The United States is a sports−loving nation.Sports in America have different forms and most sports are seasonal,so what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the U.S.It is played throughout spring and summer,and professional baseball teams play well into the fall.Although no other game is exactly like baseball,perhaps the one most nearly like it is the English game of cricket.
Football is the most popular sport in the fall.The game originated(起源)as a college sport more than75years ago.It is still played by almost every college and university in the country,and the football stadiums(体育馆)of some of the largest universities seat as many as80,000 people.The game is not the same as European football or soccer.In American football there are 11players in each team,and they are dressed in padded uniforms and helmets(头盔)because the game is rough and injuries are likely to occur(发生).
Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges.Like football,basketball originated in the U.S.and is popular in other countries.Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game.It is a very popular game with high schools,and in more than20states,state−wide high school matches are held yearly.
