Football and Baseball are definitely the best, but the reason they aren't so popular is simple. The chance to pick up and play. Football and Baseball takes a lot of strategy and players, so it is harder to understand for viewers.
In terms of ease it goes like this:
Tied for first: Soccer and Basketball. Can 1v1 and it is still the same or 2v2, 5v5 and etc. for a full game. Just find a field/urban landscape to put 2 goals in.
3rd: Hockey, similar to Soccer and Basketball but requires more equipment.
4th: Football, Requires more people than a 1v1 to actually play football, otherwise you just throwing it back and forth.
5th: Baseball, Similar to Football, but requires more equipment.

I'd say football is easier to pick up than hockey. All you need is the ball, a group of people and then pick two opposite areas as touchdown areas.

You need a lot of people to play real football though. Hockey can just be 1v1 with 2 hockeysticks in a street.

American football is, by far, the most popular sport in this country, so I'm not sure what you mean there. Also, don't know about anyone else, but football was, by far, the most common sport we played when I was growing up. We had a dozen or more kids running around all the time and all we needed was a football. Touch on pavement, tackle on grass.

Its only popular in USA, with a minor amount of interest in Canada, Mexico, UK.
Yes I only played Football too. It still required quite a bit of coordination to get a good game going with a lot of people. And most times we could only play pseudo football with either no rush or 5 count rush.
