RE: What is the most supported sports in the world?
Well HOLY Cow, how in the world has HOCKEY, I mean the ice cold HOCKEY. 1.64 million people in the world play organized hockey. 80% of Canada, with a population of 34,568,211. Ice Hockey is an Olympic event. Come on what about Lord Stanley cup? NHL, and OMG the Montreal Canadians.
I was quite surprised that Ice hockey does not feature in the top 10. And also Rugby Union does not feature. Thanks for the comment, you seem to be a avid supporter of Ice Hockey.
Why are you so surprised about hockey? I mean I like hockey too but just because it is popular in Canada it doesn't mean its supposed to be popular worldwide. To be honest other than Canada, Russia, some Scandinavian and parts of the US no one really cares about hockey. I could also see soccer and basketball put a dent in hockey's popularity in Canada in the future
It's just too expensive to play which makes it out of reach for poorer nations.
You make a very valid point. Thanks
