Yes i can kind of see what you are saying there. but when you play golf you usually play against people but i would say most people fish on their own and not competitively. and a sport has to be competitive if you ask me.

Back to topic: For a reason why Great Britain isn't competitive at basket, has any sport not invented in Great Britain become big in Great Britain?

Athletics?

IIRC it was part of the ancient Olympics so I would guess the Greeks.
