No, because in the US all the pubs have 12 TVs with something different, annoying and loud on all of 'em.

Nascar is supposed to be a low-class sport stereotypically, but the fan demographics are way up the education ladder and well into upper-middle-class salaries. Or so NASCAR fans keep telling me.

Golf is kind of a high-brow sport here, perhaps because it's expensive. Tennis and racketball have middle-class would-be-snob appeal, but any sport in the US has it's multi-class afficianados.

If you had to pick a lower-class sport, it's probably pro wrestling or ultimate fighting.
