The New York Post published an article about how Pickleball is becoming a menace to society 👀➡️ The article leads with a handful of stories where pickleball players are at odds with either tennis players or the cities they live in. One thing in common with all these stories is that people just want space to play.“What was missing from the report, though - is any mention of the attacks on pickleball itself. A couple weeks back, news broke that arsonists had attacked the Pickleball court sheds in Santa Monica, California. The motivation for the fire is still unknown but the evidence of batteries wrapped in copper wire led us to believe this was far from an accident”, reported The Dink Pickleball.“Personally, we think the only thing more grating is the sound of these tired and sensationalist articles”, stated the Pickleball media. “There’s plenty of room for pickleballers, tennis players, and local communities to live in harmony — we just have to build it!”.#Pickleball #News
