Also why do white people keep inventing the same racket sports? Just so they can take over more parks? Because pickleball has different courts and equipment than tennis, which has different stuff than badminton, which has different stuff than pulsmudington lupenhoff or whatever the fuck dumb names they can come up with, which has dif…
I thought it was padel? Like a hundred of these popped up where I am from and all the petty bougies started doing this during covid. It’s sort if like squash, but in an aquarium of sorts I think. It’s the sweaty bougie display.
lmao whatever happened to wallball when we were kids? Just a red rubber ball you’d throw at the wall and try and hit it back without it touching the ground more than once. We had all kinds of special combo moves that, in hindsight, I realize people were making it up to break rules. Like there was a “run up the wall” where they’d make the ball roll up then come back down that was hard to hit. Or “the granny” where you’d do these tiny dribbles and just kind of tap the wall with the ball.
But no. Gotta have our special rackets and special shoes and special courts and special building enclosures and special nets.
Oh yes we did this too. It’s so much fun. There was a version where you threw the ball to the wall and called out someones name who had to catch it while others run away. Then the person with the ball had to try and catch the others by throwing the ball at them, if they got you, you would burn out from the game.
It was due to petty bougie covid boredom here for sure, they had to find a way to go spread that shit in close proximity to others.
I’ll have to go do a bike tour of all the big padel halls that opened here because of it and see how many are now closed. Nobody even mentions padel anymore.
Squash? I’m pretty sure they all play pickleball now.
What the fuck is pickleball

at least pickleball takes up far less space than a tennis court. Uses the same court size as badminton apparently.
Tennis with a wiffle ball
It is tennis for people who don’t want to break a sweat. Pingpong for people who lack hand/eye coordination.

only played this regularly at one of the schools I went to but yeah it ruled. great low-cost social game.
Same in Arg, but I just thought it was because of nineties revival
Lol sounds plausible.
