Most popular sports in the United States...

Lots of sporting events lately....
NBA finals, world cup, and NASCAR in Milwaukee....
So, list the top five most popular sports in the USA:

some sports to chose from: baseball, basketball, football, soccer, NASCAR, tennis, volleyball, hockey and professional wrestling...

My top 5
1. NFL
2. MLB
3. NASCAR (would have put that second a few years ago)
4. NBA
5. Professional wrestling (I would have put that 4th 10 years ago, even 6)

Auto racing is my life so NASCAR would have to top my list by a long shot. I know, a liberal nascar fan? I've confused a lot of people with that.:-)

NASCAR and pro wrestling arent sports.

lol...
wrestling is sports entertainment...
the NBA isn't a sport either, but you didn't object to that one...

MLB above NASCAR? Surely you can't be serious, especially after Steroid-gate.

As for the NBA and pro rasslin', they're both as fixed as fixed can be.

I said which ones were more popular...
baseball TV ratings and attendance are at record highs...I don't think I asked what YOU personally like the best, but what was the most popular...
The brewers are getting 35K to 40K and they are not even a good team (around .500)
remember they play 81 games at miller park...
if there were 81 races at state fair park, would they all get 40K...and the answer is no

My top 5: NFL, MSL, Boxing, NCCA baseball, NCAA Basketball.
Nascar is not a sport, and neither is professional wrestling.

Pro basketball is a sport, its just full of jags. It was so nice to see only one jag(Shaq) in the entire finals, this year.

The Game said...

I still couldn't watch too much of the NBA finals.
I would put it on, see a bunch of BS calls, a lot of contact, and turn off...
but they did play the game of basketball the closest I've seen it played on an NBA floor in 10 years

Don't care if Nascar is a sport or not. It's the only thing similar I watch. They make money only if they perform. That should be a conservatives dream sport.

The Game said...

and it really is...where is it most popular...the place Dem's can't win a state...
and I think I should change the headline to sports/entertainment...than mylist is accurate

They would still pay if all the drivers did was rev their engines all day. Nobody watches that junk to see people take left turns for four hours.
