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.
