[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/Baseball Baseball] is like a complicated version of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rounders Rounders].

[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. | [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.

=== | ===Boxing=== | ||
[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. | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxing Boxing] involves puching someone until their brains fall out, then challenging them to a rematch.

=== | ===Judo=== | ||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judo Judo] is a frightening sport, in that it's not always the biggest strongest person that wins. 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/Judo Judo] is a frightening sport, in that it's not always the biggest strongest person that wins.

===[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_racing Driving] | ===Driving=== | ||
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto_racing Driving] involves driving in a competitive manner. Note that just driving to get groceries does not suffice, unless one does it like Takumi Fujiwara in {{a|135|Initial D}}. | |||

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_%28soccer%29 Football] involves kicking a ball in order to score a goal, while the other team tries to stop you by kicking the ball in the other direction to score a goal of their own. Note that this is not American Football. | |||

[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/Gymnastics Gymnastics] used to just be thought of as an excuse for ogling women in skimpy costumes.

=== | ===Tennis=== | ||
[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. | [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis Tennis] is yet another sport involving hitting a ball.

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volleyball Volleyball] is a game best played on sand and half naked.
