Sports in the United States
Sports in the United States
are an important part of the
country's culture
. The four
major professional sports leagues in the United States
are
Major League Baseball
(MLB), the
National Basketball Association
(NBA), the
National Football League

All four enjoy wide-ranging domestic media coverage and are considered the preeminent leagues in their respective sports in the world, although only basketball, baseball, and ice hockey have substantial followings in other nations.
