That wasn't a meme this whole time? WTF

>>71246294
It's not even popular here, and we invented it.

>>71246826
Quite sure the MLB has the best-paid """"""""""athletes"""""""""". By an order of magnitude.

>>71246807
Soccer or one of the millions of non-sport related programs. Seriously, why the fuck would you want to watch sports all the time?

>>71246807
>what is hockey

retarded yank

Baseball is a 19th century sport too slow for today's world.

>>71246807
Heard of ice hockey?

>>71246807
Rugby is pretty popular too and Calcio Fiorentino is the best sport ever invented.

>>71246966
Cricket goes on for five days and is one of the most watched sports in the world.

European cunts too small to support four major sports so all they have is soccer.

>>71246807
Golf is actually one of the most watched spectator sports in Denmark.
Handball is also popular, as is tennis.
Of course football holds the number 1 spot, though.

>'murritards unironically call this FOOTball

I fucking love how the gangsters still have baseball bats

>>71247030
People who watch cricket:
India
Pakistan
Bangladesh
Sri Lanka
Zimbabwe

Literally a 3rd world sport.

Gridiron football originated on college campuses in the US; these conditions didn't really exist in Yurop because the idea of working class people attending college wasn't something you saw there, only the aristocracy received higher education and they preferred to engage in "gentleman's" sports like fox hunting or horse racing.

>>71246966
you're right, everyone in the modern age is depressed and has ADHD

>>71246807
Fighting sports are more entertaining. Try watching hockey or MMA.

As for soccer, that was the working man's sport in Europe, since it was very cheap and required a minimum of equipment. For Americans, it was mostly baseball, which requires more equipment than soccer, but Americans since the 19th century have typically had more disposable income than Europeans.

Nice stadium
Does the roof open? And is it artificial turf or grass?

>>71249826
It's not removable. It's fixed type with artificial grass. It's quite humble compared to Japanese dome stadiums and even frustrating considering hundreds million dollar was poured into building that ugly stadium.

baseball?

Baseball is good business. Because it's possible to have games on 6 days in a week.
That is one of reasons that mass media and companies like to support baseball in Japan.

>>71256470
It actually is pretty popular across Finland. Moreso than say football. The fact that you won't find any in Helsinki doesn't tell the truth.

i have to give them that in that one little town pesäpallo is really popular. they had over 3000 people in the crowd in the finals with their 3000 ppl population plus something like 2000 ppl in the countryside

>>71246294
The same reason cricket isn't popular in Europe outside of the UK: it's far too intellectual for non-anglo countries.

>>71256855
Yep, cricket is best left to the smart countries like India.

>>71256855

I tried to watch cricket, but all the games are on at like 1:30 in the morning here

>>71256489
Pesäpallo is only popular in small """"towns"""" where they have nothing else than their team

I like Baseball

I like the Baltimore Orioles

It's actually quite an underrated sport because most people here don't understand it

Baseball can be boring at times, but basketball is similar in speed to hockey and European football. You also need less room to practice.

>>71258777
Almost every college in the US has a women's volleyball team. It's very popular in California and Florida where beaches aren't shit too.
