    Football by far

    Followed by Baseball & Basketball
    My drinking team has a hockey problem

    The ONLY thing better than a glass of beer is tea with Miss McGill

    different regions/areas have different trends, but in terms of overall popularity I would say they rank like this:
    1. American Football
    2. Basketball
    3. Baseball

    I think soccer is further down the list...maybe after Professional Dodge Ball

    I don't know much about American football ( don't like it to tell you the truth) but can't you drink at it? What about the other two and hockey drinking wise?

    My mate went to a game once and he was wasted by the end of it.

    Is there so much rasmatase surrounding in American football because the game isn't that great?

    As far as revenue and TV ratings go... the big three are:

    1. NFL - Football
    2. MLB - Baseball
    3. NBA - Basketball

    NHL - Hockey is on a rebound but I don't think it gets much more ratings than figure skating. It will eventually I presume, although TV does the sport no justice. I love the NHL more than any sport when I go to see a game in person.

    MLS - Soccer (football) is probably last behind professional eating. Sad but true. I like the sport myself, but I seem to only really have fun watching during the World Cup.

    football i think without question. as for hockey being popular at all, i think golf has more viewers or those stupid poker games.
