An American sport question

[mapuc]

I asked this question in the NFL-thread before, I erased it ´cause I didn't felt it was the right place to put it, so I made a new thread.

Here is my question:

Which American sport is most popular ?

When it comes to:

1. Spectator(s)
is it
a)American football(NFL) ?
b)American Baseball(MBL) ?
c)American Basket(NBA) ?
d)Ishockey

When it come to
2. Those practice those sport
Is it
See the list above.

I'll give you an example from Sweden

Football Vs Ishockey

When it comes to spectators there are a little plus for Ishockey,* when it comes to those who practice these sport there is a huge plus for football.

* Have seen many video clip from some Swedish football match where the stadium was not even half full and In almost every clip from the SHL(Swedish Hockey league) or lower division there was almost filled up

I think auto racing has the most spectators, at least that's what they claim

I'm guessing at the answers to these.
Auto racing may have the largest "stadiums," but it doesn't have events every day of the week through all age groups at thousands of venues at a time. My guess for most spectators is basketball. It has the longest season, and because of considerable infrastructure dedicated to it, it has seasons of some level year round.
I think I read that soccer (football to rest the world) is the most popular for participation.

All of those sports and auto racing are very much followed depending on the season. People watch golf and tennis too.

Then there are those that like to watch the cockroach races but then again, those people just like to see cockroach crashes.

Only sports I follow are tennis and the Green Bay Packers.

At present I would have thought Politics

It's certainly looking like a sporting event atm

Keep in mind that a small football stadium would hold 30,000 people, for bigger European teams it is 60K - 100k. A large hockey rink would hold 18K - 22K. So in some cases a half full football stadium is more people than a full hockey rink.
