When you look at the citizens of the United States, there are several sports that seem to be much more popular than others.

The most popular sports in the United States today, being watched live and on screens, are:
1. Baseball is one of the top sports being played in the United States. Having been played in the United States the longest, baseball attracts millions of fans to ball fields every year.

What a great feeling when you see your child hit the ball or score a run! As the old song goes, ˆTake me out to the ball game!˜. When it comes to sports, professional and amateur, baseball is ranked right up there at the top. 2. Football began as a college sport in the United States in the mid 1800s. Football is truly the ˆAmerican Sport˜, since it is played in the United States exclusively. It has grown from being played only in college to having professional teams and being played by students in both elementary and high schools. The Super Bowl is one of the most watched television events when it comes to sports, and it determines which one of the many professional football teams will be considered the best for that year!
3. Basketball is a popular sport worldwide. The number of people around the world playing basketball can reach a staggering 300 million! Basketball is one of the only professional sports in the United States to welcome foreign players onto teams, with many players of professional basketball being recruited from other countries and brought to the United States to play. 4. Hockey is one of the newer sports gaining popularity with the American public. It did not originate in the United States, but it has found its way into our sporting life and become one of the fastest growing sports. Ice hockey is the most popular form of this sport, with street hockey being popular with older kids everywhere.
You may be asking ˆWhere is golf and soccer on this list?˜ Well, although both sports are gaining in popularity, neither one meets the level of fans of the sports listed above.
