[WhatInThe]

Convicted murderer Scott Peterson got roughed up in a Pickle Ball game in a California prison. Apparently the ball was purposely aimed at him by his opponent.

Scott Peterson reportedly injured in pickleball prison fight

I thought pickle ball was the new badminton or tennis for the lazy or impaired. In other words care free.

Will say stunned by it's popularity.

I remember this story so clearly. No comment on his getting roughed up... thought it would happen long ago actually. Wonder if Chris Watts plays Pickleball?

I've heard it described as tennis for the lazy. It's a fad or trend that won't go away.

A new pickle ball indoor facility opened around hear up over the last year and it gets busier every month. I'm stunned. The lot is still packed around 9 at night.

Maybe the prison felt this would be a safer game for the inmates.

It was a favorite game of Matthew Perry which he'd been playing the day he died in his bath tub??

It is pretty fun…well I have only played once. But hey…anyone who can kill their pregnant wife should get whatever can be dished out.

Seriously, here in Central Florida, you don't wanna mess with these old folks & their pickle ball. It's a blood sport.

It started out as a rather tame sport for older folks which was something like tennis, but escalated into a game I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole. As soon as the present day generations got into it, RUINED!!!

but isn't it a copycat of beachball?
