This Washington Post sportswriter either had the same thought I did or they read my post and thought "huh, she has a point"

"Olympians play "team" handball on a basketball court (but longer) with a volleyball (but smaller) and hockey nets (but taller). It's like lacrosse (without sticks) or water-polo (without water)."

I agree. I have a Danish friend and she said it was a popular high school sport for girls when she was young.

Why hasn't handball taken off in the US? Seems like a sport that could do well over here.
