Very broad. One could make a case for almost any activity.

I always liked hockey but now that I'm older I get really into watching Juniors hockey games when I can, the leagues like Quebec Major Junior and Ontario Hockey League. Those kids will be the next NHL stars in only a few years and it's fun to watch a kid like McDavid play Junior and then see him jump to the NHL the next season. Those games in OHL, QMJHL etc are pretty good hockey.

We had that team here in Niagara Falls,they were called the "Thunder".

They moved to Erie when our cheap city council wouldn't build them a new arena:(

I had season tickets from the beginning,good times.

It's popular because it's great as a spectator sport. And motor bikes ......... well, just aren't.

I've never met a singe person in my life who hasn't thrown a ball around. EVER. I've met only some that have ridden motorcycles. And I've met maybe one or two who have moto-crossed.

Bottom line is everyone can play ball sports. You can be dirt poor with no parents and still play ball. Takes money to get into bikes. Even a cheap fixer up bike takes money that so many people don't have.

Bout as easy a question as there is.
