Who got game? Not us.

The view from the top is certainly different. Americans bemoan the fact they no longer really dominate any sport - not even basketball or baseball! They are also tripping on other traditional strengths such as tennis and track & field. On the other hand, witness how the US is one of the world's leading football (the version played with feet on the ball) teams, better than many other countries football is a passion / national pastime. The real issue seems to be that Americans are no longer the world's best force in "their" sports!
