I am not joking when i say pickelball vs tennis has brought down 2 successive governments in my town, and has created racial tension between the elderly and the asians that got forced to play tennis. There is a pickelball related ballot question almost every election.

Its also torn households apart because the asians frequently have elderly living with them.

Pickle ballers are insane at any level.


Serious tennis players join a private club so they don't have to share a court with regular folk.

Advantage tennis.

You sound like a very reasonable and well-adjusted individual who would never stubbornly close their mind to new social and recreational opportunities.

The thought of angry tennis players is hilarious. Cake eating fancy lads and Nancy's steaming red in the face while wearing those stupid outfits.

(To)day you won a ticket to see Doctor J
Front row seat (in free!) no pay
Radio in hand, snacks by feet
Game's about to start, you kickin' popcorn to the beat
You finally wake up, Doc's gone to town
Round his back, through the hoop, then you scream "Touchdown!"
