Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, RIP

Brazilian soccer legend Pelé has died at age 82.

"Pelé is one of the few who contradicted my theory," Andy Warhol once said. "Instead of 15 minutes of fame, he will have 15 centuries."

From the New York Times:

Celebrated for his peerless talent and originality on the field, Pelé (pronounced peh-LAY) also endeared himself to fans with his sunny personality and his belief in the power of soccer — football to most of the world — to connect people across dividing lines of race, class and nationality.
