Don't know how many of you say the retarded poll on ESPN about the greatest athlete of all-time. It is in the sports nation section. You have to vote for a minimum of 10 people, I think. I couldn't find 10 worthy of voting. The main reason for this is that they left off some of the greatest atheletes ever. The only people on list I found worthy of votes were Jim Thorpe, Wilt Chamberlain, Jackie Robinson and Jackie Joyner-Kerse. Everyone else was a one sport wonder, but didn't accel at more than one sport. Notably absent were Babe Diedrickson, Bob Mathiason, Bo Jackson, Dieon Sanders and Duke Kahanamoku.

I have no clue how you can include Anika Sorenstam on their list not Diedrickson. Just goes to prove just how really stupid and uneducated the hacks at ESPN are. I'd expect more from an organization that is supposed to focus on sports.

Next thing you know they are put poker players on the greatest athlete list because they are good at hearts and 52 pick up
