They need to call it something cooler I d be embarrassed to tell people I played something called pickleball - Tennis fans express dislike for the racquet sport that s gaining in popularity in America

A number of tennis courts are being used for pickleball In the last few years, pickleball has in the United States and is continuing to reach more and more people. The craze for the sport is such that in 2021, a professional league called Major League Pickleball was created. Although the sport has recently started gaining traction, it was invented long ago in 1965 in Washington by the former Lieutenant Governor of the state, Joel Pritchard, and his friends Barney McCallum and Bill Bell. On March 28, 2022, Washington declared the racquet sport its official state sport. A couple of between the two sports are the varying length of the courts. While the tennis court is approximately 23.77 meters long, that of the newer sport is 13.4 meters. The balls used are hard polymer balls that have a much lower bounce than tennis balls. Tennis fans do not seem pleased with the new sport at all, finding themselves compelled to make fun of the name and suggesting that it is for lazy people who cannot work hard enough on a tennis court. "They don't need to be on a tennis court. They could play in a backyard, a driveway, etc. They don't even need a tennis net (could tie a rope). They want to have the prestige of a tennis court, so it elevates pickle ball's stature," a fan tweeted. They don't need to be on a tennis court.
