The official top 20 sports in America!
Now i know you probably won’t disagree with the top 5 of these, but what would you do about the rest?
- American Football – This may be the obvious one but its true.
- Baseball – A sport that nobody knows how to play, unless you already know how to play it.
- Basketball – Most famous in America but played all over the world by almost half a billion people.
- Hockey – Americans fully appreciate this sport, and it is a massive crowd bringer.
- Golf – It doesn’t take much to realise where the boom happened, it was Mr Woods.
- Wrestling – A huge sport, many Americans tune in to watch this.
- Tennis – Americans can go to almost any country in the world and win something in this sport.
- 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 – Is starting to catch up with Wrestling, but needs more time and more frequent fights.
- Soccer- Although no where near as big as American Football, still a growing sport.
- Archery – Well when you have the likes of Geena Davis, your guaranteed to get a medal.
- Volleyball – Now I am not entirely sure who invented Women’s Volleyball but i would like to shake their hand.
- Cycling – A Strong and athletic sport, but never really took hold of the nation.
- Track and Field – Up until recently the Americans have completely dominated Track and Field events at the Olympics.
- Horse Racing – Great for all to watch and the Americans have turned it into a massive sport industry.
- Rock Climbing – This is a great sport, and fun for everyone even indoors, Alain Robert has helped things out with this.
- Extreme Sports – The sports in this category have always grasped the nation, not always in a good way.
- Auto Racing – This is hard to Rank, but it is different from State to State.
Are these the sports you would have suggested? Should they be in a different order? What a great way to find out – try Las Vegas holidays or New York holidays to really find out
