I thought video games were the most popular "sport" in Korea?
djangojazz
Basketball in SE Asian islands surprised me the most.
jimbowskii
New Zealand is wrong! It is Football not rugby. More people play and watch football more than rugby.
lukas9356
You have no idea how popular table tennis was and is in sweden.
BleachedBoohole
Mama said foosball is the devil...

TIL that there's basketball in the Philippines

I don't care what sport you like/dislike. As long as you're into sports, I'm into you.
cousteau
I thought the most popular sport where I live was complaining.
TheFatAussieGuy
PNG is Rugby League, NZ is Rugby Union.

I was on the varsity No Information Team my junior year of High School.

Fairly certain, Indiana should be orange.
CommunCreator
Also, shouldn’t Ohio be yellow? Two reasons: 1) the Indians 2) the Browns (although the Bengals did okay, didn’t they?)
Thalweg
Considering a town of 4,000 just sold out an 11,000 person arena for a sectional game.... I think you are correct.
oooooooohh
AKTUALLLY the most popular sport in India is field hockey.
oooooooohh
And the most popular sport in Australia is AFL
DabSwabFamDab
Wait russia isnt hockey?
TheWarHymn
Shouldn't it be drinking?
ihatesociology
Same with Czech republic

Hahaha @ Kansas, doesn't even have a pro basketball team. Rock Chalk!

As a dane....Where is handball?
swedeonamoose
every dane quit liking it after last nights game :D
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
Danes like handball? WTF it's like your whole country is just trying to be cute and quirky.

Welcome to American football, where the ball is 99% of the time in the players HANDS.
YeahWellAboutThat
And where there are players who are likely to never touch the ball at all.
CRTBOTF2
And if you look up the definition of 'ball' they don't use one of them either. Should more accurately call their game 'hand oblate spheroid'
CRTBOTF2
+1 for calling it football
DrunkenMarineBiologist
You mean what it's called pretty much everywhere but North America?
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
In Wales it's definitely rugby. And Wales is even outlined in the map.
RealLifePusheen
Was coming here to say this! As the daughter of a rugby player, it is definitely rugby!!
Whetu
As a New Zealander, I immediately looked for Wales to join us in the maroon, but it's only Papua New Guinea - which should be League anyway!
d0o0o0d
It always amuses me when I see a global map that includes the borders of US states, but no internal borders in any other countries.
Fireninja404
To be fair, if they collected the data for each province in Canada, they'd still all turn out to be hockey
CommunCreator
They’re there, if you zoom in. That said, am I the only one bothered that the US is the only one broken down internally?
LarvaLamp
You have no idea how true that is...
CommunCreator
Oh, I do. Believe me, I do.
LordOfTheDownvotes
They just dont have the data. Its hard to get stats like that for other countries, especially if they speak a different language.
CommunCreator
Maybe, but for Australia or the UK?
Banner116
This is wrong. There's no label for Starcraft over Korea.
AllBreadAllTheTime
Pretty sure it's LoL or Overwatch now
Banner116
I'd say LoL, you're surely right. But I'm old I guess. I still always think of Korea as Starcraft land, where esports was born :(
BillLolz
The US can’t even be united for their most popular sport.
GasBandit
Well, we did invent all three that are listed for us.
TheWarHymn
Basketball was invented by a Canadian, baseball by the British, and football is modified rugby.
GasBandit
The first basketball game was in Massachusetts, Baseball in New York. American football is American. So kindly zip your howling screamer.
CaptCanada
there is debate on baseball and basketball was invented by a Canadian, in america but it all depends
Flygonite
I read America as kickboxing and got really confused
Digbydoggonnit
Oh, yeah. I was right there with you.
Stitchy506
I was gonna complain until I saw this comment. I didn't even see American football as an option.
ConorVerified
You'll never beat the Irish! Not at gaelic anyway.
reaperhead
Im colorblind, what does CA say?
Dontdearabbyme
California says basketball
Crazyaussiecanadian
Australia plays Ireland every year in an AFL / Gaelic crossover game called "International rules"

MrPhucket
Bhutan with archery is pretty cool. That is the first time I have heard of them though.
MrPhucket
I just spent 10m reading Bhutan's wiki. Interesting stuff.
Pootah
Now spend a minute listening to the old audio version of the wiki page on Bhutanese passports.
MrPhucket
Omg.... This is perfect. Thank you.
melovinci
I'd argue that Australian rules football is more popular in Australia.
CoolHandTim
As an American who recently discovered the AFL, I can verify that it's an awesome sport and WAY more fun than rugby IMHO.
EliasFakanami
I thought this as well. So I googled. Aussie rules is the most popular according to Wikipedia.
taylaw84
Was coming down to say this. If we broke up the states like the US you’d have Rugby as the choice in NSW as well
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Spot on mate every country yet US states. Can't just be 1 country
HoneyWhereIsMySuperSuit
League not union though right?
taylaw84
Yeah in Melbourne Rugby is League, Union is Union
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Since storm before it's a different story
kiwiweewee
Only in Victoria i think. NSW would probably be Rugby League. So over all, cricket probably is the most popular.
taylaw84
Nah, not just Victoria. WA, SA/NT and Tasmania are all AFL mad too
BESTtaylorINAUSTRALIA
Tassie wants the Hawks real bad
lychgate
AFL is bigger overall than NRL nation wide.
Denth
As a Canadian, the “Ice” before Hockey is not required, there is no other Hockey. #sorry
InTheDistanceAPlaintiveEnglishHorn
I don't really know any other type!
DrYoloMcSwagmasterIIIEsq
How dare you talk shit about street hockey!
Somanyquestions
As a Canadian, there is street/cosom hockey. Technically same sport, but still.
TheActualDonKnotts
You heard it folks, there is no tonsil hockey allowed in Canada.
DavidBrooker
CAAAAAAAAAAAR!
Chainhealer
(Field) hockey is older and played by many more people.
CommunCreator
And watched by far fewer.
Chainhealer
Lol. Only the people watching from India alone exceeds the amount of people watching icehockey.
TheNayori1
Let's play a game. Without zooming in find the country in wich archery is the most popular sport
Abracanawbra
Nepal?
Seawolff81
It's whatever the country next to Hati/Dominican Republic is
cousteau
The tiny one right of Nepal. (Bhutan I think.) I did enjoy this game; was expecting a microstate.
EmergencyAbortionSavingsAccount
Bangladesh?
KZDM
Found that, I'm looking for white/no information still
justinetheging
Right/East of Australia
KZDM
THANK YOU
AeonQuasars
Looks like it's around middle east. As not particularly good in geography in that area, could it be Qatar?
Amythyst
TIL the area between India and China is the Middle East.
Tikityler
That all depends on where you live.
AeonQuasars
In my defence he said not to zoom and pink and red are very similar from distance. Meh.
Rajinrune
Sure, how hard could it be? Ok, looking for pink... Holy fuck china, your purple ass is distracting..
Rajinrune
2) wrestling?! Mongolia you have failed me! Seriously, your claim to fame was conquering the world with horse archers, wtf happenedman!?
Rajinrune
3) come on you little pink bastard, where are you hiding? Indonesia? You're not pink :(
Rajinrune
4) why the hell sis i agree to this while using mobile? Fuck it, i'm zooming. Tap image, zoom. Oh, come on imgur, zoom the damn thing!
Rajinrune
5) took 3 attempts but i got it to zoom. Now where is it. Someone said middle east? Not seeing it. South America? Nope. Where the hell...
pepelovesbananas
Bhutan?

Cricket? Nobody understands cricket. You gotta know what a crumpet is to understand cricket.

Cricket is the recreation of a galactic war. Only humans are so tasteless to make a sport of it.
dullawolf
So much better than the new shit Michael shitass bay put out.

It's like what's a Muppet

A bit of crumpet is either part of baked good with holes for butter, or a good looking female person.

I have read all the Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy books several times and I still don't get cricket at all except that it lasts for days.

As an Aussie, it's the only thing I hate about summer. Oh, plus the snakes. And the hole in the ozone layer. But I think that's all.

I love test cricket. It's the only sport where I can drink a few beers, fall asleep on the couch then wake up without having missed anything

This is a quote from the Turtles.. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles if I'm not mistaken.. 1990.
iwasxyzzybeforeyouwereborn
Hmmm, crickets are like cicadas but with big hind legs. A crumpet is a cross between a crumhorn and a trumpet. But I'm otherwise confused.

A crumpet is an English muffin. Cricket is a sport originating in England.

Hurling too. Gaelic Football preferred in some counties and Hurling in others. Kilkenny not renowned for their football.
copingcabana
It's pronounced "gay lick ball"

billox
It probably should be Hurling instead of Gaelic football anyway
Rocksolleh
No it shouldnt
billox
You're right now that i googled it but i would of always thought hurling was more popular, suppose it depends on where you're from
Hurlerontheditch10
Just because its the most played doesnt make it the most popular its for those who cant play rugby football or hurling!!
billox
Ya i wouldn't have much interest in Gaelic thats why i was surprised that it said it was the most popular
VladimirPutinMyBallsInYourFace
Not a chance. You can draw a line from Dublin to Galway and counties above that pretty much don't play hurling at all.
billox
Thats very true but on the map it doesn't include the north either but doesn't matter either way... each to their own what sport they prefer
VladimirPutinMyBallsInYourFace
There's a lot of counties above that line, that arnt in the north. I would have liked to played hurling growing up, but it's not big here.
