I really think Baseball is the most popular sport. Hands down. The Phillies are crazy popular and have the most recent championship win.

Eagles are a close second, but I think for now, The Phillies run this city.

The Phillies deserve to be. The Eagles don't, and yet I think they are for some inexplicable reason.

I agree. However when it comes to recreational play, it is Basketball.

Pro sports, it's Eagles or Phils, depending on the time of the year, as I think everyone agrees. And like nephi said, recreational is probably basketball.

The Eagles are the most popular team, whether they are doing good or bad they always dominate talk radio and things like that. The Flyers always have there own loyal fan base. The Phillies and Sixers kind of flip flop. Whichever one is doing better is more popular. In the early 2000's when the Sixers were a top team and the Phillies stunk everyone was with the Sixers, then a few years ago that changed and the Phillies were the team. Depending on what the Sixers do this year and what moves the Phillies make in the offseason the Sixers could be back ahead of the Phillies. If we were going by what is the most popular sport played in Philly it would have to be basketball, we are one of the top 3 or 4 basketball hotbeds in the WORLD. No other of the 4 major sports in the city can say that.

Most likely the Eagles but I think we can all agree that the Union(MLS) is dead least.
