Anyway, I grew up loving football and a huge Saints fan, even through the Ditka/Mora years, but I loved to play basketball even though I tried out all 4 years of HS and never made the team. I've started to follow hoops much more recently but football is still my preference. Also, football is undoubtedly king in the US of A. The guy above who said that football is slipping in popularity is delusional. 15,000 fans showed up to watch the Saints/Pats PRACTICE a couple weeks ago. It wasn't even a game, and stadiums sell out for games that don't count. How could you say that football has slipped in popularity? It's as popular as it ever was.
