Which sports do you guys follow? How many sports from the top 10 sports list do you watch

When I grew up in the 60s...Baseball was king, boxing was second and NFL was third

Now, the NFL is undisputed king and nobody cares about boxing. Baseball is mostly followed by old farts

Yeah, after Floyd Mayweather retired no one really watches boxing anymore

Boxing is coming back, you wait and see. MMA is played out as a spectator sport.

It may come back (boxing), but I dont think it will ever be as big or as popular as in the past (in the Mike Tyson, Ali days)

The map is wrong.

 

[Desperado]

Football both college and Pro and motor sports

 

[DGS49]

I watch, in order of time and enjoyment,

1. MLB

2. Men's tennis

3. PGA

4. Pro bowling

5. NBA

I live in a world where football is king, but the only thing that even shows up on my radar is when the Steelers have a good game - after the fact. To me, the best thing about football is that it frees up the golf courses on weekends in the Fall.

 

[LA RAM FAN]

Top ten list of most popular sports in the world + estimated number of fans
Soccer tops the list with 3.5 billion fans. But since this forum is mostly Americans, I'm guessing NFL or Baseball?

My favourite sports are MMA and boxing Neither are in the top 10 list of most popular sports. Whats yours? Is it on the list?

yep you guessed it. NFL football is the most talked about here in this section.for some reason very few people have an interest in baseball which you are correct on is the second most popular here.

yeah NFL is the most popular sport in america i think

at the start of the 19th century up till the the 90's,baseball was americans most popular sport in the states always called americans favorite pastime but the owners and players really ruined the game so football is much more popular now.Its is much bigger now than it used to.the players and owners have ruined it as well but since it is only played once a week,it is much bigger than baseball.

Football became more popular when they started doing a better job televising it

I remember watching the NFL and AFL in the 60s. They had maybe two camera's to show the game, mostly from the 50 yard line. There were no "instant replays" and between snaps you got to watch the team in the huddle. At halftime, you got to watch a marching band
Monday Night Football came around, they turned it into an event

Baseball was never the "national pastime." TALKING ABOUT BASEBALL was (arguably) the national pastime. At the time when this was declared, the number of people who actually watched baseball was relatively miniscule. There were a limited number of teams, and they were all in a relatively small quadrant of the country (Boston to Chicago, and south to DC), but it was written about extensively, and people (MEN) liked to talk about it. There was no baseball in California, Texas, the Northwest, or the Southeast.

Football combines the worst things about men and America. Gratuitous violence, committee meetings (huddles), and athleticism. Now it promotes narcissism among the players, mostly "Black" players. If the sport of football were abolished, the only negative effect would be an increase in the crime rate.

Baseball was the National Pastime
Those cities that didn't have MLB followed their minor league teams religiously
Those that didn't have minor league teams rooted for the local town or factory team
If your town didn't have a team, you couldn't wait for the barnstormers

#1 Baseball-Golf (tied)
#2 WC or Premier League Soccer (facsinating, edge of seat non-stop excitement)
#3 College Basketball-College Football (less and less every year, big money ruined it)
#4 NBA Basketball-NFLFootball (coming back a bit to NFL)


I played all sports. Once I played soccer at middle age I realized.....it is not a sissy game. All sizes, colors equal. Run Run Run.........better be in shape, avoid kicks, collisions, trips. painful. Soccer is American Basketball on grass w/o any rest.

What a pathetic, pussified point of view.

how can you possibly come back to the NFL? this is the WORST possible time to want to come back to it. the cheatriots have tainted the sport with deflategate,they are not true winners and Goddel always has his head up Krafts ass. they are the kennedys of the NFL.Rich spoiled brats that get away with scandal after scandal that other teams get punished for if they commit the same offense.

plus the fact all the other owners are not speaking out on this its pretty obvious they are all in on it together. They have created the biggest scandal in sports history since the black sox scandal. they get special treatment all the time for their punishment. a mere first round draft pick all the time. big wow.first round picks dont pan out half the time.major punishment there. Brady getting a mere four game suspension. wow thats major punishment.

That is why i stick to watching mostly old NFL games now.I will never watch another superbowl again unless it is the LOS ANGELES Rams.I did not watch it last year and wont be this year either.
