I agree, but I'm curious to see the % who backs soccer, and % who backs padded rugby, and the remaining who back the latter less famous versions..

No they aren't (real football which Spain are latest world champions isn't at least...when it's good teams playing at least).

I never use the word soccer otherwise, but for such polls, it's not obvious for everyone that when I say "football", I mean association football played by two teams of eleven players who use their feet to shoot a ball..

Speaking of whom, I don't think there are five (let alone one) "American Football League" players who are as famous (worldwide) as

    Pelé
    Diego Maradonna
    David Beckham
    Cristiano Ronaldo
    Lionel Messi
