SPORTS IN THE USA

Baseball is the most popular sport in the United States. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Although no other game is exactly like baseball, perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.

Football is the most popular sport in the fall. It is played by almost every college and university in the country. The game is not the same as European football. In American football there are 11 players in each team and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur. The object of the game is to carry or forward pass (that is, throw from one person to another) the football across the opponent’s goal or scoring line.

There are professional football teams in nearly all the major cities of the United States.

Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is a faster game.

Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing and horse-racing. The spectators do not assemble primarily to see the forces race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse-racing.

There are many participant sports in America. Golf is probably the most popular. It is possibly more popular in the United States than anywhere else.

Swimming, water skiing, and skin-diving are very popular summer sports. In winter, ice skating, skiing and hockey are the fashion.

But as much as Americans like to engage in sports or to watch games being played, they seem to have as much fun reading and talking about sports.
