Pretty sure they have softball stadiums because of successful pro league

However if anyone stayed up and watched (I did because I’m on vacation) Beth Mowins and Michelle Smith were saying it was because of the joint bid with baseball/softball to save on cost and they would use the same facilities.

I don’t like it either, but if in the Olympics I’ll take it.

The problem is that Europe is very influential with the Olympics and they are not good in baseball/softball so therefore no one wants to play it. Notice who the countries are playing softball this go around. And softball is already out of Paris in 2024, just frustrating.
