What are your favourite sports?

Soccer's always been a part of American school sports, so of course people are playing it. I just don't see it overtaking any of the big three in regards to its spectator status. It's just usually no fun to watch, unless one has a strong cultural connection with it, and that's just not there in the U.S.

With an average attendance of over 18,000 per game, MLS has the third highest average attendance of any sports league in the U.S., and is the seventh highest attended professional soccer league worldwide.

I like how the thread got sidetracked because Mister Adequate found a hilarious tweet and decided to copy-paste it here. xD

edit: since it's already sidetracked: I think soccer is a pretty big deal here, it's just that American Football and the like are an even BIGGER deal.

I was referring to TV viewership. People will go to games even if they don't enjoy the sport. Maybe that's an American thing.

I could be wrong, I just don't see it catching up with the big three. Or in the U.S., the big four if you count NASCAR.
