That’s how it has always been. Like since inception, cricket
has been perceived as more appealing than other sports. And with personalities
like that of Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Azhar, Sehwag, Dravid, Sachin, Dhoni
and more, its popularity only spiked high.
As far the other sports are concerned, in recent times, they
did have climbed up in the spotlight. Like football, MMA, tennis and even
badminton boasts a massive following today. Nothing, however, comparable to
cricket.
Media always focus more on cricket. Sponsors always put more
money in cricket matches. So people get to hear, see more of cricket. And since
more people are watching this sport, more sponsors and media will invest in and
talk about it. It’s like a cycle.
But it’s not bad. We shouldn’t be complaining about it. Like
in Brazil, Soccer is more popular; in USA, Football (rugby) is at the top;
people in Canada obsess Ice Hockey. Every country leans toward particular sport.

Well, at best, the question is not only controversial but extremely subjective. Why do you want to compare apples and oranges?! Both of these sports have their separate appeal, with their unique fan base.You simply cannot comparefootball and cricketon any ground.
Cricket is more popular in Asia and Australia,Football inEurope andAfrica.(Much like Basketball andRugby intheUSA!) Each of the sportshasmillions and millions of fans. The presiding body of each of themplaysin billions of dollars. The athletes on bothsidesmake big money(and have to work equallyhard).Both of them give spectators some very thrilling moments andmemorable matches.What Sir Donald Bradmanand Sachin Tendulkarareto cricket,PeléandDiegoMarado
Football and Cricket, both of them are adored byan equally frenzied fan base.There’s no way one can answer whichsportis better. They are perfectly balanced.And onehasto be either biased orignorant to take one name over other.
