Why do Americans like football s much? Why do Canadians like hockey so much? Keeping in mind I don't mean everyone but rather the general population... HOCKEY RULES!!!!

In the Japanese culture, things that are "American" are very cool and very hot to obtain. A pair of Levi's Jeans in Japan can go for over $100 (when they sell here for around $30). They want anything that is identified as American. . . And what do we call baseball here in the US? "America's past time". So it is cool to play the sport because it is an American sport. Golf is also coming around in Japan. . .
Hope this answers your question adequately. . .
