Since the late 1800s, most Americans have regarded Baseball as the "national pastime." But since the 1950s, there has been tremendous growth in the popularity of football, and many people would suggest that football has overtaken baseball in popularity. However, America does not really have an official national sport the way some countries that are "soccer-mad" do; soccer (called "football" in other countries, but a different game from American football) never really took hold here, and our national teams are not as widely followed as they are in other countries.

===============================

The National Sport of the United States is Baseball. That's is one of the reasons they call it the Great American Pastime.

The National Sport of the United States is Baseball. That's is one of the reasons they call it the Great American Pastime.

However, A national sport or national pastime is a sport or game that is considered to be an intrinsic part of the culture of a nation. Some sports are de facto (not established by law) national sports, as baseball is in the United States, while others are de jure (established by law) national sports, as Lacrosse and Ice Hockey are in Canada.
