Currently, the article on sneakers mentions Thorpe in the same breath as Chuck Taylor as the Michael Jordans of their era. Upon cursory CTRL+Fing, there seems to be absolutely nothing in this article on shoes, footwear, sponsorships, &c. Should this be removed from over there? or is something important still missing here? or is it already here and just phrased a little too obliquely?
Amid all the racism,
...The U.S. market for sneakers grew steadily as young boys lined up to buy sneakers endorsed by football player Jim Thorpe...
@LlywelynII: Unfortunately I suspect it was either made up or perhaps a different person was intended. I don't know much about the subject of this article beyond what's on his page and I wouldn't be surprised if some major things are missing from here. It's very difficult to text-search for Jim Thorpe-endorsed footware because of the stolen shoes incident but I couldn't find any evidence for it on a quick check. The offending text was added to the sneaker article in this edit in 2015, which was derived from this June 2009 edit to Athletic shoe, which in turn came from this February 2009 edit to the page now at "Sneaker collecting". The entire contribution history of the user who added that text is summed up in this series of edits. The closest thing to a smoking gun I can find is that in a Google Books search of the most recent biography of Thorpe in the further reading section, there are no results whatsoever for "sneakers" and all the results for "shoes" are irrelevant. I'm confident enough that it's mistaken that I'll remove Thorpe from the sneakers page myself. Graham8716:36, 1 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
I've removed mention of him from the Wikipedia articles about sneakers in Spanish and Finnish and asked for help in the Vietnamese Wikipedia about removing his name from there. I know basic Spanish grammar through Italian and the Finnish translation simplified the text enough so that I could do the removal myself, but neither of those things are true for the Vietnamese page.

List of teams Thorpe played and coached for is missing the Portsmouth Shoesteels, with which he was a player-coach. Is this for any particular reason? Trevbk (talk) 19:28, 7 December 2023 (UTC)Reply

In the box on the right, under "Career history," it's stated that Thorpe played for the Cleveland Indians. This is obviously incorrect. By simply mousing over the link, you can see that it's the Cleveland Tigers he played for. The mistake appears under both "As a player" and "As a coach." 207.38.136.166 (talk) 11:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
Graham is correct; when Thorpe played for them in 1921, they were known as the Indians, apparently because Thorpe and a couple other Native Americans joined the team if the article is accurate. Giants2008 (Talk) 17:19, 15 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
Origin of "You, sir, are the greatest athlete in the world"
Latest comment: 1 year ago1 comment1 person in discussion
It is first written in an article written by the The Red Man in 1912, that Thorpe was called the greatest athlete in the world by King Gustav, not 1948 or 1952, which this article currently states. See the following link:
An interesting question, but not one for here, This talk page is to be used only for discussing how to improve the article.
