Soccer icon Pelé has died after a battle with cancer...
From CNN
Pelé, the Brazilian soccer legend who won three World Cups and became the sport’s first global icon, has died at the age of 82.
“Everything that we are, is thanks to you,” his daughter Kely Nascimento wrote in a post on Instagram, under an image of family members holding Pele’s hands. “We love you infinitely. Rest in peace.”
Pelé was admitted to a hospital in São Paulo in late November for a respiratory infection and for complications related to colon cancer. Last week, the hospital said his health had worsened as his cancer progressed. He died on Thursday from multiple organ failure due to the progression of colon cancer, according to a statement from Albert Einstein Hospital.

The Brazilian's only embraced him because he put them on the map for excellence. They are another country that's color struct. He will go down in history for his contribution to soccer and breaking the color line.
Color stuck? Yes, and so was Pelé.
Pele was an icon who did like someone wrote, broke the colour line.....used his talent to blend all Brazilians together
Best ever
