Apologies for yet another non music thread, but you're such a helpful bunch. *grin*

Here in England, football (soccer) has historically been the 'working man's game', whereas cricket has been much more of a 'middle class' pursuit. We also have two different types of rugby. Stereotypically, 'union' is a bit posh, but 'league' is northern and 'working class'

I'm wanting to find out whether such differences exist in the USA. Is there a social 'type' who would be more likely to be drawn to basketball than baseball or gridiron football etc.?

Are there regional differences?

Thanks for any thoughts

Jim
