Can't rank sports based on this because


Sure you can. You can rank them based on % of people who claimed a sport as their favorite.

Obviously there could be a more detailed study done that would more effectively rank the overall "popularity" of a sport. Or you could get even more detailed and poll people about hours spent watching each sport, which would be an even better indication.

I may think I like college football more than MLB, but if I only spend 3 hours a week watching LSU play for 12 weeks, and I spend 3+ hours a day 5 days a week for 6 months watching the Red Sox or Nationals, which sport is truly my favorite?
