We are far from the only country that plays baseball, basketball and hockey


Does anyone besides a few carribean countries and Japan care about baseball? We've had a huge head start with basketball (and it helps having a plethora of huge, athletic black guys). There's only a handful of countries that have decent hockey teams, and we're usually only top 3 at best (depends on how good Sweden currently is).

Venezuela is the only country in South America that cares about baseball. Coincidentally, they're probably the worst team on the continent in Soccer. If you look around the world, the countries that don't have soccer as the #1 sport, with very few exceptions, are bad at soccer.

USA, India/Middle east, China, Australia, Russia (probably close with hockey). We're talking some huge population centers, but soccer isn't the biggest game in town
