World's Ten Most Popular Sports

10. Rugby League - Yes, rugby, 26 guys kicking and carrying a football down the field to score. Passing it around, trying to get to the all hailed line. Basically just a bunch of guys running around with no rules.

9. American Football - A bunch of guys running around tackling the guy with the football. A lot a rules, regulations, money, franchises. Maybe the NCAA or NFL needs to learn more from the 26 guys that don't have rules? I don't know, but on thing is for sure I do not understand; the winners of the Superbowl (championship game for NFL) gets a ring? Are they getting married?

8. Ice Hockey - I'm really glad someone did something about ice-skating. This sport should probably be called epic ice-skating. Well its not so, I'll tell you about it. Some people with sticks, trying to get the puck (or major over cooked burger) into the net, always guarded by guy that is the biggest and has the best reflexes. People also watch it, they sit behind a wall of glass and watch the people with the sticks (especially the one with the charred hamburger)

7. Volleyball - Can be played anywhere, on the sand (rugby can be played there), or on the court (rugby can play there too). So here are the basics of the game, someone serves it, it gets tipped up, hit up again, hit up again, then hit across the net. Sometimes something exciting happens, the player jumps and blocks the ball knocking it to the other side (like the picture to the left)!

6. Field Hockey - Surprisingly more popular than ice hockey, it is the same thing but on a feild.

5. Rugby Union - Same as Rugby League, but more championships and stuff like that, field is a little longer, 'nuff said.

4. Baseball - You hit the ball, and run to the white thing, it the person with th ball touches it before you are out, if the ball is caught, you're out, if you get three strikes, you're out, lots of ways to get out. Getting out is the national pastime of the U.S., and is popular in Japan Taiwan, Cuba, Venezuela and South Korea. With everyone playing it, its got to be a boring sport! No? The World Series (only in the U.S.) is the only interesting part of baseball

3. Basketball - The art of throwing a giant bouncy ball, into a basket 10-15 feet in the air. You bounce the ball and run with it. It you take more than one step per bounce, traveling is called. Traveling? No? Should be called "excessive walking". Why this is so popular, I don't know, just like how many licks it takes to get to the center of the lollipop.

2. Cricket - Not much is know about this sport in the U.S. Only thing is that the U.S. knows how to fall asleep easily. Watch some Cricket... ZzZzZz

1. Football (A.K.A. Soccer)- Football (Soccer) is awesome, that is why the earth loves it. A bunch of guys getting rough trying to get the ball, into the net. Its pretty awesome.
