I don't see how Formula 1 racing becomes America's sport. first, on TV it is more boring than golf. Also, there won't be too many kids driving up and down the streets in mini-formulas 1s at 10 years-old. Football is it for the south and mid-west. But in more educated areas, parents don't want their kids brains beaten in before they get to college. Around here, the hardest high school teams to make are basketball and soccer, both boys and girls. They don't need much equipment and the risk of injury is lower. It makes me sad to see how commercialized playing the sport has become, but more than baseball, I still see lots of kids organizing their own games of soccer and basketball.
This is my take as well, with the added point that baseball season runs through the hottest part of the year. I don't think it's an accident that the most popular baseball teams are in NYC, Chicago, Boston and Cleveland, and places where it's just pleasant to be outside on a summer evening. (I think Tampa and Miami and the TX teams have retractable roofs.) This at least partially accounts for why baseball isn't as popular a pastime down south.
