[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw the email yesterday about PB becoming a varsity sport. I don’t understand why it can’t be a club or a rec sport at high school. My kids are working hard to make varsity in their respective sports. It feels like an insult when some kid can take up pickleball and put down they play on a varsity sport on their college  application. It’s not the same thing as years of intense playing, injuries and tryouts. What a joke.

All sports besides track (running) and throwing the javelin and swimming (survival skills - breaststroke, freestyle and backstroke) are pretty silly if you think about it.

Squash (thrashing a small black ball), badminton (hitting a dead bird), tennis (smashing a green bouncing ball with the oddest of scoring), volleyball (three goes to get a big ball over the net), soccer (why not use your hands?), football (take 70 players and throw 4 times), hockey (put knives on your feet and whack some black discs), rugby (football but use your hands), lacrosse (catch a ball in a net and run around), baseball (try and whack a ball and run around a square),  gymnastics (who needs double somersaults with twists in daily life?), cricket (so confusing), flag twirlers (is this a sport?), cheering (loud dance class), etc.

How is pickle ball any less worthy than these? [/quote]
