>>149269231basketball is arguably more American than baseball and they eat that shit up, they like the NBA more than we do. Baseball is as much an East Asian sport or a Latin American sport as it is an American one now.
also, becoming proper rivals with USA should be a reason to play it more, obviously they can't compete in basketball but baseball might be possible.
and aren't they allied with Cuba or Venezuela or Nicaragua or something, commies all of them. those three love baseball.
