Nope. The USA is obsessed with USA football. There are now Spring professional football teams. Then there’s baseball. Hockey is all professional. Most college hockey is rarely on TV. Very different from the rest of the world.

We actually know about your professional sports very well. We have hockey players and even some basketball players moving to the US for big money, and people follow them.

It doesn't mean our own ice hockey league wouldn't be professional, it's not just as big money involved. Likewise elsewhere in Europe. Same with football (soccer for you), basketball, volleyball, and here we have our own Finnish baseball game, too.

But naturally games of the national team are more important!

What we don't have is college sports. Here education is for studying, not sports. Any sports there is, is a hobby, like there are plenty of other hobby clubs. For us sports scholarships are totally incomprehensible, unless you are actually studying sports, like becoming a PE teacher. And, well, actually even then you really need to pass the entrance criteria, they don't really make much exceptions.

I find the cultural differences between countries so fascinating. I love the idea that colleges are meant for study and education only. Somehow the recreational aspects of a college education here took off to become big business.

Our national teams only get attention around the Olympics otherwise it is regional sports team.
 
From your experiences, where did you get the best coffee served to you and the worst? I will start: the best coffee was a small town diner when I started working out of college. I never knew the brand of coffee but at 7 am, it tasted great. The worst was Starbucks at the airport. Actually all Starbucks coffee tastes burnt.
