The USA is too spread out to be the best country to live in as far as sports go imho.

For team sports id say UK probably. You have football, Rugby, Cricket, Ice Hockey etc. The UK is so small its easy to be a traveling fan, not so much in the US. Youll never experience atmospheres or intensity like local football rivalries you do in the UK or a majority of the world.

If kiss cams are your thing, then its definitely the US though.

I think the US stands among the best if you consider cities like Boston, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo, St Louis and Denver where team pride/spirit of varying sports is quite evident visually and through interaction with locals.

USA

We are passionate fans but not thugs generally speaking. European soccer fans are bunch of uncouth trash who like to get into fist fights and wave Nazi flags and openly yell racial epithets and throw bananas on the field calling Black players monkey. If that happened here, it would be all over the news; teams would be suspended, fans would be jailed. In Europe, it's so common, that no one cares or is ashamed by it. It's because a lot of Europeans are closet racists.
