    Is it Major League Baseball or the National Football Leage?

    What I mean is what do you think is bigger in the United States? Avery and I had this argument, he thinks its baseball I say football. He said if you ask eveyrbody they'll say baseball. And I think its easily football.

    Baseball is America's past-time, but with all the steroid controversy and everything, I'm sure it's popularity has taken somewhat of a hit.

    Either way, I would have said football anyways. Most people enjoy kicking back on the couch on Sundays and watching football than watching baseball.

    My vote: football.

    I know thats right NFL on Sundays is legendary!

    Also turn on your TV. When is the last time you say baseball endorsing a major product or company.

    A lot of the beer commercials are football related, pizza commercials, there is so much more, oh yah who could forget those peyton manning commercials!

    I think the great thing about the NFL is it’s schedule they don’t have those 82, 100 something game schedules like baseball, bball, and even hockey do so it makes it easier for them to advertise their product once a week instead of a NBA or baseball guy who has to advertise like six games a night or something along those lines.

    The Super Bowl alone proves why NFL is the more popular sport.

    yeah. haha. i was just being sarcastic with my post. lol. i do think that football is the most popular sport in the US because what other sport do you find billions of people having parties for? baseball was the all time favorite back then, but now, if you go to my school, most people dont give a crap about baseball. lol.


    btw, on my post, i meant to say room, not ruin. lol.

    In the world, soccer dominates.

    baseball = number 1 american past time. overall baseball is perfered more by americans well at least it appears that way. george bush was the GM of the Rangers. the superbowl GAME is more popular but overall it's baseball.

    Baseball by a landslide. The only reason why football might appear more popular is the over saturation you get during the NFL season. It's only 17 weeks for the regular season. Also you have to factor in the gambling aspect, a lot more people bet on football than any other sport.

    However, baseball is by far the most popular sport.
