Is Pickle Ball the next biggest sports franchise?

[SadBunny]

Pickle ball is now the fastest-growing sport in the nation for the fifth consecutive year in a row, with 48.3 million U.S. adults

It's never going to be a big spectator sport.

I thought it was just a sport older people played but lots of young college kids around here love playing it.

They just converted a big convention center right on the water into a pickleball palace and now the community is up in arms because we've lost our traditional space for a lot of annual events and celebrations and touring shows for kids like that dinosaur thing
Thanks a lot, pickleball, whatever you are!

Would not disrespect a glorious Pickleball Paddle like that good sir.

Its the slap fighting of racquet sports. Also its inherently divisive because it requires repurposing tennis courts and other public spaces. Golf kinda is the same way but its been around centuries so no one gives a shit because golf people already have their spaces and don't need to make new ones.

Pretty pathetic you wouldn’t use a pickleball paddle for pickles. Makes the game even worse than it is

Disclaimer: There are actually no pickles involved in Pickleball.

Another example why the game is stupid. Might as well call it hamburgerball and it would make just as much sense

Watch these Pickleball Highlights and you wont be saying that again.

Has anyone invented disc bowling?

 

[SaiWa]

Anybody who has played tennis competitively can easily transitioned to this sport.
We literally used to warm up by playing a variation of this (we called it mini-tennis).

Pathetic

Not surprised since it’s mostly unatheltic people or geriatrics playing
