I’m not sure hockey is one of the four big sports.

Baseball
Football
Basketball
Soccer
Field & Track
Boxing
Nascar(I don’t think this a sport)
Tennis
Golf
Hunting & Fishing

I kinda disagree. The only real ‘sports’ are mountain climbing, gymnastics, shooting sports, and auto racing (specifically Formula 1). The rest are just games

If you subtract all of the illegal aliens in our country, soccer wouldn't even be on the radar. Professional hockey has way more fans than soccer.

Wikipedia, for what its worth.

"NASCAR (I don’t think this a sport)"

Not trying to convince you other wise, but for just a moment, take into consideration going @ Generally they can reach the low 210's mph but race from 150 - 180 on average, among 20 plus people, as I like to put it, TRYING to kill you, while at the same time, trying not to kill you.

If your heart isn't pumping twice as fast as normal, let's face it, your dead already.

For the average person, not familiar with going say 150 mph, as I use to do quite often as a kid, (I'm 66 yr's old) the white dotted lines on the freeway, become solid lines, with no breaks in them. At first you wonder, am I seeing what's not there! This generally starts to occur at approx. 135 mph. By 150 mph, PLUS; it's in full effect.
