Hello dear myLotter friends. I am in Canada. Here in Canada, ice hockey is the most popular sport game. Everybody likes to play and everybody likes to watch. I did too when I still had the strength to skate. But, now I only sit in front of the TV and watch the games. It is a really fast game ! What is the most popular sport game there in your country ? Do you play too ?

Hi greenline, here in Malaysia, people are very fond of playing badminton. There are outdoor badminton courts available in almost every school here. We could see kids and adults playing outside their houses happily in the evening as well, though they don’t have any courts. Office workers as well as people working in other fields like to play badminton as a good form of exercise to keep their body healthy and fit after work Therefore badminton could be considered as the most popular sport in my country. When I was young I liked playing badminton with some of my colleagues in the evening. We played in the indoor badminton two days a week. We hired the court for 2.5 usd for every two hours. We usually sweated a lot after the games. We played the game in the single, double and the mixed doubles. nowadays I’m no longer playing such game anymore and I spend most of my leisure sitting in front of the pc typing mylot posts. If there is any attractive badminton tournament live cast I will watch it for sure Have a nice day and happy posting!

Thanks very much greenline everything here going well like usual. Hope you doing well and enjoy your days very much. I no longer play badminton at present anymore as my most of my badminton friends have switched they interest to line dance They keep griping that it's exhausted after playing an hour or so of badminton, but they say they feel energetic even they spend the same amount of time doing the line dance

Here in Philippines, people are very fun of basketball. With almost the same popularity, their goes boxing, and a little less popular is chess, bowling, volleyball and billiards. I love all those sports except that I dont know how to play bowling. I watch articles regarding sports update, and usually, these are the most dominant topics featured.

Couldn't have said it better. Basketball is a major sport here. But due to international appearances of Manny Pacquiao and Efren Reyes, boxing and billiards are becoming popular here in the Philippines.

Oh Canada! To be in a counrty who loves hockey as much as I! Here in the States footbal is king! I like it and I did play flag football in gym class but hocke is the better game. Where else do you have the beauty of soccer, the toughness of football and the grace of ice skating rolled into one hell of a sport?!

I live in America, and I think the most popular sport in America is baseball. Its the nations pastime but it seems to me that I hear more about football than anything. So for now it may be baseball, but sooner or later football will take over (if it hasn't already). And yes, I have played both.

I think the most popular sport in the U.S. is football. Seems like a lot of people look forward to the Sunday games on television. I could really care less about sports though. I might catch a game or two if I feel like watching.

Hello, I'm from Haiti, and the most popular sport people play in Haiti is Soccer. I myself love playing, but only when I have time. When I was living in Haiti, I've been playing soccer with my cousins and friends every day until evening. My parents always were complaining that I play too much instead of working more. When coming to America then that's when I took my soccer skill more serious with friends I had met. My friends and I often play in a school field or inside a building when raining too much. Everybody in Haiti sometime have time for fun to play soccer in a field. I even collect a ton of games for the PS2. When I'm totally bored then that's when I would play my Fifa games.

American football. No doubt. Any American who says otherwise must be thinking in their own state, or something else. I keep saying American football so no one will mistake it for what everyone else calls football and we call soccer. College football and pro football are incredibly popular. I can't even begin to explain how much that sport is loved here.

Hello Pam. Yes, I see the American football games on the TV all the time. I was once in a city where the college competition was going on, and it was amazing how the streets were so crowded with people going to the ballgame.

Table tennis is the most popular sport game in my country, China. Here, in my country, people often say that China has always been dominant in its national sport of table tennis. With the popularity of table tennis, there are lots of people who are good at this sport game and spend much time on it. After the whole day work, or after class, we often play this sport with my friends. In fact, I am good at playing table tennis too. Besides, we often spend some time on playing footable too.

I live in Costa Rica and the footballl soccer is the most popular game as in every part of the world. I like to play it and to watch it sometimes. Here we cannot play Hockey because it never snow in the winter. I think the reason why soccer is so popular is because yo don't need to be very tall like basketball or very strong like american football or hockey. Is a sport for everyone.
