American Football<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

American Football is by far the biggest sport you'll find in America. The <\/span>NFL<\/span><\/a> is home to 32 professional teams competing over the 17-week long season. Each team is divided into two conferences, and each conference into four divisions of four clubs. The <\/span>Dallas Cowboys<\/span><\/a> are considered the most successful NFL team, followed by the <\/span>Chicago Bears<\/span><\/a> and the <\/span>Green Bay Packers<\/span><\/a>. In addition, the <\/span>Superbowl<\/span><\/a> is probably the most well-known sporting event in the NFL internationally, attracting millions of viewers from around the world. The game was actually created as part of a merger agreement between the NFL and AFL in 1970.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If what you're looking for instead is a crowd-drawing American football game outside of the mainstream of NFL and Superbowl, give college football a watch. This is where teams from universities, colleges, and military academies from across the country compete \u2014 and where many a future football hero is discovered!<\/span><\/p>\n

Baseball<\/b><\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The <\/span>MLB<\/span><\/a> is America's professional league for major league baseball, with 30 teams competing to win the championship. Teams are in either the East, West, or Central Divisions of the American or National League. Some of the biggest names in MLB are the <\/span>New York Yankees<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Boston Red Sox<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Philadelphia Phillies<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

You can also enjoy baseball at the minor league level, or <\/span>MiLB<\/span><\/a>. The minor league follows a similar pattern to college football in NFL, whereby college students compete with the potential of getting noticed by major teams. You have a huge number of teams to follow if you look into minor league baseball. 256 teams are independently owned though affiliated with one of the major leagues. In short, you are spoilt for choice for baseball games to watch whatever level you prefer. And since baseball is one of America's favorite pastimes you'll find plenty of places where you can have a go yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n

NBA<\/span><\/a> basketball is not only the professional league for North America, but is also considered the premier basketball league in the world. 30 teams compete within the NBA, these teams organized into two conferences of three divisions with five teams each. The <\/span>Toronto Raptors<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Golden State Warriors<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Cleveland Cavaliers<\/span><\/a> are amongst some of the most successful NBA teams.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

College basketball is governed by a number of athletic bodies, which divide the teams into divisions based on the number and level of scholarships athletes may be offered.
