NFL is the most popular sport in the US, no question. Football (the American kind) in general is suffering a long death.

I personally prefer baseball above all. NBA and college basketball and football also rank high on my list.

That surprised me too, actually. I'm honestly not sure how scientific or accurate that ranking is, though.

Ahhh, do you play Badminton gerg?

Though I wouldn't consider it a traditional sport, I would say Pro Wrestling (ex:WWE) is still fairly popular.

NFL is fine, but the left is trying to kill it.

^^^^^ Take a poll on whether a parent will or not let their kids play youth football and you would probably see a precipitous drop. I wouldn't do that to my kid. The talent pool will dry and eventually the product will suffer.

NFL is making as much money as ever, which is why I said fine. I would let my kid play ball, it's mostly stupidity that causes parents to say no as it's mostly touch football on a low level from what I have seen. Not NFL level full on contact, and for places where it is those need to shift to touch and not tackle, as tackle should be reserved for higher levels.

There is a very simple trick to determine whether a sport is popular in America or not. Is it boring as ****? Then it is popular in America. Never fails.

Football is far and away the most popular american sport to watch. Honestly, I never understood why people liked watching baseball. It's fun to play, but boring as **** to watch. But what do I know, Hockey is my favorite sport.
