Show notes

This week, we focus on what it means to be a famous athlete and who the most famous in the world are. We parse our way through ESPN's Fame 100 list of that lays out the most famous athletes in the world via search frequency, social media following and endorsement income. We dig into the social media side of things, the massive gender imbalance and the intriguing prevalence of Indian athletes. This is a long dive into a world that we can only begin to understand. Additionally, we spend some time talking Jim Furyk, Real Madrid and March Madness. Just another week of trying to understand the sports world a little better.
