Second American Pastime

Have you ever heard that tap dancing is also known as ‘Second American Pastime’?  According to buzzle.com,
No one knows who, when and how it was created”
When I first read this about tap dancing, I didn’t know what it meant. But, I read it over again and really thought about how I tap EVERYWHERE. In school, in the grocery store, even when I’m in the car! Everywhere. Also, I thought about the first word of the phrase; ‘Second’.
This is might be a little off topic, but- What could be the first ‘American Pastime’ be? And also, do you agree with what I think about the ‘Second American Pastime’? Why or why not?

  1. Hey Maria! What an interesting article!(: I like how it says that tap dancers are basically percussionists because we make noises with our feet. I think that's so true because we make a lot of noise and it doesn't sound right without all the sounds in. I'm not sure what the first "American Pastime" would be...sorry):
