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.

American football, baseball and basketball shouldn't be on there while volleyball, cricket and tennis should be.

For me personally its rugby or cricket, the first of which is what New Zealand is best in the world at and the second is just really interesting.

 

it seems Asia influences that list pretty heavily, they only have upwards of 3 billion people there.
