To me as a European, that sounds pretty accurate.

Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995.

That's what most Americans think about cricket! The glazed look most people get when I try to explain it is hilarious. To be honest, some of it was a bit confusing to me switching from baseball too.
Americans call baseball the “national pastime” but test cricket often go on for longer than a whole weekend…
I say, old sport! Those savages from the colonies just have no culture!
TBH, I have absolutely no idea about cricket either.
Yeah, it seems like it's a very regional thing other than a few people like me that happen to latch on to something different!
To me as a European... I'm wondering if baseball is the national sport or American football?
Historically baseball was more popular but nowadays it's far behind American football. Basketball and soccer are more popular than baseball among younger people as well. Though this really only ranks Americans one favorite sport to watch, not sure how it splits up if all sports they watch or play are included
Baseball is called the “national pasttime,” but I don’t think it’s the most popular sport.
"yes"
(also basketball)
