Any body see watch this new sport? It is crazy, it is basketball with trampolines and it is FULL contact. It is awsome! Check it out.
 | View Full Version : SlamBall!!! Rotifer 08-23-2002, 05:22 PM I read a discussion (http://www.metafilter.com/comments.mefi/19101) about this a while ago in Metafilter - weird sport. I've never seen it on t.v. but did, out of curiosity, check out the website (http://slamball.warnerbros.com/). The Prohacker 08-23-2002, 05:33 PM It actually looks fun... creid 08-23-2002, 05:35 PM Very cool sport but its going to the grave just like The XFL did.... -Chris ned patter 08-23-2002, 05:35 PM Look lads choose fighting or tramplines or basketball, you can't do all 3 at one time. I'm feeling very critical tonight. Rotifer 08-23-2002, 05:37 PM Plus - it's tough to sell a sport that none of the viewers will ever have a chance to play. gt3n 08-23-2002, 05:44 PM Its a cool show, but I'd like to see them fly higher. Hostkookster 08-23-2002, 06:19 PM That sport is sweet! Watch it all the time. derek.bodner 08-24-2002, 11:02 AM I'm torn on SlamBall. Generally, I'm a sports purist. I hated the XFL and Arena League because they aren't true football. Generally, I'd feel the same about this. It isn't basketball and shouldn't be passed off to basketball fans. But Pat Croce (I'm a diehard sixers fan) had a big hand in getting this under way, and I just can't root against anything Pat does, so I hope it succeeds. Alex[nl] 08-24-2002, 11:51 AM When I visited the US a few weeks ago it was on tv all the time, it looks like fun to do. They even had someone from teh Conan O'brian staff do it .. he sucked at it, seems harder then you would think :) ned patter 08-24-2002, 11:53 AM I have never saw this before. I'll watch out for it on Eurosport but new sports do have to be of some high quality to be shown on that channel:) . combs 08-24-2002, 12:18 PM Not an interesting sport |
