Ice hockey is to hockey as Table tennis is to Tennis.

Ice hockey is about as relevant on the world scene as Air hockey.

And field hockey is relevant in exactly what countries?

It's literally the reverse. Field hockey is a goofy-looking chick sport.

If the NHL allowed the US team to select their players, you would be top for sure.

The longest running annual international sporting event is USA v Canada cricket match. Surely some care their

Be prepared to be out-autismed here user. I have been spending the last few weeks compiling a spreadsheet of world rankings in every internationally relevant sport.

>This is what Americans actually believe.

Absolute minnow mentality

>Be shit at a sport
>Haha "w-w-well we are good at the sport if its being contested on ice!"

it's also objectively the larger and more relevant sport

>discounting cricket because muh commonwealth
>accepting rugby despite being the commonwealth (but with 3/4 of the commonwealth not giving a shit) + france

are americans dare I say it simply corn syrup addled lardarses that can't compete in a sporting context?
why is the americanoid so pathetic at sport compared to the European or Antipodean?

More than 3 billion people follow teams that competed in the Hockey world cup.

Hockey: On Ice™ is followed by less than a billion people.

It is the cognitive demands of sports like cricket and F1 that are too great for Americans who lack concentration and mental fortitude.

You're either a sick cunt trolling Yanks after the end of a sunday night out, or a Pajeet who uses his turban to wipe his ass after Rhogan Josh/ Pudee Aloo diarrhea. BUD BUD DING DING!

puzzling post

Real hockey has a legit continuoud world championship and significant coverage, astro-turf hockey is the lightweight substitute, played with a fucking tennis ball or whatever.
By your logic, shitting in the street is better because 4 billion people do it in India/Pakistan/Africa/rural China.

Winter sports are not sports. If they are we have to consider absolutely irrelevant countries like Finland and Norway titans of sports which is absurd.

Winter sports are cute curiosities but you can't expect them to be taken seriously

>southern hemisphere country talking about relevance

They are good at certain sports. India has a mostly arid climate, they excel at cricket. Nordics have snow and mountains, they are got at sports. There isn't much crossover. Nobody in Europe (except the Uk) or the Americas or East Asia or most of Africa (Sa/Zimbabwe) even knows what cricket is, but that doesn't mean cricket isn't a sport, just one with a very esoteric international scene.
>Mandeep Patel has never seen snow therefore the winter olympics are not a thing.
You guys have the Himalayaas, no excuse to not being bad at skiing or slalom, even the Jamaicans participated at bobsleigh at the 1990 olympics and they have neither snow nor mountains lmao.

Nah gay cunt. Ice hockey is like if you decided to play basketball on grass and called it the default. Fuck off you Americanised prat

It's always a cringe to hear cricket in these listings. Apparently forgetting Ice Hockey completely.
Also, where does Australia rank in football? Aussies are just mini America, with their own sports that are irrelevant outside like league and Aussie rules.

We typically break semi-finals in Water Polo

We've got Nascar so we don't care about F1.

By numbers its barely behind soccer lol

Ice Hockey

>In countries with ice sport infrastructure it's reserved for the physically handicapped people who can not skate.

Using a toilet is also a relatively new invention, it took shitting on the street and added finesse and culture to it, it's a similie to how field hockey turned to proper hockey.

because north americans don't like real competition, they prefer staying in their local sports league where they can win all the titles and call it "world series".

Most of what you've listed are not even sports.

netherlands

Field hockey:
>genuine and respected sport, played across Europe and the world, strong in schools
Ice hockey:
>icepadcrash, literally legal to beat the shit out an an opponent mid-match

They only love domestic games because non-American teams can't win lol

Why are the dutch so good at sports?
they seem to have a strong presence everywhere.

dunno but at least >we made the world cup last time lol

which country has the highest aggregate score across all sports?

the US is by far the most successful tennis nation ever. dominated the sport until the 2000s

the entire world is our playground

olympics

Don’t forget that we’re terrible at geography, cause I don’t even know what shithole backwater your retarded flag is supposed to represent

>inb4 we don't care about international sport
It's the truth, though. We have alternatives to nearly every sport you mentioned. Ice Hockey > Field Hockey (this is strictly a female sport here). Gridiron Football > Rugby. NASCAR > F1. Baseball > Cricket (this is completely off the radar here, whereas the other sports are at least played by a few men or girls).

Tennis is the only disappointment in the bunch for me. The rest? Meh.

>If the NHL allowed the US team to select their players, you would be top for sure.
The last Olympics were messed up with the banning of NHL players, but when there's no player restrictions, it's Canada and then everyone else.

Basketball isn't a sport, none of those are sports. American football is the only sport left, every other has been sissified.

back at it, I see
could you bother to list real sports next time to be less embarrassing? Fucking *field hockey* are you fucking serious? That's a woman's sport in the US by the way, might as well ask how we rank in netball you drunken bogan

The women's soccer team seems to be doing alright. Maybe that doesn't count?

Even for Americans it doesn't count for much, which is why the women's team is having to sue for better pay. The only time I watch our female national teams are during the Olympics or World Championships.

>literally legal to beat the shit out an an opponent mid-match

Nobody can compete with the US to the point we literally banned pros from competing in the Olympics and when we did allow them back it was a joke.

We play football. Nobody on the world stage can compete
>hockey
You mean field hockey. Yeah we only let girls play that because we have lacrosse for men. A game that the natives here played. It is actually pretty bad ass.
>Tennis
9th isn't really an insult.
>cricket
We have baseball. Again nobody on the world stage can compete with us in baseball.
>F1
We have our own racing that developed from our history. Disrespect it all you want but numbers talk. NASCAR is huge.
>chess
Ok.
>Rugby
We play it at the college level. All the good athletes play American football. That's where the fame and fortune is.
Seems to me we absolutely dominate in sports. We just don't play all the same sports. America is a big place.

Let's do boxing and international MMA champions.

Americans are really really dumb m8 look at the subhuman retard they actually elected.

I have never met a person in my life that plays cricket. I wouldn’t even know where to look for that shit. Rugby is just now getting a following, and hockey is a very regional sport and expensive for most Americans to get into. Hockey isn’t offered in my part of the country. It’s really only played in about 10 states.

kek, look at that list and you'll be less impressed. By the time you get to 30 you've gone past the scrubs, you're dealing with dregs.

I didn't make a shit post about Australia because I always forget it exists lmao

He's from New Zealand mate

Those are women's sports

All of their elite athletes go to NFL, bball, baseball and Olympic sports because that's were the money, fame and coaching expertise are traditionally.

Field hockey is a women's sport. Like soccer.

The NHL has bigger revenue than any fucking rugby or cricket leagues. You think billions of third worlders with no plumbing that can't read are equal to rich white people. They aren't.

Some believe that it doesn't exist

The fact is, America does not give a fuck about your 3rd world "sports" and never will. They are a joke. If Americans gave a fuck about it, we would dominate it.

Because we don’t care about your sports. Why are you so obsessed with us is the better questions? I mean it makes traveling more fun since foreign girls can’t resist BAC, but the fact that the men are equally, if not more obsessed, is weird

Because everyone who plays Tennis and Soccer here are the wealthy, our best athletes play American Football, Basketball and Baseball.

We're 4th in Hockey, only behind Canada, Sweden and Russia. Its really only popular in Northeastern states.

Not a sport here
>F1
NASCAR is more popular. Both F1 and NASCAR are non-sports anyways

Alright, I get it this post is bait

Our own code of Rugby called American Football is popular, and more popular than either Rugby Union or League

I bet you FBS football and NCAA Basketball makes more revenue than a lot of these soccer leagues

they'll never be better than canuckistan but 30th is a number you pulled out your ass

>Hockey: #1 at hockey, it's called the NHL

Come on man. We have the best league, but Canada still owns us at hockey. As for tennis, our best years are behind us, and there's three players in the game today who aren't American that are in the GOAT conversation.

NHL rules are superior to IIHF rules in every way

Even in their own sports, they've got to be the special child with their own rules

no one cares about those sports, even the fans don't care about them.

what am i coping with exactly?

Are you still butthurt over the Olympic results? It's only every other year, user.

This isn't even counting the shitty Olympics that we still do really well at.

Holy shit, a smart person.

Friendly reminder, if a sport involves frozen water it's a meme.

Those sports are terrible but they could be fixed.

>American "football"
The medieval re-enactor thing has to stop. Wearing all that "protective" gear only pleases a small set of fetishists and the helmets definitely increase the risk of concussions.

>Basketball
Needs to be played on grass as a full-contact sport. Fucking man up and tackle each other. And the coaches need to be able to talk to their players after every play so it can be a properly tactical sport.

>Baseball
Again, full contact would make this an objectively superior sport. Stop fucking around with this playground "tag your man with the ball" and just hack him down.

NFL and basketball can't. Fat people running at each other/pituatory freaks engaged in endless repetition can't be entertaining.
Baseball is a top sport and fine as it is. That's why it has authentic culture.

its so booooooooooooring

sometimes. when it's exciting it's great. football's often boring too.

Americans don't care about other sports. They really don't, at all.

I'm just telling you how it is.

It's almost as if we have a sports culture, the britbongs have a sports culture, and everyone else is a bandwagon faggot.

They're pissed off about the trade war with China and you don't care which is frustrating for them because they've had your backs since WWII. It doesn't matter, they'll get over it.

do americans really think this

I can't tell if they're being ironically retarded sometimes so I just assume that they voted for the president they got and leave it at that.

lads you need to compare the two because North America took the sport and elevated it, international rules is fucking stupid and might as well be that dumb Scandinavian sport I'm going to google right now, fucking Bandy

Well India loves Cricket and there are over a billion people there so I buy it. Not even including Pakistan and other former British colonies

Bullshit, even "exciting" baseball sucks. I watched what I'm told was one of the most exciting playoff runs in the sports history and was bored to tears. Even more suspect is that it was my home town making that run to win the World Series and I just didn't give a shit. It sucks.

Ice Hockey was invented by Irishmen in Canada adapting hurling to play on ice.
