4: Football , not Soccer

Cant see balling in there for some time, where did you get that stat from.


You get kids in Kenya and the lowest GDP countries playing footy, can see many of them getting timmies and having a few games.

I think its 3rd most played "xtreme" sport. Anyway, I think that fact is slightly weighted by counting all the punters who have played once as a "player", but there you go.

snowboarding

"I'm guessing thats meant to be 3rd most popular extreme sport....just above snowboarding i think. "

I think that's a bit wrong - you go to your average popular ski resort in Jan/Feb/March and in a single weekend you'll see more boarders than you would if you added up all the paintball players at UK tournaments throughout a year.

There's also the issue over what exactly constitutes an extreme sport, if there is such a thing.
