Morning all I was just wondering the above as a Londoner I'd guess it was between American football, baseball and basketball?

In the uk the most popular is football ( soccer ) by a million miles.

For most Americans, soccer is too tame. Very little contact, very little scoring and doesn't require as many athletic skills.

Our football is also the most popular. It is my favorite because of the combination athleticism and complex strategy.

Yeah I like the physical side of American football I must admit.

It depends on what you consider athletic. Most soccer players would probably break a few bones in a single play of American Football, while most American Football players would die of heart attack 30 seconds after the soccer match started.

That is certainly not a true statement. Unless you excelled a multiple sports including Soccer you should refrain from such a claim.

The most popular from a fan point of view would be Football.
Harris Poll -- NFL still most popular; MLB 2nd

As far as what sport American youth participate in the most, that would be Basketball.
