Finally a list that seems to make some sense. I am sick of Rolling Stone and Time lists because they are usually so ridiculous.

List

Not sure I like it much. I guess I’m not considering the whole “Revolutionary” thing. But for Lance Armstrong to be #25 when he should be in the running for athlete of all time.
And Ali as #1. What? Bahhh……
Tony Hawk? Oh brother……
Dale Earnhardt? Not an athlete. Great driver, but not an athlete.
And Tiger should be higher then 17.

They're talking revolutionary, not most influential, as you already noted.

Dale Earnhardt is an athelete.

If Dale is then so is Bobby Fisher!

Kobayashi takes fifth straight hot dog title
It's a sports link, so he has to be!
