American Sports
One of America’s favorite pastimes is watching a sports game – on television, live at the stadium, or in the park. Football and baseball are the most popular in the U.S., but there are many other options from professional, minor league, and college sports teams, like soccer, hockey, basketball, and tennis. NASCAR is also a hugely popular sport in certain sports in the United States, particularly in the Southeast and Midwest areas.
