Womens sport sort of like basketball but no dribbling and no backboard on the basket. baskets are made uncontested. like the race walking of basketball
Netball is a ball sport played on a court by two teams of seven players. It is among a rare number of sports which have been created exclusively for female competitors. The sport is played on indoor and outdoor netball courts...
Let's face it, basketball is boring AF. Only Americans and a few weird Europeans get excited by it.
And they have that silly backboard that helps players to score when they've missed.
Yes! Thank you for saying this. I live in VERY basketball-centric state, and it just baffles me how people get so into it. Dribbling is stupid, and the uniforms (tank tops and clown shoes) are the lamest in sports.

It's a colonial game that is only played by women and is barely played in Canada. I don't know if the game was originated as less "violent" version of basketball or was it a separate game that evolved.
Yea, that’s not true. Both invented in the late 1800s, but basketball did come first. Netball, in fact, is a British misinterpretation of James Naismith’s original rules of basketball.

Years ago, I made a thread asking the English and their former commonwealth slaves to splain me cricket. So now I can watch a cricket match and fully understand what's going on.
But I still NEVER DO. It is the most dull AF sport in existence. Americans go to baseball to sit drunk for 3 hours doing nothing, imagine doing that all day 5 days in a row, that's a test. A test of your patience.
Sorry England and England type places but WTF, even if Australia didn't always win.
