At on side, there is the &#8220;I hate Pele, look what he did to his daughter&#8221;, on the other, the &#8220;I doubt Tyson raped that woman. She goes up to his room past midnight, expecting what? Another thing, if really had hit her, he would have ripped her head off&#8221;\u00a0\u2014 typical case of victim blaming.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Likewise, Michael Jordan can be used as an example. Just like the King, MJ, during his career, never said anything about political or racial issues. However, some that curse Pele because of that kind of omission, applaud and have Jordan as a great idol. Therefore, there is, among Brazilians, this tolerance\u00a0towards American athletes not granted to Pele.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The great Ayrton Senna, unlike the solicitous Pele, used to deny autographs, <a href=\"http:\/\/fuckyeahfelipemassa.tumblr.com\/post\/84278402018\/massa-reminds-autograph-denied-by-senna-but\">including to children<\/a>. \u00a0Does that make him any less of an admirable or talented driver? Obviously not, so much that no one underestimate Senna because of that here in Brazil. Among our countrymen, this demand for perfection exists to its fullest in regard to Pele. Ayrton, Michael, may, like all human beings, have faults in their personal lives. Not Edson. In order to be worthy of appreciation, he should be the &#8220;Pele off the field&#8221;, something like a saint, truly immaculate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On the field, the Kind was the &#8220;God of all stadiums&#8221;, perfect in the attributes necessary to a football player. Outside the field, he is just Edson, a man like any other, with his virtues and faults. And there is nothing wrong with that!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To celebrate his birthday, below all the posts in this blog about Pele:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/pele-and-messi-a-comparison-between-two-geniuses\/\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/pele-and-messi-a-comparison-between-two-geniuses\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/part-ii-club-performance\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/part-ii-club-performance<\/a>\/<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/part-iii-national-team-performance\/\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/part-iii-national-team-performance\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/part-iv-conclusion\/\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/05\/16\/part-iv-conclusion\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/08\/08\/pele-and-racism\/\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/08\/08\/pele-and-racism\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/09\/04\/there-was-a-latin-american-genius-in-the-middle-of-the-road-pele-x-eusebio-and-messi-x-cristiano-ronal\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/09\/04\/there-was-a-latin-american-genius-in-the-middle-of-the-road-pele-x-eusebio-and-messi-x-cristiano-ronal<\/a>do\/<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/02\/pele-and-messi-in-finals\/\">https:\/\/otaviopinto.com\/index.php\/2015\/10\/02\/pele-and-messi-in-finals\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/lang\/pt\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"pinterest\",\"email\",\"print\",\"linkedin\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"pt_BR\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"blogdootavio\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Pele%20-%2075%20years%20old%20today.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_counters\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/lang\/pt\/share-small.png\" style=\"border:0px; padding-top:2px; float:left;\" alt=\"Share Button\"\/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services_c=new Array(\"twitter\",\"facebook_like\",\"facebook_send\",\"pinterest\",\"email\",\"print\",\"linkedin\");var hupso_counters_lang = \"pt_BR\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_twitter_via=\"blogdootavio\";var hupso_url_c=\"\";var hupso_title_c=\"Pele%20-%2075%20years%20old%20today.\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/counters.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div><p>Pel\u00e9 celebrates today his 75th birthday.\u00a0Congrats to the King!
