I live in Europe and I wanted to ask which sport is more popular accross the States after NFL.Is it baseball or NBA?
Now, about the question on sox and patriots.I believe baseball in general is a special sport, mostly because of its 162-game season.It's hard for someone to be a trully faithfull fan and watch all the games however the fact that there is a game on almost every day makes it easier to familiarize with the players and the team.
If you're a patriot fan you 'll see your team's next game in about 8 months.That makes it hard to keep on...wearing gear around the year.
