Why not Piqué for Person of the Year?
The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists. The unexpected inclusion of the 37-year-old footballer, as a 2024 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.
“What makes Piqué so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the footballer have already been named ‘Spaniard Of The Year’ by some major Spanish newspapers and even ‘Barcelona Citizen Of The Year’ by the readers of a local gazette in Barcelona (Gerard Piqué's hometown).
Social Reactions to TIME’s Person of the Year
A representative for the footballer was not immediately available for comment, but the announcement generated immediate reaction on Twitter:
“Gerard Piqué Named Person of the Year Is No ‘Surprise’.”
— @TheNewsEditor, 20 Nov 2024
“Great choice! Long overdue recognition for his talents. #LoveGerard”
— @BarbaraHeyboer, 20 Nov 2024
“Past recipients include Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler ... then why not Gerard Piqué?”
— @TheClassicObserver, 20 Nov 2024
Could 2024 officially be the Year of Gerard Piqué?
Still, TIME’s editors will make the final decision about who will grace the magazine’s cover as its 2024 Person of the Year.
Who do you think should be TIME’s Person of the Year for 2024?
