Which sports are most popular in America? Here are what is supposed to be the top 20!
Now i know you probably won’t disagree with the top 5 of these, but what would you do about the rest?
- American Football – of course, been around since the 1800’s.
- Baseball - One of the longest running sports in America, a revamp of Cricket.
- Basketball - Taken very seriously by the Americans and the Russians, but bigger in America.
- Hockey - All over America people tune in or travel to see these matches, some great games to be seen.
- Golf - Always considered a posh mans sport, and it is, except Tiger Woods really set it off for everyone.
- Wrestling - Americans gather in their millions to watch this, but is it a real sport.
- Tennis - Well, Venus and Serena kind of say it all really, plus the likes of Roddick.
- Skateboarding - America launched this sport from nothing to everything, now being taken up around the world.
- Surfing - Was really brought to the world by America.
- Ice Skating - A very big American sport, also big in Russia too, these are great competitors.
- Boxing - Immense, probably my favourite, but needs a bit more TV time.
- Soccer- Although no where near as big as American Football, still a growing sport.
- Archery - This seems to be something the Americans have excelled in, they have got a massive amount of medals from it.
- Volleyball - Now I am not entirely sure who invented Women’s Volleyball but i would like to shake their hand.
- Cycling - A great sport, America has yet to fully embrace it.
- Track and Field – Americans have always produced fast and athletic runners, lately they are coming up against hard competition though.
- Horse Racing - This is never going to be a dying sport, as long as we have horses we will be racing them.
- Rock Climbing - An American Past Time, although not as much as other activities, this is tried by a lot of people.
- Extreme Sports - The kind of sports where you know that you could die.
- Auto Racing - If i were to mention all of them, they would take up most of the list, but bring on Monster Truck.
Are these the sports you would have suggested? What do you think of the top 5? What a great way to find out – try Las Vegas holidays or New York holidays to really find out
