Sports in the United States are an important part of the national culture. However, the sporting culture of the U.S. is different from that of many other countries, especially those in Europe. Compared to any other nation, Americans prefer a unique set of sports. The most popular sport in most countries (soccer) is a minor sport in the U.S. compared to the four most popular team sports (baseball, American football, basketball and ice hockey). The major leagues of each of these sports enjoy massive media exposure and are considered the pre-eminent competitions in their respective sports since relatively few other countries play them (especially football) to any significant extent. Also, sports are organized differently in the U.S. than in many other countries, with schools and colleges and universities playing an important role.
