Oh, and hockey and football should be reversed.

Now for a positive spin on this idea.

American football: Classical music (given how structured and "composed" play is. And a QB does seem like a conductor).

Soccer: Jazz (play is heavily improvised)

Baseball: Post-Rock (slow, ambient buildups to a crescendo).

Basketball: Jazz-Fusion (improvised play but with more "attitude.")

Cricket: Ambient ("comfy").

Hockey: Punk or Metal (fast and aggressive)

except punk/metal aren't irrelevant

Ouch.

American football is more like Math-Rock. It's full of complex nonsense which is actually quite boring after 5 minutes
