You said "stick and ball". You didn't say "football only".
Daytona 500: 7.7 rating/16 share - 13.3 million viewers

NASCAR for the season skimming through Jayski's list is averaging in the 4s I'd guess.
Indianapolis 500: 3.68 rating - 5.8 million viewers

ABC's regular season NBA television ratings have routinely finished between a 2.0 and a 2.5 ratings score. While these ratings compare favorably to the NHL's Stanley Cup Finals, it is extremely low by NBA standards. Thirty-nine (or just over a third of) NBA games on ABC have registered a 2.1 or lower rating.

They do great in the Finals, this past time they got an 10.6. But you said "touch stick and ball", and by my definition a random race getting double the rating of a random basketball game counts as touching and going past. Baseball in ratings is pretty similar to the NBA, and unless we're in Canada where it's far and away #1, I wouldn't mention hockey if I were you.
So you've been proven wrong with actual data. Anyone else have any logical fallacies they want to be cleaned up on?
