What sport would you like to see get big in the USA that isn't currently?

All the sports listed are pretty big globally but not in the US. 10 years ago soccer would have been on the list, but now soccer is a sport that is taking off to a certain extent.
Vote away.

mmmmmm.....pudding!


I picked F-1, but Rugby is a close 2nd. Rugby is big on a club level, but when I used to train down in Alabama, I worked with a couple guys who played for Battleship Rugby. They won a national title two years in a row. Tough guy sport, for sure. Broken collar bones all over the place.
