Most Popular Sports in the 1920s

Here are the sports that FAQ Farmers think were most popular in the 1920s:

• I studied this in school and the answer is 100% correct: baseball.

• I think the most popular sport in the 1920's was baseball.

• Soccer

• I think that it is very hard to suggest what sport was the most popular in the 20's. This was a time when more and more people were starting to see and hear more about sports, either by going to stadiums or on the radio. It was the first time that people in the middle class could actually play sports like golf. I hope this helps.

• Soccer, of course.

• It was really two sports: baseball and football. According to research, when people went to a stadium to see these sports, the stadiums got full. The second most popular were horse races and the international competitions (horse derby's most likely).

• Boxing and baseball. Football and basketball began getting popular in the 1950's and 1960's, I believe.

• It was, without a doubt, boxing and baseball.
