So if I write poems and songs praising Messi, Ronaldo and other modern athletes I might become a celebrated poet in some centuries?

Sure why not. It’s not a bad idea actually

No, spiritually and culturally modern athleticism is very different to ancient, not to mention a soccer player is spoiled and does so little in contrast to the games winners.

Sounds fucking based to me.

They have to be great poems, though.

This is correct. The Chad is the cancer of nihilism.

football is hardly comparable to any ancient sport
I'd rather stare into emptiness for 2 hours than to watch a full soccer game.

Remember all the glory days
When Zinedine Zidane had his ways
Someone talked shit
But then he got hit
Zidane's head butt had shown him his place

You might but probably not. The canon is already well-established. You'd be competing against the Messis and Ronaldos of poetry.
