This is a major international metropolitan city. World wide representation.
Even in the black community the amount of persons of Caribean, Central and South American and African descent are plentiful.
If you can’t admit that and want to keep Dmoney’s perception then go ahead and not accept truth.

There might not be a square foot of Buenos Aries that is not under a picture of Messi. There may be more Argentinian soccer fans in S Florida then Miami College football fans..

No lie.
The Argentiinian Soccer Federation is building a training facility for their national teams in, off all places, Hialeah.

I think we are focusing too much on the sport without actually focusing on the actual person.
Just because we are talking about a soccer player it doesn’t mean he’s only gonna be known to soccer fans.
There have been several super stars that have outshined their respective sport.
Ana Kornikova
Lewis Hamilton
Pele
Muhammad Ali

Messi has been part of sports highlights and commercials for almost 2 decades.
And he’s regarded by many as the best to ever play his sport.
You can’t go anywhere in Sofla without seeing his name on a shirt or a picture of him on an add.

He’s the soccer version of Michael Jordan.
If Malachi and Messi show up in Bunche Park together, the kids and the local football fans watching will freak out that Toni is there.
But a lot of futsal and soccer is also played there. And I guarantee you that just as many people will be asking for autographs and pics with Messi as they do with Toni.

Like everything in soFla, everything is what neighborhood/suburb/city you're talking about.
This is really an unfair question because Messi is a global brand, where Toney is our hometown
hero that has blossomed into a college football star.

I’ll still take the Canes over a game of cardio
 


If these numbers are even remotely true, then we’re getting an absolute bargain for him lol. I would have thought he’d be getting significantly more than this. The private yacht is a nice little perk though

I didn’t say I necessarily believed it. I would imagine he’s getting almost triple that lol. He’s probably up there with one of the highest paid players in the country

Yeah the money isn’t really the thing that makes me laugh. It’s the extra stuff like the free use of the yacht whenever. Not happening lol.
