Sportsmarketability?
It is your turn to voice your expert opinion on who you think commands the marketplace. Which athlete do you believe can just plain sell! Remember, the sports marketing industry has radically changed the way businesses do business. You see Tiger endorsing Buick & Nike (along with a host of others), McNabb (and mom) pushing Campbell's chunky soup, and on and on. But what does your vision suggest? Who do you think is the most marketable athlete in the world? Click the word comment below and give me the name of an athlete and a brief reason as to why you think that person is the most marketable athlete right now.

In my opinion, the World's most marketable athlete as of now is Derek Jeter because everybody knows him to be a baseball superstar and he is signed to a contract with the Yankees, the best team in baseball with the most World Series titles.

I think the most marketable athltete is Steve Smith because he is a great player and he doesnt showbote. And all of his fans love him. Right now he is the best football player and marketers would love to have him market a product, but he doen't have any commercials yet. He soon will be revolution of marketing.

I think that Peyton Manning is the best marketer because he is one of the best quarter back ever to play the game. He is young, good looking and hasestablished a good name for himslef. Someone who is into football would easily buy the product that he is marketing over one that he is not.

i think that chad johnson is the most marketable player in the league because of his enthusiasm for the game. his likeability is caused by his general attitude that he is the best and he could help sell stuff.

I feel that the most marketable athlete right now in all of sports is Ladanian Tomlinson, running back of the San Diego Chargers. The Chargers are getting much attention because of they are the top of their division right now and are winning key games. Their success is due to the performance of pro bowler LT. LT is breaking numerous records and getting much attention from the media. In addition, he is on pace to break the record set last season for touchdowns by Shaun Alexander. LT's popularity among NFL fans is remarkable, and is catching the attention of many audiences. Because of this positive media, he becomes incredibly marketable. In actuality, he is the perfect marketing tool for companies that use sports marketing because he both highly recognized and very successful.

I think that the most marketable athlete in the world is Donovan McNabb. He is well know throughout the football league and he is one of the best. Almost everyone like him because he is very skillful and now when you put him into a commercial, everyone will want that product. For example, chunk's soup. Donovan McNabb has made everyone believe that chunk's soup is great and so they buy it.

I believe the most marketable person in sports today would have to be LeBron James. He is paid by Nike millions of dollars each year, and appears in many commercials and billboards. He works hard and because he so s good, even as a rookie, everyone likes him. They want to be as good as him, and so they will buy his product, or the product he is marketed with.

I think one of the more marketable sports players is wide reciever Terrell Owens. Although he's brought controversy to most teams he's been a part of, he brings attention to himself. He sells himself well so why can't he sell a product? People watch him because he brings other elements to football besides the game. Many people have mixed opinions about him. Some love him, others hate him, but the fact that there are two extremes just shows that people are interested in the things he does and says.

Hands down Peyton Manning the the most marketable player in the world. What more appealing to the young kids mind, a football star who appears everywhere at this point. Even those nfl commercials throw him out there to people who don't watch football. Who is not better than a celebrity football star, who has a family history of sports. Not to mention his leadership on the field has many respecting him, and as well as his behavior; adds even more to him. In the end he does go all the way, and yes there is no punn intended, but his status gives him a standup advantage, along with his mannerism and behavior.

i think Lebron James is very marketable because he is a great player with a good attitude towards the game. Also because he is great with the crowd. Lebron is also seen in many commercials and is sponsered by Nikeand is early in hiscarrer. LeBron James will soon become the best in the NBA.

I think that Derek Jeter is the world's most popular athlete. He is on the best baseball team in history, and was an instant hit since he came up in 1996. Everyone loves him and he has became the face of baseball. Even if you hate him, you still know Derek Jeter and always associate him with the Yankees. He is one of the biggest marketing athletes and can always draw in a lot of money.

I think LeBron James is the most marketable athlete in the world. Mostly everyone knows his name, and hes a very good ball player. He has many fans, and many supporters. LeBron James is still a very young player and still has much of a career before him. Experts are predicting that he will go far in basketball, and he's proving them right. He has much of the credit of getting his team to the NBA playoffs. He has also signed several sponsorship deals with major companies like Nike, Bubble Gum, Sprite, and Powerade."I told myself if I ever made it to the level I want to be at, I'm going to give back". He is a man of great wealth and says he will give back to his community as he stated.

I think the basketball player LeBron James would be a good player that is easy to market. Playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers and he was rookie of the year. Now that basketball season is apporching, him marketing something could be a very popular aprouch. He has shown great love for his community for giving as much back as he can. He already has
signed severl sponserships with differnt compaines.He is a younger player and still has a great futer ahead of him.

Derek Jeter is one of the best baseball players ever! Derek is a great hitter and an amazing fielder. He is so young and and has so much talent. Alomost every year he is in the running to become the MVP or a Gold Glove winner. Every one knows his name.

I think the most marketable athlete in the world is Babe Ruth. He is possibly the most popular athlete in all of world sports history. He is well known in Japan and the U.S. And almost all of the time the average baseball fan or even just the average person will have heard of him.
