Get a load of this guy:
Steve Kuhn, the billionaire founder of @MajorLeaguePB, said on today's @Sporticast with @soshnick and @novy_williams that he believes pickleball will "easily" be a top five sport in terms of viewership within the next five years.
He says it will challenge @MLS, @MLB and @NHL. pic.twitter.com/OaKfkMNAqC

Enough with this already. Pickleball is for 70 year olds who live at The Villages in Florida.
Watching Major League Pickleball is like watching four less-athletic Patrick Rafters stand at the net and play glorified ping pong.
Here’s a list of things that will happen before MLP challenges the NHL, MLB, or MLS:
- we land astronauts on the surface of Pluto
- 94 WIP talks Flyers
- NBC stops showing cheesesteak shots on Sunday Night Football when the Eagles are playing
- pigs fly
- hell freezes over
- Philadelphia elects a Republican mayor
- Turkmenistan has a free and open election
- Ben Simmons gets another triple double
- PennDOT actually finishes a project
- SEPTA updates their trains
It’s just not happening.
