Japan has one of the more popular gridiron football scenes outside of the US. They also have one of the biggest wrestling & motorsports scenes. That said, I wouldn’t be calling any sport really political on one side or the other but a general working-class pasttime.
To me, the least accurate part is picking baseball to represent the right. I would’ve gone with wrestling, NASCAR, or maybe even football.
(I know the Japanese play baseball themselves… maybe it has a right-wing connotation there that’s influencing the choice?)
Yeah that was a bit weird.
One of the first words Japanese language learning resources teach you is the word for baseball. It’s 野球 yakyuu (“field ball”) btw
