Mike, your argument is flawed beyond belief. You're making the classic argumentum ad populum fallacy.
"Most exciting sport" should be indicative of some element of high energy, tempo, performance and proficiency on the field of play irregardless of its popularity or public activity off the field.
Most exciting does not mean most popular. In some cases, it might not even mean most entertaining.
In other words: You're judging the excitement of sport based on how many people fanatically follow it and its television ratings. If that's all the criteria you need to make your argument, then Britney Spears is the best singer, McDonalds has the best food and Dora the Explorer is the best television show.
And the most exciting sport is actually soccer.
