American football is a sport where two opposing teams attempt to score points by moving an inflated oval ball past a goal line. The ball can be advanced by carrying the ball or throwing it from one teammate to the other. Points are scored when a member of either team carries the ball across the opposing team's goal line and into their end zone, or when the ball is kicked from anywhere in the field of play and through the upright goal posts. The team with more points when time has expired wins. It is sometimes considered the most popular spectator sport in the United States. The major professional league is the NFL.
Basketball is a sport in which two teams of five players each try to score points by throwing a ball through a hoop. It is primarily an indoor sport, played in a relatively small playing area, called the court. The speed and grace of the game, combined with the close proximity of the spectators to the action, make basketball an exciting spectator sport. It is one of the most popular sports in the United States, and is also popular in other parts of the world.
Ice hockey is a team sport played on ice. It is one of the world's fastest sports, with players on skates capable of going high speeds on natural or artificial ice surfaces. It is very popular in Canada but has a comparably strong following in certain regions of the United States, notably the Northeast, the Northern Midwest, and Alaska.
