The 8 Most Popular Sports In The World

With over 3.5 billion fans, Soccer has long been and continues to be the most popular sport in the world. It has star power in Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, with rich contracts, global popularity, and the most popular championship event in the world in the World Cup. Moreover, the sport is really starting to take off in the United States. It was already the most popular sport in the world when America seemed to not care at all about the sport.
