3. Basketball
4. Hockey
5. Soccer

<~ This, Football is #1. followed by Baseball @ #2. I hardly know anyone these days who interested in Basketball, but apparently there's still some fans around, I havn't watched a pro basketball game since Larry Bird and the Celtics were still winning championships.

Now you know one more. I prefer basketball among all the above sports but have to acknowledge that it isn't in the top 2 in the US.

I have no interest in Basketball, either Pro or College, and I can't remember the last time I watched a Baseball game. I've nearly lost all interest in Pro Football, but I still follow College FB, mainly my team = the Texas, Longhorns.

Boxing doesn't have huge fanbase like Football does, but make no mistake, boxing has millions of hardcore and casual fans and despite all the talk about it's demise, pro boxing is alive and well. For me, boxing is easily my favorite sport, something I can follow year around, unlike College FB, which is seasonal.
