2023-04-27 12:19" Pelé " is now a word for " someone out of the ordinary " as the three-time World Cup winner's name is listed as a new adjective in the Portuguese version of Mie's dictionary.
Earlier this month, the Pele Foundation and Sportv launched the ' Pelé in the Dictionary ' campaign to pay tribute and recognize his contributions to areas beyond sport.
The former player's name, who died last December , is now in the dictionary after reaching more than 100,000 signatures .
" Pelé cannot be compared to anything or anyone in terms of quality, value or superiority, just like Pele , " the dictionary entry posted at the Summit Sports event in Pacaembu on Wednesday .
" Edson Arantes do Nascimento , considered the greatest athlete of all time; extraordinary, incomparable, unique. Example: He's the Pele of basketball, she's the Pele of tennis, she's the Pele of Brazilian theater, he's the Pele of medicine . "
Bailey's family received a plaque with the entry, which Michaelis has included in his digital edition. This definition will also be included in the next printed edition.
"Bailey's campaign in the dictionary was one of the most creative events we've ever been a part of. … His name being in the dictionary is his," said Joe Fraga, executive director of the Bailey Foundation. A very important part of the legacy that will keep Bailey alive forever.
