I wish our girls still played field hockey. That is a legit chick sport.
In a lot of places it's a legit guy sport too.
But back on topic:

You'd feel like a dumbass playing American Football in a non-supervised environment, surely? That shit has no flow. Are kids around the world gonna spend 5 minutes organizing themselves for 10 seconds of running straight into each other? They got too much energy and endurance for that
Plus it's not like soccer where there are skills you can practice outside of playing the actual game either
% of poor people. they can't play football, soccer on the other hand, any 3rd world kid can kick around a pebble and call it soccer. makes perfect sense when you think about it.
lol at people not knowing the "i am indian and let me tell you" copypasta.
So, by the same token, should we asume Sumo is pretty popular in the islands, having in mind that this tiny country has made one ozeki and one yokozuna? Or would it be safer to asume that this is a tremendously strong people, posibly the strongest people in the world per capita (which also explains why tiny Tonga and Samoa rutinely qualify for the Rugy World Cup and are among the leading nations of Rugby Seven) born with the natural gifts to play AF?Oh yeah, perfect sense.
So a place like American Samoa, which, per capita, produces more NCAA Division 1 and NFL players than anywhere in the mainland US must be swimming in money, with all the kids busting out their pads and helmets to play.
Oh wait,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Samoa#Economy
$8,000 per capita GDP. Or about 1/6 that of the US.
Bunch of poor kids playing and excelling at football?? Impossibru!
Im gonna go on a limb and say that AF is only played at (U.S related) High Schools facilities and that rugby and soccer are more popular on"the streets" of AMerican Samoa - which in turn highlits the limited set of skills needed to make it in the NFL(the same situations would be imposible in soccer).
Another ignorant comment, as expected from Breakitdown, dude always deliver.
The hate table-tennis gets in an mma site like Sherdog baffles the mind. Of all the non fighting sports, table tennis is probably - from a striker perspective - the closest to combat sports. And not only for the lightning fast reflexes, and hyperfast deliverance; its footwork - which often goes unnoticed by the limited vision of the usual sherdogger - is utterly amazing. Theres certainly much to appreciate in table tennis for the mma connoiseur.

lmfao
India is a pretty can country when it comes to athletics.
Who's the greatest athlete in Indian history, and what sport did he play?
I can see Soccer being #1 but Football being #10? What is this based off of?
What a bunch of Bullshit. You couldn't fill a 10k arena to watch volleyball anywhere in the world.
They forgot to poll boxing. I guess they didn't want to push soccer to #2.

Hell, I love baseball, but I don't understand how it, or basketball, could be above American Football.
Because they are both way more popular worldwide than American football. Baseball is huge in the Caribbean, South America and East Asia.
I thought this was common knowledge.
Oh, yeah. Logic and all that.
