Baseball is America’s favourite pastime and hockey is Canada’s sport but football is the most popular sport in North America right now. The NFL is considered the most profitable league and it’s simple to see why: the massive stadiums pack ten times the number of fans any arena can and despite only having 16 regular season games, each’s importance is magnified making fans get into the game.
