Maybe it's for the best.
>>
>>77041119
He invented the game as a permanent resident and died as an American citizen. Calling him an actual canadian is pretty misleading.
>>
>>77041030
This is the only correct answer
>>
Wrestling, UFC
>>
>>77041147
Well he was born there and then moved here. Either way, Britain had nothing to do with basketball.
>>
Hockey
>>
>>77041088
Turring invented the first computer which then had SC
>>
>>77041008
oh gimme a break

so what makes something a major sport?
>>
>>77041257
Being invented by a Briton
>>
>>77041034
ancestry is a pretty weak requirement to say a country had something to do with inventing something
>>
Super cross
>>
>>77041257
Apehoop is not a sport. It's only relevant in the US and played mostly by blacks, which are 10% (or 20% by now) of the population.
>>
>>77041265

So the challenge is naming something invented by britain that britain didn't have a hand in inventing?

Football(American)
>>
>>77041491
You need to git gud.
Seriously tho, I think USA, Japan and Cuba could stand a chance if they participated.
Hitting the ball is way easier in pesäpallo but you also have the tactical aspect baseball doesn't have. You can't just hit the ball out of the park and jog your lazy fat ass across the court.

And? So I guess bifocals and the Benjamin stove were British inventions too?
