well fishing is actually the most popular "sport" in the UK but i dont personally agree with calling it a sport!
bascially we love your sport and love getting excited about it but generally build our sports stars into something there not. We do also have a history of underacheiveing in sport which many put on the underinvestment, lack of structure for development, and also the relatively poor weather.
i would go as far to say Britain is the home of sport:
Lots of sports invented or had their rules defined in GB:
Association Football (Soccer)
Rugby
Golf
Tennis
Hockey
plus loads more |

| You cant beat a bit of snooker. Although I dont think it's classified as a sport either. |
