People tend to like and watch sports that they play.
People that like to watch football often played themselves at one time, usually in their youth. They can relate to it. I did, I watch it (at least occasionally).
People that like to watch basketball often played themselves at one time, usually in their youth. They can relate to it. I didn't. I HATE basketball (because I was never really good at it), so I'd rather paint the house than watch a game.
I'd NEVER watch golf on TV before I actually started playing.
It's hard for many southern Americans to like hockey because they can't relate ( I say southern because hockey IS popular in the northern US.). The average American has never ice skated, let alone play hockey. And the sport is damned expensive to play.
Baseball bat, glove, ball. $150 (modestly)
Basketball, $20 and the hoops are at the playground (free)
Hockey, I can't speak for everyone, but I've got a "decent" set of equip, and it cost over $1500 before you even hit the ice.
My $.02 anyways.
