Which sport is the most popular?
Playing around with the new Google Trends and there are some really interesting things you can learn about people/the world/pop culture/habbits/the list goes on. See here the graph of searching for the five main sports
baseball
football
basketball
golf
hockey
If you look at the results via the website, you learn that St. Louis likes baseball more than any other town, but its still only the third most popular sport at this point (according to Google searches, an admittedly narrow reflection). Austin has the most searches for any one sport all together, and it was Football. Also interesting is that there are more searches in English for Golf than any other sport but Football, and the margin its behind on that is minimal.
