In North America, basketball, baseball, and football 
are among the most popular sports. However, that’s not true throughout the world.
It’s fair to say that soccer (known as 
"football") is the most popular sport in the world. In fact, it’s the national sport or the most popular sport for more than 40 countries!
Because China has over 1 billion people and many Chinese play table tennis, table tennis is one of the most played sports in the world.
