RE: Time for Baseball to Make a Radical Change: Blow Up the Ninth Inning and Let the Stars Shine
The high cost of American sports stands in stadiums, equipment and equipment, preventing them from spreading in countries with a medium and weak economic level.
As well as complex laws incomprehensible, the game of baseball is difficult to understand what it is and how to play on the non-American citizen, which was not to digest in turn if he had received the teachings over the years of his studies.
Historical Roots Baseball, American football and ice hockey are a part of the historical culture of the American people, like bullfights in Spain and cricket in Britain, so these sports have maintained their popularity there, unlike in other countries where sports have no historical roots .
Media and money: In addition to basketball, American sports and sports are unmatched by other rich American media, unlike most European countries and the world, where sports do not have much weight in comparison to football. Where there is media, there are funds and wealth and huge revenues, which contribute to support and promote those games to maintain their popularity and spread.
That's a very good analysis. But most of these games can be played in some form on the street or in any neighborhood pitch that's dirt or grass. Obviously, ice hockey is not one of them, but in northern countries, that began on frozen lakes and rivers.
