NFL rated most popular sport again

Posted by Dan Salomone on January 17, 2013 – 9:00 am

According to The Harris Poll, the NFL has been once again rated the most popular sport by fans in America. Professional football (34 percent) edged out the next three professional sports combined — baseball (16), auto racing (8), and men’s pro basketball (7).

Meanwhile, the NFL’s popularity has risen seven percent over the past decade, which is the largest increase of any sport in that time span.
