I assume most guys enjoy watching sports,but many girls are crazy about it. For many years the favorite sport in our country has been Basketball. Basketball games draw a very large audience. Year after year the most important games have attracted many millions of viewers. soccer is also very popular. Indeed, most guys in China list soccer as their favorite sport. Soccer is almost as popular as basketball. Other sports which many people enjoy watching include tennis, boxing, and Pingpong.
What do you like watching in your country?What's your nation's favorite spectator sport?

Well I am guessing that it would have to be football, but there is also tennis and that seems to be popular for some unknown reason. Oh and cricket another sport that is popular but I just do not get the gist of at all!! Rugby, boxing, yes we have a lot of sports that people love to go to watch.
The only one of the sports that I like out of those I put is boxing, this is my favourite of all as it is so exciting and is good to watch when you are out in a pub!!

I live in Australia. There is not many sports that an Aussie won't watch. The TV stations show everything from four codes of football (AFL, Rugby Union, Rugby League and Soccer), to the cricket and a range of motor sports. Not only that but the live venues are also drawing large crowds.
From a personal perspective I like watching the cricket the most. However AFL and Rugby League are pretty good to.

Here in the States , it is football.Everything stops in some cities when their team plays.It is the reason Thanksgiving is such a holiday.We give thanks by eating too much and watching football on t.v.and Super bowl should be a national hoilday.

Here in the Philippines it's definitely basketball. We are largely influenced by the U.S.A., even more amplified by Michael Jordan.
And thanks to Manny Pacquiao the whole nation watches boxing everytime he has a fight.

Hi,for my country, the Philippines, i have to say, boxing. Since Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao has been winning titles upon titles, people here are religiously supporting his matches. Moreover, movie houses are cashing in this that they televise live his fights and earn from it. And everytime he wins, there is always the hero's welcome and he parades around the city. LOL...

Oh, by the way, many kids and adults are getting into this sports. Many right now are following in his steps...Regarding, Manny Pacquiao, he solds out tickets for his fights in Las Vegas and many Filipinos living in the US watch his fight. Even people from here take a trip to the US just to see him fight... hehehe...for me, can't afford that

In Bangladesh, I think it's cricket as well as football.
I like cricket better. But during both cricket and football world cups people go crazy here.
Oh! By football I mean soccer , not rugby.

I'm a girl, and I'm not too crazy about being a spectator of sports. I much prefer doing them rather than just watch
My country's favorite spectator sports would be footbal (but not the american version, the english one that's also called "soccer") and badminton. When there's an event that's related to those 2 sports, people just go crazy. There was this news recently that said 2 brothers robbed a house just to get money to watch a badminton tournament.

I'd have to say American Football first, then Basketball and then Baseball. Others would include hockey and wrestling. My favorite is American football and World Wrestling Entertainment aka WWE.
