RE: ADSactly Sports - The World's game: The Real "Football"

in #sports7 years ago

Clearly football (soccer). No one cares about American football or the super bowl outside of the USA, although it is growing in popularity.

Football is played in every country and has massive coverage for EPL, La Liga and Serie A etc.

Football is popular because only a ball is needed to play. It is a game of skill, where ball control is far more important than physical conditioning. People of all body types and heights can play soccer.

Mhh, great info. I would also have expected Tennis and maybe cycling on the charts.
American Football is a great sport, if you do understand it. It is like playing chess with great athletes trying to hurt each other as much as possible!
There is a reason that not so many games are played during the regular season, their bodies just can't cope with more games!
Once you do appreciate the games, you will discover the beauty of it. Bot for most people it is unknown and therefor unloved!

That is a great representation. Tennis, field hockey and volleyball are very high in world popularity as well. The popularity of table tennis is amazing to me. Asia has a massive population though.
