Basketball is the winter sport in American schools and colleges. Like football, bas-ketball originated in the US and is not popular in other countries. Many Americans prefer it to football because it is played indoors throughout the winter and because it is a faster game. It is a very popular game with high schools, and in more than 20 states, state-wide high school matches are held yearly.
Other spectator sports include wrestling, boxing, and horse racing. Although horse-racing fans call themselves sportsmen, the accuracy of term is questionable, as only the jockeys who ride the horses in the races can be considered athletes. The so-called sports-men are the spectators, who do not assemble primarily to see the horse race, but to bet upon the outcome of each race. Gambling is the attraction of horse racing.
