I quite like playing Finnish baseball...

It is boring to watch though.

A Texan invented Bulldogging:

An American invented Toccer (aka as Tennis Polo):
Tennis polo - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Interestingly enough, both of these sports were invented by African Americans.

Baseball, Basketball, American Football and Volleyball have already been covered for US. There's also Skateboarding, Snowboarding, and Softball. Can't think of any other ones.

I agree that most of the popular/non-obscure sports seem to have been invented either by the British or are modified versions of British games.
