    We’ve installed 4 pickleball courts in backyards in the past couple of years. One of them is the cover picture on a news article about how obnoxiously loud it gets in neighborhoods.

    Fuck pickleball. Shits a cult.

    I wonder what kind of growth regular football is at? Funny that it’s the most popular sport in the US by far but I know very few kids that play it. Flag football coming in at 25 is also surprising based on how much that’s being pushed in the last 5 years.

      I was wondering the same, id like to see Football shrinking if anything. Maybe even enough so that many schools stop funding it so damn much over other things like arts and sciences

    It’s being pushed by investors most likely.

    Talked to a couple, year or two ago, who were really into it and they were like “even the so and so NBA star has invested in it” i was half listening as it all sounded like garbage, but I think the guy said it was LeBron? Not 100% sure. So definitely sounds like a marketing ploy to milk this garbage.
