Quote: Lebron James "Rather than mock my post in a playground kind of way, prove me wrong. Around 90,000 people play rugby league in the UK. Compare that to tennis (400k) and cricket (1.7million) and whilst participation rates in cycling are hard to come by, 200,000 people took part in sky rides across the uk last year.
So yes, rugby league is a minority sport, played in the main, by lower socia-economic groups.

A lot of people play Tennis recreationally, rather than joining a club or league. It's the same as saying someone who goes down to the pool for a swim counts towards participation for swimming in the UK. You may now realise cycling is classed as the no.1 sport in England, again mostly due to recreational activities. 1.7m Cricket players? Try 148, 300.
