It seems like Pickleball is making the Boomers and too violent, we might have to ban it and have an under-50's age limit with AI facial verification system.

  • What is a PDF?
  • Do kids have it too easy these days?
  • When you were a kid, did you buy candy for a threepence?

See what happens when the country club lets the kind of people that play pickleball replace the kind of people that play tennis? /s
