It's interesting to me that the second most popular sport isn't that huge. Germany only has 1 team sport with national popularity?

pretty much. All other teams sports combined don't even come close to football, in both spectators and players.

Football has 7,000,000 players
Handball has 750,000 players
Volleyball has 430,000 players
Basketball has 200,000 players
Hockey has 82,000 players
American Football has 55,000 players
Ice Hockey has 25,000 players
Baseball/Softball has 23,000 players
Rugby has 14,000 players

7,000,000 players? The vast majority of them have got to be amateurs, right?
