What is this word " Soccer "?
Personally, I like all American sports. Even Baseball!

I though that football was now one of the most highly participated sports for little kids in the U.S now. I quite like baseball when im having a smoke, its quite slow paced and allows me enough time to smoke a couple of doobs and cook and eat munch untill its over.
The best sport in the world is unfortantly rugby, thats a pretty international sport these days. Americas been making pretty strong progress over the years, the American Canada matches are usually very good, America have been closing the gap between them and Canada of late.
Being from the U.S, I would say the top 3 sports are most definitely baseball, basketball, and football. By football I mean the kind where the guys beat the shit out of each other and score touchdowns. Soccer really isn't catching on (at least not in my 29 years here) and I don't know a single person who has ever played rugby.

Man you should check rugby out, it does make american football look a but wussie-ish. The lads proper hit each other these days, theres punch ups most matches and its played with a passion at international level which ive only seen matched at the all ireland hurling match i went to in croke park when offaly were playing. No padding involed with rugby either, its just a full on proper game played at huge amounts of pace with no stopages.
EDIT : although the recent NFL game at wembley was pretty damn good in terms of atomsphere and the actual game that took place.

lol this is our point, how can u call that football, no skill with footwork involved whatsoever, maybe if it was called something like Throw and runball we would understand, as for Rugby, just an imitation sport for all the rather large men 2 play and believe they have some kind of talent!!!

They kick it a few times in the game. That's gotta count for something!
I gotta go with boxing as the best sport, followed by football & baseball.

Boxing is actually as big as it's ever been, going back the past few years.
Alot of good, young fighters have emerged, big megafights are being made on the regular and, thanks to the struggling economy, more & more big fights are being kept off PPV in favor of "free" cable bringing in more fans.
MMA is here to stay but I can't really get into it. When they stand and punch it's alright but when they start wrestling and holding on the ground it just comes off as incredibly boring. And very, very gay.
