the typical american sports ARE being played by most other countries, except on a lower level. Holland has a icehockeycompetition and a national team that kinda sucks. American football is gaining popularity since we have the world bowl and the amsterdam admirals are a pretty good team, though this season is a losing one. Basketball is very popular in holland, though lately they no longer win important european cupmatches. Baseball on the other hand is going quite well, holland is champions of europe for years now and some players might make it to the major league. So you see, we DO play your sports and enjoy them too
