The best player of the most popular sport in the world would certainly have the potential to be influential on a global scale. He's certainly top 100. What he does with that platform is up to him. And Ahmed, it's a reward for influence during ONE year. If, for instance, I wrote a song about cheese that became a global hit, I'd be considered one of Time's Top 100. Cheese advocacy isn't an inspiring platform, but if it gets people to eat more of it, it's certainly influential. I agree with Roswitha.

It is entirely subjective, so why not consider that the word "influential" can be synonymous with "inspirational". If one person's words, actions, demeanor, attitude, way of life, relationships, etc., inspire people to be happier or live more positively, then they have been influential. Perhaps Kaka' doesn't appear to shift the planet in the same way his list-mates have, but he is an exemplary citizen, athlete, husband, father, teammate, celebrity, model for youth and, a peacemaker in his own right. How rare to be all of these things in life while in the public eye. I applaud his inclusion on this list because I'm thrilled that more people will now know who he is. I can't imagine that anything but good will come from that acquaintance.

He is a brilliant player and one to look to in the future. Agreed. Yet, WHO OUTSIDE OF EUROPE (AND THE FOOTBALLING WORLD) KNOWS WHO HE IS? He is only well known by people who follow football. I doubt people who are not sports fans respect him all that much. I dont know about about you but to be one of the TOP 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN THE WORLD (YES THE WORLD), I dont believe he quite cuts it. Before all you Kaka lovers start bashing me know that I am in no way denying his skill, or his religious zeal, or that he is one of the few footballers who takes time out for charity etc. Sure he does, and he deserves to be lauded for that. But not included in the TOP 100. Not yet anyway, maybe after he retires, or after he stays contesting for the player of the year for the next 5 years. Too early and I completely disagree with his inclusion. Here is the deal, Kaka is a remarkable role-model to young footballers and football needs more people like him.

He is not a global celebrity on anywhere near a comparable level to someone such as a David Beckham or even his Brazilian team mate Ronaldinho, neither of whom make the list.[...] [...]There has been some debate about how deserved Kaka’s place on the list is and I can see the arguements against his inclusion.
