Athletes are like any celebrity. As big as the NFL is in the USA, a tiny number of the plYers get exposure outside of their team’s market.
While the MLS is successful it is a fifth/sixth tier sport.
Renaldo has been playing in Saudi Arabia for While now and before that La Liga games competed with NFL and CollegeFootball for air time. So he didn’t get a lot of exposure in the US.
It if always weird who doesn’t stick for marketting in the US.
Messi has been getting more exposure in the US since buying the MLS team.
I am a fan of international soccer so i watch the two WCs, Copa America and the Euros so i know the big names, but there are so many top flight European football players i don’t know.
