[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 571284, member: 14557"] Depends from the sport. College route is true in mainly American sports, but not in all, especially smaller or more internationally popular ones. Pro sports are always highly competitive, not only in USA, international sports more so, because you don't compete against people from your own country, you compete against the players all over the globe. USA sports are somewhat unique because your most popular sports are not played seriously in that many other places. American football and baseball in very few other countries, basketball of course is played more commonly but isn't that popular outside both Americas, few southern European countries (and not that popular even there at least compared to other sports) and Lithuania and some other old Soviet countries. Of course we too have some sports that are only popular locally or in few countries or areas. In fact if I would tell some of my kids' sports you would be totally flabbergasted, never heard about that kind of sports, and still they are popular here and even have pro leagues. Some of these sports are also in Olympics. [/QUOTE]
