I think this thread should be moved to Factbooks and National Information.

My nation's sport is football, aka "soccer" for my fellow Americans.

American football is the most popular, but baseball is recognized as the national sport.

international basketball is a little different, different paint size, different rules, different feel...us basketball has a lot more action in the paint...to me it is a lot more exciting because international ball (ie euro basketball) is a lot more shooting outside the paint not as aggresive

Football. No, not the American kind. They kind where all the violence is OFF the field.
Fighting genocide in the name of that which is noble, even in the face of sixty times our number.

Our national sport is arena/pit fighting in an arena like setting. Contestants can earn quite the honour if they survive the brutal combat.

Shinny. It's a traditional game from the Blackfoot tribe. A bit like lacross, shinny is played with sticks about three feet long that have a slight curve at the end and the playing ball is traditionally about the size of a baseball though children's leagues use larger balls. It's played on a long course where the object of one team is to throw the ball over the goal line of the opposing team. Apanii's current all-star men's shinny player is Russel "Thunderstrike" Kipp of the Elk Dog Shinny Club. The current all-star women's shinny player is Auralee Last Star of the Medicine Lake Shinny Club.

OMG, It's so obvious! Of course!! Science has lied to us!!!

It's time to abandon scientific progress and only look towards the Lord Jesus Christ (who is white of course) for guidance in all matters!
