Why don't blokes play Netball?

Post by Richard »

I brought a Netball Net for Vicky (my daughters) birthday this year as she play's in a League Team.

Now at Basketball I'm not bad at netting, mainly because of bouncing the ball off the back board, but with the open Netball Net I'm useless!

So, why do you think it's mainly women who play it?

Because netball is the girlie version of basketball.
Like most things nowadays it is OK for girls to do/use men things, basketball. football wear trousers, only wear swimming trunks on the beach but it is not as accepted for men to do girly things. Like wearing skirts, make up, high heels, play netball etc.

At the end of the school year the boys cricket team played the girls netball team at netball. Stupid game all stopping and starting. Then the boys football team played the girles at hockey. Those girls were sadistic.

The teaching staff decided that the girls couldn't play us at cricket or football, too dangerous. What? After hockey? :-D

because it is not as much fun as kicking a tin can (or tennis ball) around the school yard.
