Who Would You Be ?

There are only 4 major spectator sports....unless you are including golf or auto racing. Volleyball, Lacrosse, soccer, have not crossed the threshold into being major yet.

Bj Penn or Connor Shaw, either one. even Aldo or Big Rig Johnny Hendricks would be cool.

What are you talking about. What does that have to do with what is a "major sport" in this country. Just because a sport calls itself "Major League" doesn't make it so. If that were the case, then the MLL would be considered a major sport. Or the MISL.

u still missed it. maybe you failed to recognize the sport at all with it being less than 30 years old, or perhaps intentionally omitted it...regardless you seem to not have recognized any of the names and/or also lacked the knowledge or interest to google any of them, although currently incredibly mainstream and relevant. it's not my job to promote the UFC, Dana White does a good enough job himself...and while i'm sure you are aware of it, you obviously have no interest in it so i will pass and instead rest my case. but it's certainly worthy of being top 5, not just in the States but also in the world.

you embarrass yourself. biweekly ppv's, on like season 10 of TUF...it's not about attendance in a civic arena or winner's purse, it's about draw and gate earnings. it's brutal and taboo and has a lot to overcome and probably never be on the major networks due to it. nor could any of the top 10 in ur link ever sell a ppv aside from pro wrestling. but that's ok, keep visiting ur national parks and recanting history, nothing wrong w variety...u got ur thing and i got mine. and ur link showed me nothing except boxing didn't even get mentioned and that it's content was based upon "our source of information is the websites which are being searched or browsed most in America." nice.

Your thing is a minor niche sport....and that is fine if that is what you like.
But its not about any money issue....it is about what people want/like. (The chart was as of Jan. 2015)
And even if it is about money.....a basically dying sport still broke the bank over what MMA does.

Michael Jordan. Not for the loot, chicks, or golf. But for the unequaled ability to absolutely pwn anybody that checked him. He's the GOAT - and it's not even debatable. LeBro...who? Puh-leeze.

How is "Olympics" a sport?

Sporting events.

The title of the graph says "Most Popular Sports Among American Adults" ............ "My favorite sport is Olympics!"...

Between the Men's WC last year, the Women's WC this year, the 2016 Copa America tourney being held in the US, (and potentially the 2022 WC), growing popularity of the EPL, growing popularity and expansion of the MLS, bringing older overseas stars to the MLS, shifting US demographics to ethnicities that watch soccer, etc etc etc
Among 12-24 year old in the US, Messi is their 4th favorite athlete and Ronaldo is their 7th.
Or this graphic from a few years ago, showing Pro Soccer as the 2nd favorite sport among 12-24 year olds
Soccer is growing in popularity in this country, whether some want to admit it or not.
On the other hand....
On the other hand Baseball is dying a slow death. The average fan is getting older and older as kids today become less interested in the sport. I find the sport incredibly boring, and look forward to it becoming much less relevant. Watching the same Top 10s all summer, a variation of maybe three different plays in baseball, gets incredibly old...

Baseball is exciting compared to soccer, in my opinion. And a true American sport.

Damn... all of those graphs and numbers... and it was the last post on the page, lol

Golf is not a sport, unless you want to include pool, darts, poker or Jenga to the conversation.
I'd be Anderson Varejao so I could lay around collecting ten million dollars a year knowing full well that I'd never have to play more than 13 games a season for the rest of my shit soaked career.
I'd count my money and laugh and laugh mumbling "there's one born every second" under my unbearable Brazilian breath.

smells like coffee and ass?
dude, you are hilarious!

Keep trying soccer fag.
See the graph, soccer is LAST in popularity among the demographics that count.....and that would be "Americans".
But...I will give you this to ponder: Why in hell are we getting so much freaking English/European soccer. Sure, its premier over there....but if In fact I do want to watch soccer....which is rare...I want to see the MLS. (Is it "minor" in comparison? Maybe....but it is our North American league.
I am more interested in if NY, Chicago, LA, Dallas/Portland/Seattle...even Columbus and what they do than I am interested in what Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham...or who the fuck ever is doing. Half of those teams aren't even towns/cities. I don't know what they are.
Here we want city vs. city. Pittsburgh vs. Cleveland, Boston vs. NY, Chicago vs. Detroit. At least, to me, there would be more interest in those matchups.
The only thing comparable that I could tell that exists there would be like a Manchester vs. Liverpool match.

EPL has the all stars. They are a better product. That is why. MLS is improving, but isn't at that level. Without a local team to root for, I'd want to watch the best players and the best product.
I'll have to look over the source of your graph again (where someone's favorite sport can be "Olympics"). Either way, what about all of the data I presented? Do you disagree with the notion that baseball is dying and soccer is growing?

That doesn't do it for me. The best cricket players come from Pakistan and India....that doesn't mean I would not rather watch American cricket (if such a thing existed)
Perhaps I am spoiled as we know that the world's best baseball/football/basketball/hockey players play here.
Nevertheless...I would still much rather see the North American competition.

Yes, partially I do. I think that is just your brain at work...not the reality. While soccer is growing...it is not growing at the rate you think....and I don't think baseball is dying....at all.
I mean....10/20/50 times more people still go to see baseball than go to see soccer in the country. Maybe you just wish it were so.
Michigan just won the Big Ten baseball title. I expect more were interested in that than if they won the Big Ten soccer title.
Look I went to a college that recently won a soccer National Championship.....and which was probably the most significant team sports title this area has seen since the Browns won in 1964. That still would not get me to say that baseball is dying.
(And "The Olympics" is in fact a major spectator sport event...that is highly popular. My wife will watch "The Olympics" more than any other sporting event on TV...so don't be snide"
