Most popular sports in 1988

Answer 1

Mostly, the same as in the 2000's.

In the States, there may be a little more interest in soccer and lacrosse now than there used to be, but otherwise, I don't think much has changed. The chief popularity remains grid iron football, Baseball and Basketball.

Rebound handball [wall/extreme downball] was among the most popular neighborhood games in eastern United States in the 1970's.

In Australia, the main changes have been that the rugby codes - always popular in the north-eastern states - have spread further south, and Australian football - always popular throughout the southern states - has travelled north. Basketball has gone ahead over those decades in leaps and bounds [no pun] and national competitions are now run in all three that didn't previously exist.

The prime sports in the 1970's were the football codes at state levels in winter and swimming, beach, cricket and tennis in summer. Nowadays, there is a very wide sports' spectrum in Australia, and a lot more respect between the codes.

By far the two most popular school ground and neighbourhood sports in the 1970's were rebound handball [wall downball] and end-to-end Australian footy

School policies and changes in ground outlay since the 1970's have forced young people to other interests.

Somewhere, the most popular sport in the 1970's was Hukuna mutata but it is now known as hurdles.
