Fan finds American Ninja Warrior unfair
Mar 15, 2012 in Opinions |A fan, from the good old United States, wrote in with a piece of commentary that is hard to ignore. Check it out!
I enjoy watching Ninja Warrior for years, I evern remeber the Viking Challenge. As a long time viewer, I was delighted when American Ninja Warrior arrived.
What I feel extremely unfair is that competitors on American Ninja Warriors can compete on both, Ninja Warrior and American Ninja Warrior thus giving double the chances that everyone else gets. I am an Amereican myself and I would love to see an American achieve total victory but I also like to see it done in a manner that is fair.
Since the eligibility qualification for American Ninja Warrior is an American citizen or resident and is not open internationally and Ninja Warrior is open internationally, this gives the Americans double the opportunity to achieve total victory.
I still would like to see the Ninja Warrior competition stay open internationally and I wouldn’t even mind if was still open to Americans but anyone who has competed on American Ninja Warrior should not be eligible for Ninja Warrior.
Thank you.
Ninja Warrior Fan
Thank you for writing tom042559! Your thoughts are very appreciated.
Let’s see what others have to say regarding your point of view.
i totally agree, i myself am an American, but it is funny how much americans suck compared to the true ninja warriors.
In America, it’s not fair to women, either because Americans can’t tolerate strong women as much as Japanese can. The Japanese version has both editions for men and women.
What I find unfair about the whole event is that the final obstacle–Mount Madoriama in Vegas–is different…and much more difficult than the one in Japan…that 3 Japanese men conquered. Either keep it the same…or stop saying no American has conquered it. Because frankly…no one from any country has conquered this particular Mount Madoriama…including the 3 Japanese men who conquered an easier version in Japan. Bottom line…you can’t keep changing it…it needs to stay consistant. I think you should build an exact replica of the one in Japan that the 3 men conquered there. Because that tells me it’s possible. Extremely difficult…but possible. This one in Vegas is impossible. I don’t see anyone conquering it. Go ahead…invite the 3 Japanese men over to give it a try…guaranteed they’ll fail. So frankly…I’m losing interest. Also, you’re making tons of money from this…and you don’t give the contestants any money? They should be getting money based on how many obtacle courses they make it through…not this all or nothing crap for only one of them…which ends up being nothing for all of them. They dedicate a lot of their time and health to do this…so give them something for the trouble (i/e they get certain amount of money for placing 1 – 50…or something like that). And throw in some bonuses for various things…like the UFC does. So do these things (i/e make an exact replica of the Japan version…that’s extremely difficult but at least possible to finish…and give guaranteed money to many top finishers) and this thing will grow even more…like the UFC. If you don’t…I see it fizzling out like American Gladiators.
I agree with Ninja Warrior Fan it’s really unfair not to include international competitors. I will always prefer the original Ninja Warrior to the American Version.
What happened to the Japanese Ninja competitions. Were they suspended after the
earthquake and tsunami? All I see now is the American competition. I would rather
see the one from Japan. If it is still being held, why is it not being shown? I would like to know what happened if anyone has the answer.
