Relatively little attention has been paid to the professional East Asian sports leagues
in the academic literature. In part, this is because professional sports leagues in East
Asia developed long after similar leagues in North America and Europe. Humphreys
and Watanabe (2012) noted that East Asian professional sports leagues follow a
“hybrid” model of organization where these leagues adopt the rules, regulations,
and structure used by prominent North American or European leagues playing the
same sport. For example, the Nippon Professional Baseball (NPB) league, the top
professional baseball league in Japan, employs a league structure similar to that
used by Major League Baseball (MLB) in North America. Likewise, many of the
football (soccer) leagues in East Asia adopted promotion and relegation ladders like
professional football leagues in Europe and South America
