Those look like good picks.
2 soccer, 2 football, 2 basketball, 2 tennis, 1 golf, 1 baseball.

Sadly only one female but she is definitely a GOAT

I'm going to go out on a limb here and point out that while golf* and baseball* are sports and certainly require talent and strength, the level of athletic ability required to play those sports is nowhere near tennis, soccer or basketball. I would bet most of the best tennis players could become solid golfers, but zero of the top golfers could last 5 sets against even a player ranked #200.

*Bowling and curling are also "sports" and if ESPN names any bowlers or curlers in their top 100, they will garner even less respect from me than they already do.

Come at me.

I don't see Paige Spiranac on that list so it's obviously flawed.

The Olympics has been a joke for a while. How could any serious athletic competition not include pickleball?!? Please.

I was waiting for the Pickleball Mafia to chime in! Looks like 2032 is your year. Until then, it’s flag football in 2028
