After footie, which sport do you think ranks 2nd in world importance?

Wow, great question. Soccer (football) is truly the world's sport, and everything else is a distant second. As for second, probably basketball. Look at all the great NBA players from all over the world: Canada, Africa, Europe, Asia, South America, Australia.....every continent is represented. Same for tennis and golf, I guess, but those are individual sports, not team sports.
