Personally I didn't understand it to begin with. Just look at the recent olympics with Greece. They were basically begging people to play for the national team. Personally, I think you need games that have global appeal and is played at least somewhat globally. Other than North America, the Caribbean, the northern tips of South America, Japan, and Korea, where else is baseball really played at any decent level? Basically, you're looking at leaving out all of Europe, all of Africa, and almost all of Asia with baseball, plus most of the southern tip of South America.

Softball, is it really played anywhere outside of America? Honestly I don't follow it enough to know.
