| Also, with apologies to Sporclers around the world, this quiz definitely has a North American emphasis. There are several reasons for this. One is a simple language barrier. Pele, for example, would be a great addition to this quiz, but the vast majority of interviews with him are not in English and all of the other clips are. Another is that people tend to be familiar with athletes from their country or region (unlike world history where it's reasonable to assume that people from around the world would know who Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela are). If I tried to mix up regions or languages, I was very likely going to make the quiz an impossible mish-mash for everyone. As such, I'm focusing on North American sports with this quiz series. |
