Mountains are comfy. it would be a waste not to use them
football. because it's redpilled
I dont feel like football is very popular in Russia
a shame, you did decent in last world cup

My favorite sport is baseball which puts me in the majority because I live in New York.
:(
For me, it's hokkei
baltic niggers
How long before a US state turns green
I have definitely seen more handegg and basketball shirts than baseball ones in NYC
yankee hats don't count since people wear them more as a fashion statement than as a show of support for the boreball team
yesterday, that retarded macaco told me that haiti doesnt care about povertyball tho???
not an argument
you got blown the fuck out by a tiny island of low iq niggers
Why the f*ck is Wales green?!
New Mexico should do so any year now
They are ~3% away from it
Where I live, everybody watches baseball, but not everyone watches football or basketball. Football is more popular in the south and midwest. The Yankees and Mets get much more support than the other NY sports teams, and are more talked about. Also when they play each other, people actually notice, unlike when the Jets and Giants play or when the irrelevant Knicks and Nets do.
not an independent country
Where in NYC? In Manhatten it's just people from other countries and states and in other places I've seen more Mets apparel that handegg and apehoop shit.
Upstate there's a lot of baseball and only rural retards who think they're from Virginia and listen to """""country""""" music and hang Confederate flag pay attention to handegg. Basketball is for 55 year old white guys at the Y and Syracuse is bigger than the Knicks or Nets.
Yet Texas and California are? Whoever made this map is a lazy cunt.
My new team to support
it‘s literally the only thing our country is good at besides starting wars. pls no bully
Yeah, I think the 50 US states should've just been shown as one country.
Football is my favourite sport but it's very close to Gaelic in terms of popularity. I also passively follow Gaelic, so yeah I'm not exactly on the fringes of society or anything
seeth more sheep shagger
>Yeah, I think the entire EU should've just been shown as one country
Mostly Manhattan, but also Brooklyn where our hotel was
So born New Yorkers just don't live in Manhattan anymore and just handed over that part of town to foreigners and non-NY Americans?
To play: Rugby
To watch: Hockey
Get back to your field Llewelyn
Baseball
Just a bit weird
USA is 1 country
EU is 28
Why do Latvia and Lithuania love basketball so much?
EU is multiple countries, US is 1. European countries have regional differences too in terms of sport preferences but it would get messy if all of these were shown on the map
The states aren't countries. Germany, France, etc are.
>cricket
cuck fetish
Manhattan is expensive as hell and the people who live there are fortune 500 CEOs and celebrities. Very few people actually live in Manhatten compared to Queen's or Brooklyn.
They're niggers.
turn on any ny sports radio, baseball is the most important sport in ny metro it will be pretty obvious
basketball is distant third to baseball and football because the knicks have been horrible for decades
Football
>UAE
>Cricket
By that logic, Qatar and Kuwait's most popular sport is also cricket
>Philippines
>basketball
The thought of a group of 5'3 Filipino's trying to reach a basketball net is hilarious.
Filipinos think they're African American
>South Africa
>Football
Is that true? I would've guessed Rugby or Cricket
The best lad at basketball in my school was a Filipino manlet desu. I think the height factor only comes into play when there is enough competition in place that forces every player to reach their skill ceiling so that other factors like physical ones then become the difference. In a country like here or even the UK, manlets can get away with basketball
Cricket.
Neither of those countries even play cricket while UAE actually has its own domestic league and ODI status.
I doubt all or even most of the 1.6 million people living there are CEOs or celebrities desu
That’s true but it’s because expats can’t form cricket teams under their law
Blacks like soccer and cricket. Whites like cricket and rugby. There are just a lot more blacks so soccer edges ahead, but in tv ratings cricket is pretty much on par with soccer there.
Rugby is seen as very Afrikaans which a lot of blacks dislike, but that's slowly starting to change. It helps that SA has a black captain now who is actually good and not an obvious quota pick (South Africa have actual qoutas).
KEK is this true? What the fuck
UAE seems so much better than the shitholes that surround it tb h.
How sad, teams of foreigners are the best to play against here when you're playing 6 a side. Every nationality in london its own football team
you're right, the other guy is a retard. don't bother talking to him
>UAE seems so much better than the shitholes that surround it tb h.
kek, literally today their sheikh's wife fled the country and came to Germany to apply for asylum
KeK
Football and Cricket is 50/50 but I think more people actively go out and watch local games
you know Harlem's in Manhattan, right?
Do I count my home country or my transplant country, OP?
Home country, yes, barring maybe rugby being more popular (debatably).
Transplant, I have a firm belief I'm the only one in the nation who just genuinely does not like handegg.
How good are nips at baseball? MLB level? I know nothing about baseball
i believe it's generally considered between MLB and AAA (the highest level of minor league baseball)
Actually also pretty sure Namibia's most popular sport is rugby too despite them being shit at it. And Zimbabwe is cricket. Reckon when ever this map was originally made they just painted all of Africa green.
What country originally? Ireland or New Zealand?
baseball, colorado
it's decently popular but the broncos lap the field several times over, nothing else is in the same stratosphere. I couldn't give less of a shit about the broncos so basically I'm an alien here
wtf never seen a texan who prefers baseball over football
He's canadian, the land of zeta males. His president is literally a faggot.
It's possible actually. Soccer is getting popular in the younger generation in America. I might get into it myself.
Wales.
Desu probably biased but most of the people I know from back then and family are much more rugby oriented than footy.
Yikes. Australia and New Zealand will be the only anglo nations to never fall to the green menace
Sounds right. All the Welsh people I've net here are rugby mad and none have watched soccer.
>Al Maktoum family, rulers of the most overrated emirate
not surprised kek, he had it coming desu
they're good but really not as good as they should be for how popular the sport is there and their population. shitty asian athletes I guess.
They're well behind the Dominican Republic and Venezula when it comes to talent, and the US of course.
I would say their pro league is about the level of AAA. A few MLB level players but also lots of A and AA level players
She even took $56 million with her and now the sheikh is buttmad and wants to force us to give him back his wife and kids, kek
i only really watch hockey and basketball so not much i guess
wish i liked any kind of football
Why did Wales take to rugby so much?
Do you like any US sports or do you mainly stick to Welsh ones?
They're a top half but not promotion contender championship if mlb is the prem
Where is she even from? She looks somewhat MENA but also very light. Do Sheiks get their women from the northern tip of Tunisia or Syria?
Northern Iranians are pretty light man.
Gulfies are not going to marry Iranians let alone their leadership
I DON'T LIKE CRICKET, OH NO
I LOVE IT
Palestinians are pretty light, man.
BASED
Farming.
Test
Eh I looked her up she's from the Jordanian royal family which if I'm not mistaken are part British or something
Good joke. Palestinians are the niggers of the middle East. Hated by all
i don't watch apehoop at all.
>f*ck
Are you fucking retarded?
is baseball popular in the carribbean? like people will actually make time to watch it or do they just see it as a way to escape poverty? like do they actually care about it
It's the worst sport ever. Fucking golf is better to watch.
>What is your favourite sport
tennis
>and how different does that make you from your fellow sports fan.
I don't have friends, so makes me very different.
I think it depends on where in the Caribbean. Cubans, Dominicans and Puerto Ricans like baseball but Jamaicans like cricket. In the countries there that like baseball I hear it's like a religion.
Isn't MLB chockers with Cubans and Dominicans?
The rest of the Carib are cricket mad la
Good your both shat anyway
Yes.
Rest of the UK has farms too
Based violence loving mongolians
Texas:
>NFL
>College Football
>Soccer
Yeah I'm pretty similar with the majority don't know anything about baseball and Basketball is boring.
Hurling is best sport
Bhutan is a mountainous region, archery is popular because not really any space for pitches. Football is growing there, however.
>cricket
Tennis is my favorite sport.
>redneck education
Whoever made that map didn't actually put any research into it, probably thought 'Africa' is a country.
Koshien is comfy desu
>play sport that almost no one else takes seriously
>"w-we-we're good at it"
that's just straight up self-deception, my country does it a lot too
>Basketball is boring
I used to think the same thing until ~2 years ago but the intricacies and match-ups between different players on different teams hooked me in desu. I think the fact that it's so high-scoring and that it's difficult to really watch because it seems to a neophyte that there's no real defense deters interest.
only tiny meme "countries" play cricket though. Only decent sized one is Jamaica and soccer is the most popular sport there. Not popular in the bahamas anymore either
countries or regions of countries that are culturally caribbean play baseball as well, venezuela, colombia, panama, nicaragua, mexico, Miami.
is fucking ping pong really the most popular in china
also philippines and basketball, why? have they ever had even a half decent player.
Christ Americans are so ridiculously stupid that it's actually baffling.
Obsessed
You responded to me, dumbcunt, and don't even know what the Caribbean is.
Absolute mongoloid.
Seppos innit
According to what? Viewers? Participants? Fotball surely is bigger in some aspects compared to Ice hockey in Sweden but not in every category
I'm not this guy.
Kek and yet youre still replying to me and claim I'm the one who's obsessed.
Sort yourself out you yankee doodle shite
>australian thinks he knows more about the caribbean than me
Living in your head rent free
You don't even know what countries make up the region lmao.
India and Australia are bigger than Jamaica...
Checked
What I mean to say is that not all Americans are dumb enough to not know this and that you're obsessed because you think all of us are that stupid, due to your obsession
>people wear them more as a fashion statement than as a show of support for the boreball team
Same with me. I have Boston Red Sox fullcap and I have never watched a baseball game.
Also Welsh lad in USA. Don't care for American footie and like footie more than rugby
>nevada
>baseball
Wut
I would've guessed it'd be football or hockey there
It's bigger in literally every way outside of select boonie villages with no good football clubs
we were talking about the caribbean
en.wikipedia.org
>The Caribbean is a region of the Americas that consists of the Caribbean Sea, its islands and the surrounding coasts.
>and the surrounding coasts
the caribbean is more than just the islands. even some places that don't border the caribbean sea like the bahamas, guyana, suriname, the culture still makes them caribbean.
trust me man, my parents are from the caribbean region of colombia (actually called that), as the name implies it's culturally caribbean, and baseball is actually a big part of that.
Baseball prep is pretty popular in the vegas area and the aaa team draws well, but yeah, as far as fan interest goes it'd probably have to be hockey with their only pro franchise, or maybe basketball cause proximity to California and UNLV being all-world in the 90s
in America yaks hats are for yaks fans
BC gonna be purple soon
Protip: Second generation prefer american sports. The only spics who like WATCHING soccer are straight from Mexico.
t. lived in New Mexico
no american-born person likes soccer though
you get beat up in elementary school if you don't like the cowboys in NM
I think this map is ok, but misleading. Obviously the situation is much more nuanced and plural in real life. For example, south of France could probably be Rugby, and Korea could easily be baseball.
Now.
Australia will never be green. Soccer barely is a top 10 sport here
and incest
Name the top 10 then
I'm American and I wouldnt even say it's not top 10 here
Cricket is my favourite sport. But here the sporting culture is really just supporting our national teams and sportsmen, so I'm not that different from anybody else, cricket will be our national sport in a week or so if we win a world cup semi.
Based off viewership
1. Cricket
2. Footy
3. Rugby league
4. Tennis
5. Rugby union
6. Formula 1
7. Super Cars
8. Soccer
9. Basketball
10. i dont even know, nfl playoffs usually get decent ratings so maybe that.
Also keep in mind that soccer viewership in Australia has been declining year on year since 2006 (when it peaked) while cricket and aussie rules are more popular than ever. Even rugby league still has growth in tv ratings and union will bounce back when ever we're not shit.
>Australia has been declining year on year since 2006
>Australia joined AFC in 2006
Hmm
Oh wait I thought you said soccer wouldn't make top 10. My bad I misread that.
I flatly refuse to believe that more people in Australia watch tennis than rugby union.
It does, and they are predominately areas where rugby is the most popular sport. Even in the Norf there are towns where football simply isn't played.
In the USA:
1.) American Football
2.) Basketball
3.) Baseball
4.) Ice Hockey
5.) Soccer
Demographics are changing but I have no idea if it's really making an impact because I live in a white bubble
What about cities like Cardiff and Swansea? More rugby or football?
I think it had more to do with us actually having one good player and all the casuals deciding to tune into the world cup to see what the fuss was about. There was hype around soccer but after we got eliminated and people realised that outside of the world cup all we had was our shitty domestic league that coincides with cricket season and the Asian cup, everyone immediately went back to normal proceedings which was league, afl and cricket.
You could make the argument that its more popular than f1 and super cars, but realistically speaking outside of cricket, aussie rules, and rugby league, every other sport is largely irrelevant here. Tennisbis only big during summer for the Australian open.
Sadly it's true. Really depressing to think we went from regularly filling the 100k capacity stadium australia and bledisoe games getting 4+ million in tv ratings to having less than 500k tune in f9r most tests.
Tennis is popular here because its the only alternative to cricket in summer, the Australian Open, and us historically being a very good tennis nation.
Pétanque. Fuck retardball.
Also Mongolia is based.
Is basketball really bigger than baseball? Wasnt it only a few decades ago that baseball was king?
not him but yes to both questions
Baseball seems comfy tb h
>petanque
Are you an unironic boomer?
I live near the border and whenever I'm going over there to la France, all I see is old men playing it.
Because Americans think you're part of England.
Not that that explains why England is green.
by cultural significance basketball is probably bigger, tv ratings baseball still has a significant edge
It's part of the Kingdom of England
fuck grigget
Its fun and comfy to play lad
>Kerguelen
>football
Pretty sure the dozen scientists and militaries stuck there play ping pong at best.
Where I live everyone play pétanque, and everywhere I go i see young people play it too. Of course elders have more time to spend.
Poor.
Even burgers aren't that ignorant.
It is. Flat out conquered by England who later merged with Scotland and Ireland. That's why Wales isn't on the Union Jack.
It's my favorite sport by a mile. Apehoop sucks.
Hockey and soccer could possibly be swapped
>Mongolia

And no one watches my sport haha. But its funny how big the Suns are here in AZ. Fun fact, 10 years ago ice hockey was the biggest sport at my middle school
Don't they teach you british history in uk. The english kingdom fully annexed wales and Cornwall while technically it never fully annexed Scotland but instead joined together to form the British kingdom
fútbol
not different at all, with the obvious exception of being one of the select few in the whole world that never got relegated to second division. In that regard, yes, it makes >us way different
The only history they teach in school is WW2. Unless you take elected history further up your school life, in which case you get to learn about slavery, the cold war , and, you guessed it, WW2 again
It literally is though, you're a principlaity.
So the English don't actually know that 95% of their kings throughout their history weren't anglo Saxons
Sad
I find this hard to believe. I literally learned about the steps on how England became UK in America.
You took ap european history? Does it actually cover that? I took 7 years ago and I only remember the napeleon part
Most probably don’t know what an Anglo-Saxon is. But I’ve never lived in England so I can’t really say for sure
Yup learn quite a lot of the British Isles history. Professor showed us clips of visiting where Mary Queen of Scots was beheaded too.
Lads, can I have your attention please
Why THE FUCK is skiing the most popular sport in Estonia? Can anyone explain? I never heard of a successful Estonian skier in my life.
I spent of my time in ap euro playing pokemon on my Nintendo ds. The teacher was an old hag that idolized europe too much
Good days
they don't even have mountains desu
Isn't the NK national sport sucking Kim cock under threat of execution?
Kek
Exactly, must be some kind of a mistake
baseball and basketball are clear 2/3 with huge power gaps above and below, pretty interchangeable depending on which metric you use which is second. pretty fallacious to say basketball is a clear #2
Map's a bit wrong, most popular sport in the northern states of Mexico is baseball by a large margin
I feel the author only made the regional divide for USA, not other countries
based
Surprised South Africa is green
I was expecting rugby or maybe cricket
As another user said SA is mostly black and they don"t play rugby, let alone fucking cricket.
Basketball isnt even that popular here. E!SPN just shills it 24/7/365 like they do with SEC football because they have monetary interests in both. Baseball is #2 by pretty much every metric.
i am green
Why is America separated by state and no other country is?
Because we made this map. If you don't like it make your own
south african blacks definitely play cricket
Someone should make a map of all the countries that don;t have a British sport as #1?
good idea
Is that a map of all the 3rd world countries?
Thank GOD my state doesn't care about boreball
You cum guzzling retard

No we're not.
I watched a bit of tennis last year and not a minute of rugby union, not even on sports highlights, so there
American football (i like soccer too tho, Just not as much)
Its obviously not as popular as european football, but it has quite a big following, more so than what people in other countries would imagine, its widely watched and practiced in México, Also people around here dont associate it with negative cognotations as ive seen europeans and south americans do, im not in the fringe or anything im Just the dude that schools casuals at the superbowl barbecue when they have a question about the game
Rugby
>estonia
based
yes, sounds about right
South african blacks love cricket, mate. Its widely played there and it competes with soccer in tv ratings.
There is less of a stigma attached to cricket since it's not seen as afrikaans
Suriname should be green
What you're looking at is Guyana.
It's a balance between green and red.
NUKE GREEN
This.
What I've learned from this thread is that seppos are fucking retarded.
Don't they teach basic geography in yankistan schools? Fucking hell

lol Israeli-Arabs and Palestinians have a wide variety from light brown in some cities, to charcoal Sudan-tier. 90% of them are brown. They aren't "pretty light" by any measure, unless you think 1% of them represents all of them.
