reno Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Do you think people will still remember about athletes such as Muhammad Ali, Babe Ruth, Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Wayne Gretzky ,or video games such as halo, zelda, final fantasy? Do you think we will be long forgotten and only found in the storage compartments of history, assuming humanity is still living? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Video games, absolutely not... Babe Ruth is a maybe, since what he did compared to everyone else during his era was so revolutionizing to America's sport... I'd be surprised though.

Lkr Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 ^outside of the US, no one gives a rat's ass about Ruth lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fish7718 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 ^outside of the US, no one gives a rat's ass about Ruth lolI think you focus way too much on what the world thinks, he will be remembered in the US with no doubt. Do you remember the best soccer player from the 1920's? Best golfer? Best hockey player? Yeah, I think Ruth is here to stay... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I am sure none of this will be forgotten because we actually have records of all this, pictures, film, and it all gets passed down. The reason we don't know too much about what happened 600 years ago is because there was no way for people to record things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phightins Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 If these sports are still around, I see no reason why these guys wouldn't be remembered by sports fans. The leagues all do a pretty nice job of preserving their history. It's easy to forget how relatively "new" all of these sports are. None have been around for anywhere close to 600 years yet, so I guess we don't have any way of knowing. But I don't see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trutrojan8 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I mean when you think about people ~500 years ago... Columbus, Pizzaro, Magellan. These guys explored the world, did things otherwise unheard of. Like, nobody knows anyone who wasn't like a King, explorer, etc from 500 years ago. If someone were to be remembered from sports, they'd have to do something just oustanding, and I don't see that happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as they are around, there will be fans, and as long as there are fans, I feel like the legends will be remembered. You make a good point, though. A lot of records will most likely be shattered at some point, but names like Ruth and Gretzky and Jordan are too iconic to just be forgotten, as long as there are sports fans. It's a very interesting thought though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owner Real Deal Posted June 15, 2011 Owner Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The bigger question is, will OTR still be up? Yes, and I'll be running it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRV Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I only knew who Babe Ruth was because of the movie Sandlot...didn't care for baseball much until I saw that movie lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammin Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I'd say yes to athletes that revolutionized certain sports. We remember major people in the wars, in revolutions etc etc in history so I'm sure everyone will know of the name Michael Jordan, Muhammad Ali etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
