Don't Bring Dirty Matters Like in Politics into Sports!! --from Japan

Hi everyone in the world!! How's it going? Today is the first day of June, and my birthday is coming. Yep, I have to work hard to make this month wonderful to celebrate myself! haha.. Aside from it, I hope that everyone can have a meaningful time in this month, too. Yes, we human beings should be a creature of growth!

Excuse me, it was a bit gibberish. All right, It's 10:14 pm here in Japan. Here is my today's column:

A baseball team, SeibuLions in Japan has shake a Japan baseball with the matter of slush fund.

It was found recently that the SeibuLions donated cash to amateur players or people related to them. Around 170 people related to the players were given from 300,000 yen to 10,000,000 per person as a gratuity. It is surely prohibited in the rule of Japan baseball.

A scout in Seibu said, "Other teams will be doing the same. We could not be behind."

The popularity of Japan baseball is declining. The reason may be largely because big players such as Ichiro or Matsui went to Major League in America, but this sort of dark air is critical to show the corruptive inside situation.

Corruption in politics is serious and never shows any sign to decelerate the dirtiness in Japan. However, it will be quite sad if the sports industry is also corrupted like the politics.

Those workers who have to back up the baseball industry and baseball players should not rob the sanctity of sports, baseball though we are quite welcome to see Ichiro's steal.

Thank you for visiting <(_ _)> and Have a wonderful day!!
