![]() The game has changed their lives, cured depression, eliminated loneliness, and ha ha ha they laugh at injuries and do you want to join us? Come play! In the few minutes per day that they’re not actually playing pickleball the only thing they want to do is talk about playing pickleball. And if you’ve met one of these people, believe me, you know it. “It is for some people!” I shouted with too much enthusiasm. “So pickleball is death?” a friend asked when she heard my theory. To allow the game into their lives is to accept old age, and by extension, the grave. I’m no licensed clinical pickleball therapist (not yet an actual subspecialty), but even I can see that it is this association that threatens the haters. Pickleball has famously crossed over from retirees to celebrities and pro athletes, but even so, it can’t shake the shuffleboard vibe. ![]() When I taunted him recently by telling him I was tackling the subject again, his reply was instant: “DEAR GOD MAKE IT STOP.”īut what is he afraid of? I think I know now. He’s a generally cheerful guy, but is so hostile toward the game that he won’t write its name in emails or texts for fear of alerting an algorithm. “Just FYI,” his email read.Īnd when news broke that USA Pickleball was hiring a new CEO, I heard from a different top editor: “Might be worth keeping an eye on.”Īs for the “super meta” colleague.

I was also making my way across the sub to repair a hole in the wall, when a tentacle came spinning out of it and started lashing out at me…just what did we get ourselves into?
