Handball

Should be a bigger sport in North America

It's kinda like soccer but you can use your hands...which is my biggest complaint with soccer.

It's like hockey but it isn't so damn cold...which is my biggest complaint with hockey

It's like basketball but the rim is a lot lower and bigger...which is my biggest complaint with basketball

When I think "handball", I think of that schoolyard game where you throw a ball against a wall...there's another kind? lol

I only watch handball when there's a men's championship on. The World Championship starts in a week I think so I'm looking forward to that. Norway's female team isn't fun to watch longer imo because no other team is close to competing with them.

Someone can't get the ball up to the rim? Haha.

I played handball in pe in high school & enjoyed it

I've only seen part of a game once, and it looked really neat...then again, I'm a sucker for anything new and different, really.

Fun to play, but I think it would be pretty dull to watch.

I played it in physical education in high school

It wasn't really fun.

I used to play Suicide (which is like a variant of Handball, look it up) with my friend every once in a while, it was fun.

And playing a game called Suicide didnt make you want to kill yourself?

is this the sport where you jog around and throw it into a HUGE net with a goalie? It does not look like it takes that much skill or athleticsm to be honest. but I haven't watched much.

It does to play goal. :D Actually, goalie's a lot of fun in handball...and this is coming from someone who typically HATES playing net.

I think that's wallball. Which was an awesome game in elementary school. It'd probably still be awesome now.

There's also handball which is racketball sans a racket

Then there's Wallyball, which is just volleyball in a racquetball court. Fun to play (though maybe not if you bruise easily, since it tends to involve a fair amount of hurling oneself in to the court walls).
