And Here We Have The Most Diabolical Way On God's Green Earth To End A Pickleball Match
Oh what's that? You thought pickleball was just some joke game for old people? You thought it was some sort of social event for folks who aren't athletic enough to play tennis? That it's just a bunch of geezers lightly smacking a wiffle ball around with oversized ping-pong paddles?
Think again, bozo.
This right here is what pickleball is all about. It's greasy, it's nasty, it's diabolical. Ending a gold medal match with a Nasty Nelson isn't just about winning a match, but it's about sending a message to your opponents that there was never a doubt about how much you own them.
A Nasty Nelson is a perfectly legal move when instead of serving to the opponent who is diagonally across from you like normal, you intentionally try to hit the opponent in front of you to win the point. Usually it's a move you only break out against your friends. Usually it's a move you go with when you're losing big and just need to try anything to switch it up. Almost never is it a move you go with to win a match, because there's typically a sense of decorum. But not with this woman. She had a gold medal to win, and she didn't give a shit how she got the job done. You play to win the game, regardless how many headshots you need to take along the way.
Pickleball is just violent tennis. Don't like it? Get back to your country club and stay out of the kitchen.
