Tempting thought, considering how baseball is possibly the worst team sport (maybe except polo), but not standing. Total EU bootlicker shitholes with otherwise largely americanised cultures still don't have almost any baseball*, but Cuba have a lot of it (like wtf Cuba, i guess it is the reminder that no one can be based 100% of time).
*There was a moment of seeming hope for baseball in Poland, while in 90's tons of football hooligans started to buy baseball accessories. Turned out they just wanted baseball bats. It would be funny to imagine their trainings though, since for each ball and glove sport shops were selling few hundred bats.
Yep. Cuba disproves this theory.
Venezuela and Nicaragua as well
It is remnant of colonialism though and still a negative culture influence since baseball fans inevitably will look up to its country of origin and all the flashy multibillion business baseball is.
Not really since these baseball players dream of going to the US, baseball is like the strongest soft power the US has on Cuba.
Would you really call Cuba "subservient" just because some cubans dream of going to the us?
Canada is like 100x more subservient than Cuba and baseball is not even a top 3 sport there.
Finding a baseball game would be harder than finding gold in Australia and we are so dominated I don't even consider Australia as its own country.
Sorry the linkage just ist there.
