[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball Baseball] is like a complicated version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounders Rounders]. It involves hitting a ball with a stick, then running around a field. Big in the US, and like many things the Japanese took it up eagerly to avoid being nuked for a third time. | |||

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basketball Basketball] is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netball Netball] for men, the ''real'' game that encourages dribbling and other such uncouth behaviour that was sanitised out of the ladies' version. However, it is itself woosy compared to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulama_game Ulama], as the losing side are seldom publicly sacrificed. | |||

::''Examples: {{a|1457|Ashita no Joe}}, {{a|129|Hajime no Ippo}}'' | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing Boxing] involves puching someone until their brains fall out, then challenging them to a rematch. Many boxers survive successfully for years with no central nervous system at all, to the bafflement of medical science. | ||

Being thrown flat on your back and forced to sumbit by girl who's shorter and younger that you is certainly a humbling experience. | ||

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnastics Gymnastics] used to just be thought of as an excuse for ogling women in skimpy costumes. However, the march of progress has lead to a great reduction in the mammaries that made this an interesting prospect, leading to a disallutionment with the sport. | |||

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis Tennis] is yet another sport involving hitting a ball. Were it not for the copious amounts of grass involved in certain varieties, it seems hard to imagine that people would pay it any attention at all. | |||
