Baseball is boring, but it is still a lot more popular worldwide than plenty of other sports, like, I don't know, cycling?

Waghlon, you apparently aren't getting what I am saying, in terms of worldwide popularity, cycling is more popular
I miswrote on the first post, here is what I mean.
1) Worldwide popularity - In terms of how popular the sport is worldwide, by the measure of how many countries have a strong fan base for it, cycling wins, Spain, France, Italy, Britain, USA, etc., etc. That is much better than the Baseball fan base of the USA, Japan, and Mexico.
2) Individual popularity - In terms of how many individuals of fans of the sport, Baseball takes the cake there, by virtue of the the popularity of the sport in both America and Japan, along with their much greater size.

I have a puzzle for you then: If most of Europe, most of South America, bits of Africa, half of Australia, bits of China and India, a hint of Saudi Arabia and the U.A.E and some minor blobs in Asia likes soccer. And Japan, Mexico, Canada and USA likes baseball. What sport is more popular? And dont come back with a two-pronged answer.

So can I, if you're allowed to divide by 0, thank you, I know

the point is: math doesn't lie. But math just shows the results, it doesn't interpret them. What you all are doing are interpreting the results. And interpretations, well, you can interpret anything whichever way you want.

1) No, I learned it from my psychiatrist (explains a lot, doesn't it). And i'm not pretentious isso, look at a dictionary:
pretentious |priˈten ch əs|
adjective
attempting to impress by affecting greater importance, talent, culture, etc., than is actually possessed : a pretentious literary device.
How do you know that I'm faking, believe me, i'm not

That was sort of the way I was going, not exactly, but sort of. Just couldn't explain it well enough.
