Sports in the United StatesUnfortunately, for many South Africans, many of their most popular sports such as Cricket, Rugby and Soccer are not mainstream sports in the United States. (Soccer is popular, however, in the Latino community; you may be able to watch soccer on television, but chances are it will be broadcast only in Spanish!)
Many South Africans may not be familiar with the most popular American sports. These include (American) football, ice hockey, basketball and baseball. The links below can help you become familiar with the most popular sports at the professional level. College-level sports are also very popular, so you may wish to look at the websites of some major universities to read up on their teams.
