In the United States it used to be Baseball. In fact, today is Opening Day but it sure doesn't feel like it with the lack of coverage.

Football and Golf are played the most then Rugby. Pool/Snooker,Darts and Bowls. Shinty and Curling get a wee mention(cultural reasons).

Everyone thinks they're Tennis fans now, with Andy Murray.

I think perhaps football may have taken over with basketball a 2nd place? Hockey distant 4th.
