Who's powerful in sports?

Can BusinessWeek's 2007 power champ Roger Goodell repeat now that the voting's been opened up to the masses?

The letters thread is now closed.

Count it!

Well, I just placed my vote for you on BusinessWeek's poll. I don't know about my vote being wasted. I read and enjoy your column (blog) every day, so to my little corner of the world that makes you more powerful than many other figures who'll be on the list. Your pointing out the ridiculousness of Fox's coverage of MLB alone would give you my vote, but you've written a lot of other thoughful and entertaining things over the years. Keep it up. If you or others get a laugh out of this - so much the better. As our contemporaries The Cars said, "let the good times roll."

Fox Pop

Sure, King, you got my all unimportant vote, but, just to keep things Fair-and-Balanced, I also nominated Jeanne Zelasko.

what a joke

surely they mean in American sports, no? Any list like this without Michael Platini or Sep Blatter is a completely farce.

My vote wasn't wasted

You got my vote big guy ... and to be sure it wasn't a wasted one, I also put my vote in for Kimbo Slice, Victoria Beckham, Pete Rose, and Ron Paul.

rock the vote

I think Buster and his sister, Daisy (Buster, Jr.) should get my vote.

Do I *HAVE* a vote?

Easy

Easy- Rupert Murdoch. Even an American should get that one right.
