The worlds top sports and your opinion of the biggest icon

I realise that hockey, table tennis and volleyball are massive (sniff!) in Asia, but enough to get them into the top 10 sports in the world?

Football - Ronaldo (the original)
Cricket - Shane Warne
Tennis - Serena Williams/John McEnroe
Golf - Tiger Woods

Field hockey? Is that before you flood the field and let it freeze over? Ffs. There's only one type of hockey and it's not played in a field (well, maybe a field with a frozen pond in it). And the answer is, Wayne Gretsky.

Gretzky may be the most clear and obvious choice in any professional sport other than boxing and Ali.

Along those lines, FYI, we Americans landed on the moon a few years back.
