We do. We're bretty gud actually. It's just not nearly as popular as football.
>>
>>66487606
I think because they eat healthier and can't make the weight
>>
Europe likes to pretend to be cool or superior or some shit by hating anything american
It's kind of pathetic
>>
>>66487606
We don't feel the need to invent sports so that we can actually win them.

>>66487873
Maybe you should since you don't seem to be winning anything
>>
>world series
>actually north american series lmao
>>
>>66487866
Not really. I enjoy ice hockey although access is somewhat limited here. It's fun just throwing a baseball around with a few friends as well. I guess people here just prefer our alternatives. American sports were never pushed here like they're trying to do with soccer in the States.
>>
>>66487873
might be worth a try these days
>>
>>66487873
But your country is shit at all the sports it invented

Bats are illegal there

this is a sports board, no other culture matters, not that we don't have plenty anyway

Kek
"Sports culture" is not the kind of culture that the rest of the world claim you're lacking

>>66488051
We have a culture of being the greatest ever and having the rest of the world be utterly obsessed with us desu
>>
>>66487606
Not enough cubans and dominicans
>>
Because baseball can't end in a tie

It's a man's sport

>>66487944
euros lash out at things that they want and cant have, much like 4 year olds
>>
>>66487606
Because it's a boring af shit sport.
>>
>>66489367
This. I'd rather watch a game of curling.
>>
>>66487606
I believe it was relatively popular in Italy through the 80s.

Because we play the vastly superior and patrician cricket here lad.
>>
>>66489766
The only sport named after the reaction people give while watching the aforementioned sport.
>>
>>66487606
actually, there are many Little League teams playing in europe.

and some of the boys are quite cute.

>an ameribible defending the honour of boreball by calling cricket boring

wew lad
>>
>>66489766
>Typically, first-class cricket matches are played over three to five days with, at least, six hours of cricket being played each day. One-day cricket matches last for six hours or more.

Well it's a good thing everyone in the EU is unemployed so they have time watch cricket.
>>
>>66489790

The only EU country where cricket is played to any great level is the UK where the unemployment rate is 0.1% lower than the US.

Wew lad.
>>
>>66487715
I see Rounders is like Baseball: put the fatty in right field
>>
>>66489790

pulling a sickie to go to a summer test match and get slowly drunk in the sun whilst watching England smash some jfs is the goat english feel
>>
>>66487606
euros are a little to wussified for baseball
>>
>>66487888
explains why we're in the cricket world cup final as the favourites then doesn't it

Pesäpallo>>>>>
>>
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lapta_(game)
baseball was developed from lapta by 18th century Russian Americans
>>
>>66489940
This. Pesäpallo is the superior form of baseball.
>>
>>66487606
Because it's boring as fuck
>>
>>66487606
Honestly, me and a few lads tried it a few times when we were young and found it to be a massive disappointment.
There has to something very wrong with americans if they think a game like this can be fun.
Half the fucking team literally does nothing. It's only fun for the pitcher and the batter.
>>
It's just a meme version of cricket where everyone wears shiny tights and colourful hats
>>
>>66487866
But people here do play apehoop and hockey. It's just baseball and gridiron that have no following whatsoever.
>>
please watch our sport
>>
>>66487750
Can't really do that anymore since you can review if a player got hit
