The great one, Wayne Gretzky is seeded #5, and he has a really slutty daughter who likes to post dirty pictures of herself on Twitter. He is matched up against Jackie Robinson, the 28 seed. He played baseball, and to my knowledge, his daughters were not slutty.

I understand this is a hockey board, and that Gretzky is certainly deserving of the win, but keep in mind that Robinson was a tremendous athlete. In addition to being a world-class baseball player, he lettered in 4 sports at UCLA (Football, Track, Baseball, and Basketball). He won a National Title in the long jump, and was a running back for the Bruins in 1939 when an undefeated UCLA finished #7 in the AP Poll. Robinson also played professional football in Hawaii before World War II. Of course, Robinson is best remembered for breaking the color line and being a tremendous baseball player.

Gretzky is obviously the "Great One" for a reason, but when talking about "Greatest Athlete" I'll take Robinson.

This is why I also voted for Jackie over Wayne - excellence in more than one sport.
