What professional sports are big in your country?

Here in American the NFL has the largest fan base among any other sport, but I know that alot of foreign people consider it stupid. I was just wondering what sport is really popular in the country that you live in.

In the United States I would hazard that jai-alai, cricket, and soccer probably have the largest followings.

This is true. The NFL is a fringe sport with a tiny cult-like following.

Footbal (Not soccer), basketball and baseball have the biggest followings here in the US. Soccer is a joke here IMO, all the news stations coming out of Seattle (I live in Washington) always talk about theSeattle SoundersFC and it sounds like complete BS. Who wants to watch a sport where they tie?

America=Football < Baseball

Im canadian and our big professional sport in our country is Hockey, Hockey and more Hockey

Indeed. They continue to resort to acts of great destruction by tipping over cars and setting fires on the tiniest whim so great is their anger over the unpopularity of their sport.

well here in wales, rugby is probably the biggest sport

Baseball has many more games in its season that are televised, but football has a much larger audience.

Hockey. Guess. awesomeface

Canada is quite a great plac eh? Unless you live in Sweeden but even then Eliteseren is pretty good

Football ("Soccer" that is, for you American types) is by far the most popular sport here in the UK. I'd say around 70% of all sports coverage is dedicated to football.

Well for the US it depends on the season. Football and Baseball are probably the 2 biggest though then Hockey and Basketball. I know NASCAR has a lot of fans to, I think the stadiums they race in can hold something like 100,000 people.

Well here in the U.S. Football and Baseball are the most popular,but Back in my country Soccer is the most popular,Soccer is the most popular sport in the world,and its growing here in the U.S. too,U.S. is in the fifa conf. finals btw I still cant believe they beat Spain(#1 country in the world) anyways good luck with Brazil in the Finals,and hopefully ppl with respect soccer here in the U.S. a little bit more,and I dont know why everyone thinks its a girl's sport, its really NOT...I mean why do you think soccer is the most popular sport in the world??

Hockey here in Canada

Football (Soccer), Cricket & Rugby are probably the main ones ... Formula 1 as well if that counts.69ANT69

Since I live in Canada, it is hockey. When i was in Elementaryalmost every kid except me played hockey and thats what we would play in gym. Almost everyone is a hockey fan here, me to Go flames go! But some people here never stop talking about hockey!
