You're problem is not with the
"actual characters", but with the
Fujoshis
Here's what you're missing
"ANYTHING that have more than 1 male characters will also appeals to Fujoshis".
Your so called holy sport Anime "Slam Dunk" Also has many Yaoi Doujinshis. Fujoshi's can make any male characters into a fag. It doesn't matter if the authors deliberately made them as Fujoshi baits or not. It doesn't matter if it's shounen or seinen, it doesn't matter if it's shoujo or josei. If that title has more than one male character, Fujoshis will still be there
Fujoshi's are a "niche" market group for most sport titles, most authors don't intend to "bait them", but Like I said,
ANYTHING with more than 1 male character will also appeal to the fujoshis.
ex:
was
Tiger and Bunny intended to be a story for Fujoshis?
was
Ookiku Furikabutte intended to be a story for Fujoshis?
was
Prince of Tennis intended to be a story for Fujoshis?
was
Sengoku Basara intended to be a story for fujoshis?
Answer is NO, they were made with the shonen demographic in mind.
Most of the demographic that watch/read shonen sport animes are there for actions. They don't watch sport animes expecting cute girls unless it was made like that ex: Rokyubu, Softenni.
Most Shonen readers are 10-15 year old boys. So, of course authors of sports titles will make characters that is easy for them to aspire to be, which is good looking and good at sports characters. Kids likes characters that are cool looking and. Guess what fujoshi also like to see "Cool looking male characters".
TL;DR, You're barking the wrong tree.
Oh, i think i get the "inb4 kaimax" comment now.
Although i can't deny you have a point there, despite them not being intended for fujoshi, they just pop up out of nowhere.
