Tough question. I was afraid you might ask. But for what it is worth here goes.
1. American Football. I was asked in New Zealand why it is called a grid iron !
2. Baseball
3. Basketball. I have been to 2 NBA games my whole life so maybe not really that high for me.
4. Golf. TV does not do it justice
5. Tennis. I played in college. Again much different in person.
6. Soccer. The sport I love to hate. Very unamerican. Not much scoring.
7. Track and Field. I'm still trying to understand how anybody can make a living in track and field.
8. Skiing. Any kind any where !
9. Skating. Any kind any where again.
10. Fishing. Probably not a sport but I would not put Motor Sports, Wrestling or Martial arts in the sports category.

Interesting how the NHL (Hockey) never made your list. Huge money and with only 7 teams in Canada and the rest in the US (23 teams). Mega millions in business generated.
NASCAR - massive money ... again not on your list.
