          Rule #1 and only be honest!

          My opinion:
          Soccer #1
          Fishing
          Golf
          Track and Field (Athletics)
          basketball
          swimming (Acquatics)
          Baseball
          Football
          ect.

          These after all are presumptions

          I might be wrong but I think it’s second or third, topped by soccer and maybe basketball.

          fishing is hardly a sport, and i don't see how it could be ranked above track and field.

          It is? I don't think it's a sport and I don't think it's a good time 😀

          I actually am a fan of soccer. Not the MLS our soccer here in the US sucks but we do have Beckham now so that might turn some things around. I find the World Cup extremely entertaining. I did vote for Track and Field as number 3 though. I love it and of course it is my #1 but in the world I would have to  say it's behind Soccer of course because it is played everywhere and then #2 for the world I would have to say is Baseball. The American passtime is huge nowadays in South America, Japan, China, Korea, United States, Canada, and Central America.
