Skechers wants to conquer every court

Hello there, folks! Welcome to Picklewho, the best Pickleball site you've ever visited if you’ve never visited the other two. I suggest you sit tight, put on your reading glasses and stop crying for a while, because we've got some freshly baked news for you:

• If you play pickleball, you wear Sketchers

• This new Pickleball pro league has an interesting feature

• Pickleball is too boring for TV, says no one!

Skechers wants to conquer every court

It was a bright, sunny, angelical evening in 2022 when Skechers signed its first two pro Pickleball players, Catherine Parenteau and Tyson McGuffin. One year later, the shoe brand signed a contract as the official footwear of the Caravan PPA Tour.

Some players say it’s because they love the shoes’ style, others say they are extremely comfortable, while others beg us to stop asking them silly questions while they train at home.

However, we believe other brands would be superb sponsors for this sport too, such as:

• St. James Portable Toilets: to prevent “incidents” in the courts’ surrounding’s

• McArthur, tailors and suits: Their products aren’t “practical” to play, but they do boost style and that’s almost as important.

• Durex: Because... why not?

A new Pickleball league will only include players over 50

I sent this right away to my ex just to prove “being young” is more of a spiritual decision.

Though the league is technically “national”, for the moment it will start with only 6 teams. Bob Strommen, founding member of Naples's team, expressed that this is a tribute not only to the seniors but also to the community. After all, who are the pillars of our community if not our grandpas?

According to USA Pickleball, one third of the players are over 50, or as I call it: “3-quarter life crisis”. A league with this feature makes complete sense.

Now, if you ask me, I want more leagues with close requirements. I propose: the Bald Men Pro Pickleball League (BMPPL);the Toddler Little League (TLL), with players under the age of 1; and of course, the Only Bald Toddler League (OBTL).

Pickleball looks dumb on TV, says psychopath

In a recent article by Benjamin Hart, a writer known for multiple pieces of interest such as:

……..?

He expressed that, despite its growing popularity, Pickleball will NEVER look good on TV.

For God’s sake, we are talking about pickleball, not me wearing a fedora.

Hart claimed that the game is slow and doesn’t sound “good enough" to be on the big sports channels. Hence, it will never surpass tennis, or as we like to call it: Pickleball's conservative father.

Rumor has it that Hart left his suggestions to improve Pickleball’s broadcasts out of the article, yet after some journalistic digging (or bribing) we were able to find them.

We have some suggestions on how to make Pickleball meet Hart's demands and look good on TV:

• Players can’t stand still for more than 3 seconds.

• Each game requires a live performance by two heavy metal bands.

• Each player requires a stunt double for dangerous scenes.

• After each point, three models in swimsuits must hand out shots of Tequila.

Thanks for the input, sir. We hope these suggestions enhance our beloved sport.
