Why do the Japs put baseball a sport no one but America plays in their games?

Why do the Japs put baseball a sport no one but America plays in their games?

Why not a football where it's played world wide but America?

No one but old fucks and trust fund babies gives a fuck about baseball in America. Football and basketball have completely supplanted it.

Big as fuck in Japan though.

Because "worldwide" never mattered and America is the only foreign country Japanese popular culture knows about.

Isn't baseball really huge in japan?

You do realize that baseball is like the biggest sport in japan right?

>a sport no one but America plays
Ignorant eurocuck spotted

Football fucking sucks. Soccer fucking sucks. The only game that takes skill is baseball.

Because Japs like baseball a hell of a lot more than gay sports like soccer.

They’re actually pretty big on real football too.

japs love the shit out of baseball
like, more than americans

Baseball is their biggest sport in Japan and by a large margin compared to other sports. That is the only reason. I'v been their 3 times and they have a shit ton of batting cages.

We have pesäpallo here in Finland, kinda like baseball but not.

What country are you from? Baseball is the only sport the Japanese actually care about you child.

are u sure about that

>tfw baseball is national sport in Finland

I genuinely think pesäpallo is more interesting than baseball. It's more complex and based on the whole team, instead of just the pitcher and the batter

> finlan is whiiiiiite :DDDDDD
> and mongolia :DD

...

>one shitty anime about soccer
They might be tied but baseball is deffinitely huge in japan so yes. Im sure about that.

Baseball is huge in Japan, hell I'd be willing to say it's probably the second biggest market for the sport outside of America.

Professional baseball relies on excellent and reliable team defense more than anything.

Hitters are too good at the top level for an ace pitcher to just hurl Ks all game and not worry about anything that needs fielded.

>Thinking a popular anime = biggest sport

Stop being deluded. Baseball is huge in Japan and the fans are a lot more dedicated then even American fans.

Not Latin America, where 45% of MLB players come from?

You don't deserve to eat mämmi if you think pesäpallo is the same as baseball

>Puroresu
YES.

Baseball was big in America around the turn of the 20th century right?

Baseball and Tennis are popular in Japan. Tennis the GOAT sport.

but it's a videogame series that is succesful enough to have 10+ games in it, meanwhile baseball just appears as minigame in other games. If baseball is so much more popular then that is odd.

>Latin America is one country.

>Market means country

Football didn’t really start to overtake it as America’s sport until about the 60s.

Basketball took until about the 80s to really start to emerge.

japan, australia, s. korea and half of south america play it, you pleb

Baseball is a natural part of their culture that’s why
In another case, most anime/manga that takes place in modern time will always depict baseball no matter the genre, but soccer/football only appear in the works that focus on it specifically

caribbean spics love baseball. the fick you talking about

I know this is a small reference frame, but out of the anime I watched recently that portrayed sports in them, himouto and tsurezure children, both had girl teams playing football in it but none had baseball.

Baseball is popular in USA, Japan, Canada, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and some other parts of central/south America.

The MLB is more alive now than it has been in the past 25 years. Please dont speak on things you know nothing about. The NFL wont exist beyond the 2030s and Apehoop is big sport with whitey again.

Mexico too, especially here in the northern states.

>Japanese not liking a sport where you swing a stick like a katana

As far as I'm aware, soccer/football tends to be popular among young teens in middle school, whereas high school students and onward focuses on baseball

>tfw only user here who plays sports vidya

Baseball is the most popular sport in Japan.

Football's ratings are in the toilet. NBA's ratings are the lowest they've been in decades. Baseball is bigger than basketball in America, but not as bigger as football.

The ps4's best exclusive is MLB the show

I play the fuck out of it. Too many whales in Diamond Dynasty though. I actually played against a guy who admitted to spending 10k to get the team he wants

>tfw I bought the ps4 for weeb games and the show.

Hustle Hustle
Muscle Muscle

The anime, Major, would like to have a word with you

Wouldn't be surprised if the NFL fell off the radar, especially with the sudden influx of political trash that has been alienating a good majority of its viewers.

baseball originated in england.

nice bait thread.

Basketball is the only god tier sport

Sumo is back baby!

Do you think the rise in traditional Japanese sports has any correlation with the increasing popularity of Buddhism as some sort of cultural resurgence?

>baseball originated in england

What the fuck, was that actually a minigame in ALBW? Either I missed it or my memory of that game is terrible, kinda makes me want to get it again

>being this fucking stupid

Baseball is equally, if not actually more, popular in Japan than the USA.

Yep, I think it's in the area where the flute kid was in ALttP. In the Dark World.

>all those cute girls

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_baseball
Sucks to be you.

>le rounders is baseball

Nah, I visit Sup Forums also. The only sports game I play consistently now is NBA 2k. I suck at MLB the show and Fifa. Madden is shit though.

>There are people this culturally ignorant of other countries

No wonder people always hate Americans.

I think they were talking about actual football not the weird game you guys call football.

Learn to use commas so I don't have to re-read your fucking post 5 times.

Only themselves to blame really. Its easy to dope in the NFL with steroid use when every one is already a 300 pound muscle giant, but when baseball players all suddenly start becoming olympian athelete 300 pound Herucleans with the ability to hit a homerun every time as well as sprint like a Nigerian, it becomes obvious, and very VERY boring to watch. Cheaters killed Baseball. Niggers killed football, Basketball was the only one that died due to no controversy and rather just loss of interest. Sports are dead in America.

Everyone except the Japs, who will continue to fellate America in their media and ignore everyone else. Stay cucked

Because baseball is the only sport worth a damn.

What are you talking about?

I can't play 2k anymore. I haven't played madden in years but I might just get the next iteration

>wwhy not this sportsball instead of otther sportdsball?? ????
>spords :))))

Are... are you upset that Japan doesn't like what you like?

>waahhh people talk about things they're interested in
>waahhh I don't get the appeal so it's all a big poopy dumb dumb le sportsball
Are you Dobson by any chance?

Because it would be a sin not to create things in their God's image

You think the Japs get into steroid problems as well for their baseball league?

whoa there pal, no need to blow things out of proportion

Are there like baseball anime or something because alot of baseball games developed I'm Japan have anime styles.

>Anime and Japanese videogames have it so everyone Japan must love it

This is the worst part about weebs. Thought I got a good gig at a university teaching Japanese. Grandparents only speak it so most of my family knows how. Suffered through a semester of teaching a bunch of dumb weebs that thought they were experts in speaking Japanese and Japanese culture. Fucking delusional. Two kids sang an anime opening for their weekly skit. At this point, I'm not sure if they are even trying to pronounce stuff correctly.


I'm teaching next semester too. Probably going to kill myself if another kid does a presentation on anime.

If he does, just fucking own their ass in front of the class

>are u sure about that

Yes. I am.

Sup Forums here
Only niggers don't like Baseball

prepare for sudoku

*blocks your path*

>one fucking video game IP
>"DUDE THIS PROVES ITS MORE POPULAR"
The fuck kind of evidence are you trying to use here?

It is, they just used a smaller bat so it was harder to hit the ball and it was a kids game

I'm probably just going to start with a ban on anime focused projects and skits at the start of the year. I'll let them do whatever they want for the last few or something. I hate these fucks, but I still like teaching and don't want their entire experience to be awful. Maybe I'll just hold movie nights for extra credit. As long as they write a summary or something. I let them watch Kimi no Na wa in class this semester and it went over pretty well.
Honestly, probably wouldn't be a bad way to go out if I could scar some kids for life along the way.

>reading comprehension
>jewropean education

blown the fuck out
baseball confirmed best sport

One of the reasons I welched and studied Chinese instead.

It gave me a foundation for kanji, at least, so it wasn't too much of a waste of my time as far as Japanese learning goes.

Dude. I'm so jealous of the Chinese T.As and professors. All of their students are learning to talk to family members or business students. People that are doing shit with their lives.


I just have a bunch of neets that are going to probably move back with their parents after graduating.

No. The rise in Sumo can probably be attributed to 稀勢の里. Sumo has been dominated by Mongolians for years. Now they have a Japanese champion again, so it's probably more interesting for them.

>it is
wrong.

I'm an ameriburger living in Osaka. Baseball is almost like a religion over here. My coworkers gather twice a month to play against other companies, and they play to win. And I'm a Texas boy, so I grew up deep in baseball culture.

The Japanese are far more into baseball than Americans.

Baseball is more popular in Japan than America desu I think its starting to die for whatever reason though

>And I'm a Texas boy, so I grew up deep in baseball culture.
The official religion of Texas is Football though

No one but spics and sissies give a fuck about soccer in America.

>Why not soccer where it's played world wide but America
fixed that for you OP

It's both, actually. There's a lot of pressure to play youth baseball once you reach that age.

I thought it was crazy how popular high school baseball is in Japan

Baseball is objectively the best sport, japs clearly have refined taste in this matter

>whatever reason
It's the most boring fucking sport on the planet, I cannot for the life of me comprehend why you would even watch it now without being absolutely sloshed on several liters of alcohol. The only reason why it's probably more popular in Japan is because being an alcoholic over there is somewhat socially acceptable, whereas in America it's slowly becoming more frowned upon because millennials would rather huff the devil's lettuce instead.

Because soccer is boring

This is a high school football stadium in America. Imagine where the taxpayer dollars could go instead

this

I just bought a PS4 and I already have 20 hours in RTTS. grindy, but addictive.
