I never understood pickleball. I’ve talked to some people about it and while I do see the appeal, it just sounds like tennis without the learning curve

It's just wiffle ball tennis. It's easy, enjoyable to play casually with friends, and doesn't require basically any skill compared to tennis. People hating on pickle ball are really just hating on the fad and terrible player base it's built up recently. The people taking it far too seriously and elbowing children and park goers out of their spaces need to get bent, as do the developers and city officials turning long-used spaces into new courts, but I would be lying if I said I didn't still enjoy playing pickle ball.

You’re absolutely right. This game is a lot more fun than people will give credit for because of others who are behaving badly.
