Exposure is a basic major problem. Basketball is very exposed in this country. Proving it, just look around you basketball courts are scattered all over the country not only that media is also a big influence on how it became famous but as i had experience basketball is a challenging sport and it is not too hard to introduce because whether you're a girl or a boy, rich or poor, lame or not..you could play it as long as you have the interest in learning it.,so we all know that the people will go on what is in. Just like what others point of view i guess education is the key., begin to educate students or people in a small community just like in school by promoting or introducing other sports besides basketball.. (this would help the country decrease crime rate.right?) For me, exposures of other sports in the country via formal education is one of the factor to grow pinoys interest and passion toward other sports besides basketball not only that but it will also help revive our traditional sports in the PhilippinesSoftball and soccer for example. Dami kaya may di alam kung ano ang softball. Pero, a lot of Filipinos are really good at softball and are joining international comepetitions. Yun nga lang, invitational and mga private conferences. They're really good but they aren't getting enough support from the Filipino masses. I would know because I'm a soccer player who has been to so much invitational competitions na.No amount of gold medals abroad (unless you're fighting for a WBC belt in boxing) and beatings you take can surpass the privileges and perks of becoming a basketball player in the PBA. PBA is a proprietary entity and will recruit the best players because it attracts fans and viewers who watch the games and watch the channels that boost the advertising rates of the time slot save the corporate sponsors of the basketball teams. We need marketing people to try to somehow effect some attitude changes to our people that basketball is not only the enjoyable sport for Filipinos. I think if we reward our unsung athletic heroes there is still hope for the country to shine in the field of sports. I hope time will come that corporations pay our football players as much as the basketball players.

I'm South African and our soccer team isn't that good. But we have just about every other kind of sport, Rugby is BIG we won the world cup 1995. Cricket is HUGE, we are currently the no1 cricket nation in the world. Swimming, we have won gold medals in the last 3 Olympic Games.

In the US, American Football is the biggest...Baseball and basketball follow (maybe not in that order though). Soccer, Hockey and NASCAR are all becoming more and more popular as the years pass on.

Number 1 in Canada is Hockey! The rest of the world doesn't know what it's missing. It's the only sport in the world where players can be substituted while the play is going. Very fast, physical, and exciting.
