I caught the Cricket bug when I visited Australia and New Zealand, last year.

And what is field hockey? is that lacrosse?

Field Hockey is mainly a girls' sport played in plaid skirts in prep schools.

Haha.... um, no.

Brought to you by the pollsters that had Hillary winning in a landslide. There is no way that 2 through 7 are more popular than baseball. Cricket... meh, who knows. But basketball more popular than baseball? Field Hockey? Tennis? Volleyball? (okay, I would understand maybe with women’s beach volleyball) but Ping Pong? Seriously... just... no.

Field hockey is not the fourth most popular sport in the world. The summary table says “Field hockey”, the article bizarrely combines field hockey and ice hockey.

Sounds more like horse hockey

They embraced homos, alienated real Americans (gun owners), and will die.

I love hockey too. I just read an article from Minnesota. More kids are on High School shooting teams (mostly shotgun/trap shooting) than hockey!

Disappointing that the 200 meter freestyle for non-swimmers did not make the cut.

Hard to believe that cricket is number two. They must be counting all of India and Pakistan, among others.

Not surprised to see basketball at number three. It’s pretty cheap to get kids started playing, and multi-purpose indoor facilities probably exist in many parts of the world for use by schools and organized leagues at various levels.

I’ve noted that the world’s 4 most populous countries: China, India, Pakistan, Indonesia and the US, all stink at Soccer.

Apparently math isn't a popular sport either, nor grammar!
