Non American friendly? Basketball is big all around the world, baseball is huge in the Americas and Asia, soccer is huge everywhere but America, and hockey is popular in all cold weather countries. The only thing that should have been added, but as stated in the OP that they were limited to 6, is auto racing which is big everywhere.
If you were to make a list of the most popular sports worldwide they would probably go like this:
Soccer
Auto Racing
Basketball
Baseball
Hockey
Football
Football is only popular in Canada, US, and Mexico while the other have a worldwide presence.
