Interesting video. The one that really surprised me is field hockey, I had no idea it was so popular.

Bro I'm from India. We care about cricket and some people like soccer.That's it. No one cares about other sports. But I like baseball that's how I find ur channel Cricket & Baseball my two favorite sports. Following MLB since 2012. Playing MLB the show since I bought a PS4

I cannot even imagine field hockey is more popular worldwide than baseball, thats just wild. Same with volleyball and football tbh. I think field hockey and volleyball were rated to heavily on population sizes for being the 4-5th most popular sport in a country, that doesn't translate at all in my opinion, compared to population of nations that watch football (as its number 1), and baseball, which is 1-3 in many sizable nations and regions. But yeah great video

[@westhoodqualzini7884]

I know dude I’m American and I only figured out a couple years ago that field hockey existed. When you say hockey you automatically think of ice hockey

[@JD200_]

Soccer is so popular mostly because it's so easy to play. All you need is a ball and something to mark a net. For that reason, many people have played growing up so it's very familiar to them

[@avgGamer662]

I used to watch Bundesliga, EPL passionately. But now soccer feels boring. 22 guys after a single ball 😂 all grown men

That rugby thing played with protective gear in the USA doesn't look like sports to me. It's like people trying to kill each other 😂😂

[@macintoshcomputingdevice8016]

Thats why it's the greatest sport

[@jazznik2]

Very interesting and surprising video. I thought basketball would be #1. I had no idea cricket would be #2. Field hockey being #4 was a huge surprise; I wouldnt have thought it would be anywhere near this list at all. Handball was another big surprise, and it looks completely different than the handball I am familiar with. Also,, I was interested in which of these are olympic sports. American football and cricket are not, which makes it even more curious that cricket is listed #2 here. Also, "regular" rugby is not an olympic sport either but starting w the 2016 games in Rio the olympics have a sport called Rugby Sevens, which has 7 players instead of 15. I was surprised that team handball has been an olympic sport for a while.

If you do this in terms of money generated baseball and especially American football get a huge boost, like do all cricket leagues combined generate the fraction of MLB revenue?

I disagree that cricket has basketball beat in east africa, basketball is more popular than cricket in all the large african countries, nigeria, egypt, ethiopia, DRC etc., cricket isn't even played in north, west, and central africa, it's only played in south and to a smaller extent east africa.

[@vrush2668]

Cricket is popular in one of the densely populated region in the worldthat is the subcontinent comprising of a combined population of 1.7 billion people and it is also popular in Australia England south africa and carribbean whereas football is more popular in entire African continent hence basketball doesn't come close to those numbers that football and cricket generate

[@birendrashahi40]

Yes, cricket is not for poor north Africa Just play football in desert and migrate to Europe, Cricket is for elite people poor can't afford

[@simondoe6871]

The claim that american football isn't popular in europe is simply false. At least in Germany it is immensely popular. the nfl hosted a game in munich just earlier this month and it outperformed every london game. I've seen claims that american football is the 2nd most popular sport in germany, but those were quite biased. I'd personally say it comes 4th after soccer, handball and tennis. So in all fairness, you'd have to account for germany in your analysis of football imo. Also I think you are vastly overestimating the popularity of field hockey. The Indian Team is good, yes, but when it comes to attandence, the FIH Pro league (big international hockey tournament held every year) can't even compare to any of the other sports in this list. The fact that the olypics is the most prestigious tournament in field hockey, should tell you enough, that it needs a pretty major piggyback to be popular.

[@ricardoguerrero3883]

There is a large following of American Football in Mexico and Brazil too. The two biggest countries in Latin America in terms of population and GDP.

American football would be No.1 folllowed by soccer, baseball, basketball, ice hockey if the ranking was based on each sport's capital or revenue.

[@BC-th3mx]

Having the league with the most revenue when another sport has over a hundred leagues doesn't outweigh the aggregate landslide, more impressive particularly given the limited ad time compared to every North American sport

[@insertcolorherehawk3761]

Isn’t American Football a top 5 sport in Japan and Germany?

[@michaelpeng9993]

don't know about germany, but definitely no in japan, baseball, soccer, rugby, basketball, volleyball already makes up top 5

[@iakadayrneh]

No this video failed to mention, that Soccer, Volleyball and basketball and baseball are the most popular and played sports in Japan, China and South Korea. He mentioned soccer is popular in the African continent.But these countries aren't very good at soccer or basketball or even volleyball in general a sport being popular in a certain country or continent does not always mean that country will dominate the sport. The countries in Africa are not really a sporting nation, especially the middle east. Look at the Fiba Asian Cup for both men and women. East Asian countries dominate basketball in asia, Japan,China, and South Korea women's national teams have each won Olympic silver medals and even played In the basketball world cup finals the only Asian countries to do so with their own local talent. In soccer Japan women's national team won the Women's World Cup in 2011 and Olympic silver in 2012 and 2x Asian Cups. The China Women's team has also won Olympic silver in soccer. In men's soccer Japan is the only Asian country besides South Korea to have Olympic medals no South Asia or middle east countries have won any Olympic medals. In volleyball Japan and China women's team both have won Olympic gold Medals, and the world championship and world cups even Japan mens volleyball team has won Olympic gold. In baseball again both Japan mens and women's national teams have won Olympic gold Medals and the world championship titles. Even in field hockey a not so popular sport in Japan or China yet these countries have won Olympic medals. I think there's a difference between a certain sport being popular in a certain country and a sporting nation. East Asians are in general a sporting country they excel in basketball, soccer, volleyball, basketball,and baseball.

[@TheDCbullet]

Do people actually watch field hockey? I understand It's widely played, but does it actually have that many spectators?

[@jesusvelarde143]

American sports are the most entertaining, especially their leagues: Baseball, Basketball, American Football and Hockey, apart from these, Soccer and Volleyball are also very entertaining. For me those are the best team sports. I'm from Mexico and they also play a lot of baseball, basketball and American football here. Of course, apart from soccer.
