actually, the most popular sport is soccer or football...
USA may have NBA, but the americans prefer playing soccer than basketball...
In europe, it's also soccer. One proof is the EUFA, it's a soccer league for European teams by the way. They don't have in style basketball teams resembling to Real Madrid of Spain, Manchester United of England, which are soccer teams...
In Asia, even though you might say in the Philippines, basketball is popular, in other countries such as vietnam and malaysia, the number one sport is soccer..
Another proof are FIFA and the very popular and exciting world-cup, right?
so i presume, we shouldn't say it's anyone's perception.. because it's an inevitable fact.. and it has been proven for several years already...
