question but still probably Patty.
He has been famous for 4 times as long even factoring in the soccer
vs football part.
