Hey, come on, it was a really stupid thing, a future president voting AGAINST letting Nintendo buy a baseball team? Yamauchi wanted to buy the Seattle Mariners so he could keep them in Seattle. They were gonna get bought out and forced to move across the country, and Yamauchi and Nintendo wanted to give something back to the local community, so they wanted to pitch in and let the city keep their own baseball team. A future president voted AGAINST that, because he's Japanese. It was part of the whole anti-Japanese racism from the 80's when everybody was afraid of Japan taking over everything, since Mario became more famous than Mickey Mouse and Sony just bought Columbia Pictures, etc etc etc. And it was total racist bullshit. |
I have no idea the situation, but I was just making a statement.
