how does Barry Sanders keep coming up in polls on this website? sure he was a great player but he's no icon rising above all other nfl players, not even others at his position
 
My sports icon is still Arnold Palmer though, for my money no finer human being has ever graced the world of sport.  No matter who you are or what you do in his presence you feel not only accepted but important.  He is the King for a reason.


Agreed on Ruth.

Hm...I voted for Gretzky because I can't think of another major sports league that was as completely ted by one player. He really is the face of hockey

Yep, Gretz or Jordan for me too.

I really blew this poll by including the word icon.  I really was interested in who was the most ridiculously dominant during his playing years vs his peers.
