    Used to be football which is not shocking considering the 49ers history. It changed to baseball several years back though.

    Football (soccer for the dumbasses). Unfortunately, basketball is ten times the sport football is so there's that.

    Nothing has changed. Poor Bucks get no love around here.

    I'd say it's

    Packers
    Badger Football
    Brewers
    Badger Hockey
    Badger Basketball
    Seahawks (people here love them cause Wilson was a badger for 1 year. Annoying af)
    Bucks

    Closet city is St. Louis, baseball is definitely #1. When we had the Rams it was

    1. Baseball (Cardinals)
    2. Hockey (Blues)
    3. Football

    Seen it mentioned on an ESPN article than in the US NBA is closing in on the NFL. NFL has a lack of stars & declining tv ratings.

    in terms of pure dollars, nfl still has a comfortable lead i'd imagine. in the public consciousness, yeah, i'd say the nba is closing the gap. it's a combination of the nba coming back after its late-2000s competitive lull (where all the stars were aging and lebron was stuck in an outpost); the mounting information about football's dangers; a terrible, terrible nfl regular season and playoffs; and a new crop of young nba stars.

    Think it's mainly Europeans that get upset because you call it Football and call Soccer, Soccer. It's just 20x easier for Americans and Australians to call it Soccer.
