How does the culture of Spain show in your topic?

My topic for this assignment is basketball in Spain. As I eluded to in my previous post, some things in America are popular and in Spain not so much, and vice versa. In America basketball is extremely popular among the public. The National Basketball Association is one of the most successful organizations among any professional sport. In Spain basketball is popular too, however not as popular as soccer. If you took a survey in Spain of people who play soccer and people who play basketball, the majority would say soccer. Since soccer has been around for s long in Spain, it hasn't really adapted to the basketball life yet. However, soon enough basketball will start to challenge soccer in Spain considering its recent rise in popularity. Although, for now, soccer will continue to remain supreme.
