Actually I find it very funny that in this age of widespread globalization, we still got regionalized booms, padel in Europe vs pickleball in the USA. I guess globalization still has limits to this day.

RIP Ronnie.

Your Ride is over.

Tragic. Whole life ahead of him

I've played padel a few times in the rain. It's a completely different experience. Do you play often in the rain?

Yeah no shit

That doesn't make any sense. Why would teams only get a piece of domestic viewership and not international?

If this is the case, Iceland's mens team would gave gotten basically nothing for its run in 2018 because of how small their country is despite that hundreds of millions watched them world wide

Bexause international viewership does not correlate to income for US Soccer as international broadcast rights are held and sold by other entities, whereas domestic viewership does. Low viewership of the Women's World Cup in Ecuador does not materially impact revenue for US Soccer.

Why would they only care about US viewership? Money is money.

>Worldwide the mens final destroyed the womens.

Worldwide viewership would not determine the pay rate for either national team, as it's not the metric of interest to US Soccer.

We have one place relatively nearby in Belgium to play indoors and with a yearly membership of 30 euro you get reduced renting fees and you pay 24 euro/1,5h for a court (and if you but credits for enough money you get an additional discount)

The article you posted says that the women's final (which included the US) barely beat out the mens final (which didn't include the US), in the US.

Worldwide the mens final destroyed the womens.

And Belgium… and we’re wishing we had halls because we’re playing outside in rain and freezing conditions

Have they started reducing prices yet? Atleast in Finland its mostly on the boom phase still, and the courts are really expensive. Around 36€/h is the norm here.

Fine, but men should get the same pay as women on onlyfans

No, more like Paddle Tennis

No, a little different but similar in terms of being more social and easier to get into. I think the biggest drawback for scaling is the need for walls - something pickle ball doesn’t have.

Empty?

The USWNT routinely outdraws (by a small margin) the USMNT.

Jesus... just a day after Franco Harris too. 31 ain't no age to die.

Is it the same as pickle ball?
