Best Sports in the United States

Basketball is the best sport in the whole wide world. Its my favorite sport ever! I LOVE BASKETBALL! It kicks butt. Its beastly. Go Basketball!

Best sport in the U. S! Should be number one on the top ten list but second works well as well. I hope it gets to number one soon.

LOVE IT! Greatest sport in the world! That's why the Earth is shaped like a BASKETBALL it's so fun and amazing! Even people who don't even play it, watch it. It's that BADASS ;) BBALL FOREVER!

Basketball isn't fun and awesome

Football is number one. In my opinion should be voted to be the "american pass-time". The sport doesn't take hours for it to be played out like baseball, and rarely ends in low digit scoring like soccer or hockey. Its also a physical match up that's what makes it interesting. Ohh can someone also tell me the point behind a "error" in baseball, honestly it is the most pointless stat in the book.

Its time for baseball to hand done the title of "America's favorite pass time". It got that title before any other sport was invented and has been coasting on that ever since.

I am sorry but football leads all GO RAVENS BENGALS STEELERS BROWNS TEXANS COLTS TITANS JAGUARS PATS DOLPHINS JETS BILLS BRONCOS CHARGERS RAIDERS CHIEFS PACKERS VIKINGS BEARS LIONS FALCONS PANTHERS SAINTS BUCCANEERS REDSKINS GIANTS COWBOYS EAGLES 49ERS SEAHAWKS RAMS AND CARDINALS but most of all GO RAVENS

I love foot ball its my favorite sport to watch! I love it and hey I am a girl so this is saying a lot Watching football is way better than watching baseball or soccer those games go on forever and its boring-__- no one wants to stay quiet during a game you might as well call it golf. I will always love football no matter what and I love all the teams

Football is the best sport 4 the united state go seahawks!

Soccer is the most popular, the most played and the most watched sport in the world.

I've played soccer most of my life I love it. All sports are great but I prefer soccer, and so does most of the world. People say soccer isn't rough but it is when a ball hits you in the face anywhere really it hurts also when you get kick tripped pushed elbowed etc. It is normally full speed and it hurts. So all said and done I love soccer

Love to play it love to watch it!

SOCCER IS THE BEST!

Gymnastics is very amazing try go doing a jump to the high bar kip cast to handstand fly off the bar and come back on then doing a kip cast to handstand push away double back flip twis. You know what I bet no one except gymnast know 100% of those skills and you probably know about 25% or less so if you think we are just girls who wear pretty old leotards and flick there wrists sometimes you have very wrong because at my gym we bleed sweat and hurt our selfs and guess what my coach says: tough go out there and try again if you don't why don't you go home, in other sports your coach probably say that you should sit down well at gymnastics that isn't really a choice. I would work 7 days a week to stay in gymnastics and some people do. Also if you think that the meets that we go to mean nothing those meets can get you into the Olympics, so gymnastics shouldn't be number six it should be number one because everyone thinks it is just another one of those sports but you know what it isn't! I ...more

I don't give a crap what you football, baseball, or hockey players think. We are just as strong and more than likely stronger than you. I swear, if you were to go to ONE level seven gymnastics practice, you would die. This isn't right. I lift weights at practice every single day. Even on weekends. You football players think three hours of practice five days a week is hard? Try five hours of practice six days a week. I only am allowed to get off Sunday practice because I have to go to church. And this is even during the school year! I have given up everything I know for gymnastics. All of my work money, all of my time, even my friends and going to normal school! I have to be home-schooled! Give me a break, #8? This isn't right! I don't care what you think, but the truth is that gymnastics is just harder than football, hockey, baseball, nascar, and pretty much anything else!

GYMNASTICS. IS. HARD. I am a level 8 and you NEED to be at practices 24/7. No its not like soccer, basketball, baseball, NO its if you don't come to practice.. YOU LOSE YOUR TRICKS. I missed a week one time. For a twisted ankle. I did not have my energy, my strength or my precision... I got SORE. I could barely get my splits back! You need to always be on 100 percent effort and concentration because you WILL fall, and you WILL hurt yourself, and you will cry and break down. Its a very difficult sport to like because all the practice hours and skill levels. Once these levels go up and you axel, it isn't just fun anymore. Its do it.. Or DIE. And yes... Its definitely harder than most sports, including FOOTBALL PEOPLE. OK? Ok.

Gymnastics is no. 1!

Swimming is ranked one if the toughest sports in the world. It is truly the best. It take mental and physical strength and is not just a skill you can pick up. A few football players at my school tried to swim one year. They quit after a day because they just couldn't take it. Swimming keeps you in top shape because it works more than any other sport. But it's not just a sport it's a lifestyle because what you do outside of the pool matters unlike other sports.

Why isn't in this list? We are The best swimmers in The world!
Swimming is a true sport and one of The most hardest of all!

Seriously, swimming's below football and dance? Dance is not even a sport. The United States is number one in the world at swimming.

Swimming is the most hard core sport ever

It's so much more than just hitting a ball back and forth, and many people don't understand that. It requires discipline, and good aim, but so much more as well. And whoever said football isn't hard isn't correct. My brother plays football and I've watched his practice before, and it is hard. I don't know if gymnastics is harder, but I think it is. It definitely builds up your pain tolerance and strength! I'm a level 7, and so far have broken a leg, a thumb, an arm, pulled a tendon, pulled a muscle, broken my tail bone, and broke my wrist. The uneven bars really did it for me...

Tennis is awesome! It's declared as the most popular individual sport in all the world and is difficult to learn. Since it is difficult to learn that makes it challenging! You run a lot and have a lot of fun! If you make shots that you didn't think you make, you love it! Long rallies are a lot of fun as well! I suggest to play tennis, because that's #1!

Many people just assume this is hitting a ball back and forth. No no no, there is much more to that. Tennis is one of the most complex and underrated sports. All tennis players are driven, and it is by far the toughest sport to play. With exceptions of doubles, you can't rely on anyone else. When you make mistakes, the only one to blame is yourself. It truly is a shame that a large majority of people refuse to try it because of what they assume it is. Tennis is the best sport, no questions about it.

I've played it before and it's really fun. - Fuli201

"Once you've wrestled, everything else in life is easy. "
-Dan Gable

may be the TOUGHEST sport out there

Why not football, baseball, or basketball? Because those sports only require one ball!

I'm only in 7th grade and the captain of the wrestling team. Did I mention I was a girl? Wrestling changed my life. It's a EXCELLENT way to stay in shape. Just release your anger out pon your opponent and go full force.

Take that off

Skateboarding is awesome but I don't think it could past football. But what really confuses me is to why people think racing is exciting maybe in the car it is and maybe street racing but those long 24 lap races get so boring its worse than golf got dizzle. Also gymnastics is a hard sport but its not the best among the people of the US. I think that boxing should be #3 or 4 at least because it has so mucj excitement also Cage fighting should be all the way up there. People who actually read this, Thank you - ballaboi17

Definitely a good sport, really how often do you hear of skateboarders dieing... Or on that note heatstroke, and concussions. Yes, skateboards do not dress properly but when you fall and get hurt you learn not to. Just like any sport you get hurt and fall down, break bones, and in general get hurt. If you do not feel confident, yes wear pads (suggested for younger children) but its never been a problem for me.

Skateboarding is a awesome past time but it is even better when you make YouTube videos doing tricks

Skateboarding is actually dangerous...

Volleyball is the BEST! I've played it for years! Everyone thinks it's so easy (especially football players) But truth is... It's REALLY challenging! It takes practice, and discipline! It has to be the #1 TEAM sport! Because it requires communication, building up of team mates, skill, concentration, and a short memory (because if all you think about is the mistakes you've made, it affects your performance! ) It's a tough sport, but it's worth it

I don't understand how volleyball I'd down in the 30s it should most definitely be up there with soccer cheerleading and football. What I really don't understand is how it isn't even about skateboarding!

Yea volleyball is hard, it needs passing, setting, hitting, serving, and countless other little techniques like communication and leadership. It's really fun because when you hit you can hit as hard as you can! What other sports can you do that in?

Volley ball is the best everthing else sucks

The fastest sport on two feet is also the fastest growing sport in america. If you take the tactics of basketball, the contact of football and hockey, the endurance of soccer, and the hand eye coordination of baseball, then you put it all on steroids, you have the greatest sport ever made.

I had a lacrosse stick in my hand when I was 18 months old. It just takes a lot of practice. I'm 9 years old and have played youth lax for 3 years now and had averaged 43 goals per season also as much assists

LAX is the top sport. So rough, fast, and a very mental game. Like hockey. If you don't like Lax, then you are retarded

I have been playing lax since u was 5 it besides soccer was the only sport I ever played. It is the toughest yet fasted and exciting game to be in or watch.Lax all the way!

This should be farther up on the list. This is honestly one of the best sports by far. It is more dangerous and challenging than any of the other sports. I know a lot of people can agree with me. I have been riding since I was 7 and I have never lost that"I love horses" stage. Whether you ride Western or English any equestrian can agree that horseback riding should be in 1st place!

HOW IS THIS NUMBER 9! Seriously it is probably the second hardest sport, (football might be harder) I think a lot of people-especially guys-think its is so easy it shouldn't even be considered a sport! Seriously try riding at a competitive farm for one week, I bet you will quit.

Horseback riding shouldn't be on the list at all. We're talking about best sport, or most popular. Because you think that it's difficult to do does not mean it belongs on this list.

I love horse back riding

Boxing is a sport that truly proves who is the strongest man

BOXING IS THE BEST SPORT! The way you get pumped up and your adrenaline is flowing like crazy is the best feeling you could get! & knowing you can defend yourself if you need to is good too.

How can foot ball be number 1 its damn boring boxing should at least be in the top 5

The best sport for men as people show their power and bravery. It's a good sport for abs!

Golf is fun and relaxing. A sport to play and enjoy yourself. Not like other sports where you hurt people and injure them. It's for the relaxed people.

I feel sorry for those that have never played Golf and caught the fever. Most people just don't know or understand and that is a pity!

Best sport without a doubt! No sports like any other, there is much more in this game than many people think.

Hands down best sport ever invented.
