A poll of American sports fans by Harris reveals that the NFL is by far the most popular sport in the country. We know, that’s not news to you. But the separation between NFL and everything else is staggering. The results when Americans were asked which sport is their favorite:
Americans Love Football; Basketball Not So Much
↵
↵NFL (31%), Baseball (17%), College Football (12%), Auto Racing (7%), NBA (6%)
↵
↵College basketball checked in at two percent. Which means 43 percent of Americans consider some form of football their favorite sport, while just nine percent feel that way about basketball.
↵
The sport that has lost the biggest following over the past 25 years is baseball, which is down six percent. On the flip side, NFL and NHL are the biggest gainers, going up seven and three percent, respectively.
↵
Professional sporting league receiving zero percent of the vote: The WNBA.
