    Just released, Forbes most influential athletes of 2012 list has Pac-Man ranked at number-four; Pacquiao being the only boxer present on the list.

    Here is the full top-10:

    1: Jimmie Johnson, Nascar.

    2: Tim Tebow, NFL.

    3: Peyton Manning, NFL.

    4: Manny Pacquiao,

    - what Forbes wrote “Influential: 20%. Like/Like a lot: 59%. Likeable boxing champ is a king among the Philippine population. The contrast with boxing “bad guy” Floyd Mayweather doesn’t hurt.”

    5: Tom Brady, NFL.

    6: Aaron Rodgers, NFL.

    7: Dale Earnhard Junior, Nascar.

    8: Drew Brees, NFL.

    9: Eli Manning, NFL.

    10: Jeremy Lin, NBA.

    They have Tebow at number 2, Jeremy Lin is at number 10 despite only starting a handful of games, and there isn't one Black athlete on their list despite Black athletes dominating the top 2 sports in America. That should tell you a lot about this list.

    No it tells something about you. Being a good sportsman is not the same as being a sportsman with influence.....

    Are you really going to tell me that Jeremy Lin is more influential than LeBron James? If that is so, then why the hell is LeBron moving so much more merchandise than Lin? Who exactly is Lin influencing and what is he influencing them to do?
