How do you not have basketball on there?

You said "supported". I don't see people walking around with soccer jerseys all over the world. Michael Jordan was AND is the most recognizable athlete in the world...but what do I know.

Depends on what the qualifications are. Their building the largest stadium in the world in China now for F1, and a single F1 car is worth more than most footie teams. NASCAR is the most popular sport in the US. I think football might have a slight advantage because it's watched most of the world around, and there are national teams. At the same time though, a lot of football teams are bad/poorly sponsored compared to auto racing teams.

Definitely soccer. Compare the number of fans at the Euro 2004 event and the number of fans watching the NBA/NFL/NHL etc.

lets first see IF vick plays this season.. if he stays healthy, this team is gonna be killer. they have built up the rest of the team a good deal, had a great draft, and will still be competitive without him, but i'd still be weary. But i'll save my energy for threads further down the road.

this is a dumb thread it's common knowledge that the #1 sport in the world is soccer.

In fact, my friend was wearing a Real Madrid jersey yesterday, you also see a lot of Brazil and Italy jerseys here
