The 8 Most Popular Sports In The World

Baseball has long been one of the most popular sports in the US, and even considered America’s Pastime, but the sport is trending down even in that market. It’s most popular in the US, Japan, the Dominican Republic, and Cuba, but has failed to catch on in Europe and other major markets. Part of the reason baseball is losing steam is the steroid controversies clouding the sport, but more-so, it’s baseball’s failure to adapt. To make matters worse, baseball is climate specific, and that may be part of the reason it hasn’t caught on in Europe. With less and less young American athletes pursuing the sport as a career, baseball will be lucky to be in the top ten most popular sports in the world in ten years.
