I was reading an article the other day talking about television networks and their advertising revenues when I came across this interesting fact. The article was giving data about the two most popular outdoor sports in the USA.
They keep statistics on how many people go to these events and how many people are directly involved and then they plug it into some formula to rank popularity. Remember we are talking about sports that are strictly outdoors.
Birdwatching is one of the 2 most popular outdoor activities or sports. No Joke. Birdwatching or birding. Birdwatching as a sport is a little like bass fishing tournaments, humans and nature, not teams against teams. Birding is similar to fishing as a sport because there are bird spotting and bird identification competitions.
You would be amazed at how many people are birding these days and it is a low-cost hobby or sport to participate in. One last thing I want to mention about the expenses involved in this sport is that many birders invest in a quality pair of bird binoculars to get the most out of their birdwatching trips. If you are going to do serious fishing, you will spend about the same amount.
No kidding. I could not believe the second most popular sport is NASCAR racing. But looking at the stats I can see how they got to that conclusion. What makes this such an incredibly popular sport is that there are hundreds of thousands of fans attending the NASCAR events, and there are a lot of them being held all around the country. I was astounded by this discovery.
However, what makes this such an incredibly popular event is that there are hundreds of thousands of fans attending the NASCAR events, and there are a lot of them being held all around the country. It would take 5 or 6 sold out games at Fenway Park to equal the attendance of one popular NASCAR event. That is how they came up with birdwatching and NASCAR as the top two outdoor sports
It was a little reassuring that when I told other people about what I read in the paper, they were surprised to learn the two most popular outdoor sports in America are birdwatching and NASCAR racing.
NASCAR racing is a popular topic among Daniel’s friends. So stop by and check out some articles on Nascar and get the Nascar schedule and news at his website. What a laugh! Birdwatching and NASCAR in the same sentence!
