Guest justin_3d Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Football is the number 1 sport in the world. You can bang on about cricket and ignore the point, but whenever one of these lists are produced (regardless of the source) football is always number 1.America Lost.But you don't have any credible source that says so...And even if you add up the numbers, the number of people looks like it goes above the actual World Population....

Henrique 9,133 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 this stats are stupid. Its based in number of people.English is most popular language in the world, but based in numbers its the mandarin, because you have more than 1 billion people speaking it.Cricket is no even close of being as popular as basketball, since in most countries people dont even know what it means.

In fact, most of the sports that America are renowned to be good at (e.g. Baseball, Basketball, NFL etc.) there's no means of franchise anywhere else in the world, apart from NHL (Ice Hockey). I know because the majority of the Swedish national hockey team players play their club hockey in the States.Football is worldwide, and FIFA has at least a football team for each country in the world.

Its based in number of people.English is most popular language in the world, but based in numbers its the mandarin, because you have almost 2 billion people speaking it.Cricket is no even close of being as popular as basketball, since in most countries people dont even know what it means.And not to mention that total world vote, seems to go above the human world population.....

Guest justin_3d Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 actually this whole discussion about boring and most popular sports is invalid.I was telling these dude, why some think Soccer is boring. And then they tell me all this crap.I have giving them perfect example of why some Americans think Soccer is boring.If you are stuck watching some poor game, that is as bad as a Italy vs New Zealand, then of course you are going to say is boring!But if you have a local league in your country like EPL, the view would be totally different!

I still yet to see definite prove that such a thing is popular. When you got just two country alone like China and India, that almost make 1/3 of the population, then those stats seem kinda weird to me.Your source are very bias, especially when you have something like this: 10) Basketball: Not more than 400 million fans (US, Canada mainly)US and Canada mainly???

Term-X 7,891 Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Don't try to discuss complex ideas here without causing controversy.So football (a sport which involves 32 countries in the world cup, and boasts over 3 Billion viewers) is not the number one sport in the world?People are willing only to read things like: "Terry has a great heart" "The press hates Chelsea" "I hate Arsenal".If my argument is void, then this is the case….The press hates Chelsea - Signed papers from each individual, stating they hate chelsea.Terry has a great heart - Scientist discovers Terry has unusually large heart.Football is the number one sport in the world - Viewing figures compared to other sports.Terminator X = FactsJustin = America is the best, end of.

You would have ignored the poll anyway, if it hadn’t been for cricket & rugby.You don’t need a sworn statement from a TV executive to prove football is the most popular sport.

And i never mention anything about Cricket & Rugby.The first problem i saw was with the number, and then with the choice number 10, i knew it was blatantly wrong and bias! Again, next time bring some reliable source! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
