Yeah its obvious soccer is the number one sport because it takes no money to play.That's the thing about hockey,its such an expensive game to play.That's why at least in my opinion you don't see many minorities playing. Its just too damn pricey
plus, it shows actual talent; if the ENTIRE world plays Soccer, how valuable is one Soccer player?
Because its expensive to play and takes a variety of skills.Hockey players are easily the most well rounded atheletes in sports.You won't find any out of shape players and their all physically strong and have to use their entire body
Hockey players are easily the most well rounded atheletes in sports.
LOL at some of the posts in this thread, seriously WTF Football (soccer) is the worlds most popular sport, thats pretty much common knowledge whether you wanna admit it or not, every continent in the world plays soccer, and another thing Quoteplus, it shows actual talent; if the ENTIRE world plays Soccer, how valuable is one Soccer player? your kidding me right? thats one of the most bollocks things ive read in a while.Soccers not a piss easy sport to play like you lot all seem to think and if it is then how come the US have no star players and the MLS is one of the worst leagues in the world? it takes more skill to play than Baseball and more skill than it requires to be one of the big fat guys blocking in NFL who need an oxygen mask after every 30 second play Another thing, Soccer isnt the only recognised sport played in Europe, thats just fucking retarded to even suggest that; Cricket/Rugby/Tennis/Athletic are all bigger sports in Europe than American Football/Baseball/Ice Hockey or Basketball, Americas 4 main sports are only played on a major scale in America, in Europe we got NFL but nobody cares for it, we got Ice Hockey but its not at all popular, shit Rounders (for girls) is more popular than Baseball over here, the most popular out of all your 'main' sports is BasketballSoccer is the most popular sport in the world because you don't have to go buy pads/helmets/iceskates for it or find a massive space of land to play Baseball, football is easy to pick up and play, the closest thing you've got to that is Basketball, while Soccers cheap to play for a kick in the park at a professional level it's expensive. You mentioned Sammy Sosa playing with crap equipment/conditions, do you realise how many greats equivalent to that there are in Brazil/Argentina? Where they learn to play in slums in shanty towns barefooted etc etc And these are the two most successful countries at National level, your telling me theres no talent in that And lol at you all saying Soccer is boring, American Football/ Basketball have stoppages damn near every other minute, and all i will say about Baseball and Hockey is theres a reason people get drunk when they watch it...o and you know sports betting is allowed in other countries apart from the great America And if you google it....Most Frequently Cited Ranked Lists1) Football. 3.3-3.5 Billion Fans.
