What are your favourite sports?

Question

What is your favourite sport and I want to know which sport is most played and popular in the world. Top 5 in order. (Not in America only I mean the whole world.)

Answer 1

Olympic basket weaving, speed-walking, and rabid weasel tossing is most common I believe...

Let's not forget the ever-so-popular American sport of keeping America clean by shooting rednecks in the country and gang-bangers in the city! - 005faa61, MAY 21, 2010

Answer 2

Olympic basket weaving, speed-walking, and rabid weasel tossing is most common I believe...

I am sorry but I think that you may be mistaken on this. The top 5 sports are (in this order):

No holds barred waffle toasting, Underwater basket weaving, Turtle thumping, Curmugeoning, and that reality sport where celebrities compete to lose that troublesome last ten pounds.

It is interesting to note that while regular olympic-style basket weaving did not make the top 5, it did rank in at #9 - right behind "tailgating" at (American) football events and right before "Over-the-top arm wrestling competitions."

Disclaimer: In previous lists, "rabid weasel tossing" normally remained at or near the top in popularity; however, in the wake of the doping allegations of the late 90s and the subsequent steroids crackdown, the popularity of the sport has faced a dramatic downturn in recent years. Moreover, as many countries have begun substituting rabid squirrels in place of the much more popular weasels, many rabid weasel tossing purists have become disillusioned and have turned their backs on this once much heralded sport.
