The GOAT Vote

Our Selection Methodology: 

First, we evaluated and ranked the top 15 sports in the world, using a proprietary and complex formula that combines the sport's popularity, participation levels, and an athletic difficulty rating. These 15 sports have as many as four and as few as two GOAT candidates. We then rounded out the Top 50 list with five wild card selections from other sports, with athletes deserving a place on the list.

(No, Joey Chestnut did not get one of the wildcard slots.)
