Auto racing should be on the list. I read that more people watch auto racing than football or baseball. Aerobatics also draws huge crowds.

Couple of years ago, I was walking past a middle school that was on recess. Lots of kids out playing. One of them kicked a soccer ball over the fence right in front of me, so I caught it and tossed it back to them.

That's the only time I have ever touched a soccer ball.

Absolutely. By far. The rest aren’t even close.

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

Ditto for the NFL.

In less than 10 years, online/computer gaming (e-sports) will be number one.

Sure they meant Field Hockey——it’s very popular around the world.

Ridiculous, but probably true.

Believe it or not, there is a cricket team in Compton, Calif., a low-income community that is predominantly black and Latino. They call themselves the Homies and the Popz and have played against teams from Britain, Australia, Afghanistan, etc.

There was talk of building a Cricket Ground, here in Plano, which of course, has a large Indian community.

I’ve endeared myself with my Indian co-workers, because I can talk Cricket with them.

Soccer, the sport that teaches the virtually worthless skill of foot/eye coordination.
