@@karenbaker7168I know they play it in bars, but I'm not sure if it's popular to watch as a proffesional sport. I get, its about as followed professionally as the British follow 9 ball pool. I wouldn't recognise any famous pool players, even though there is a pool table and team in most pubs in the UK. My friend has just moved to California from the UK to work, and he has joined a dart team in a local bar, I'm not sure if they play the same format as us though.

@karenbaker7168 Darts are popular here in the US but mostly as bar fun or league. I watch almost all PDC tournaments and have yet to meet a fellow American who even knows what the PDC is. Cheers from Detroit!

That's the pleasant difference (of many individual sports) to football. There is prize money of X amount and no van Gerwen, Wright, or whoever can say: "I'm not even traveling for that!" While 18-year-old "boys" are hyped by their advisors, earn millions and behave as if they have already achieved something in life. I am also a fan of my hometown's football team. But such “athletes” are extremely unpleasant.
