Reply to comment by no_apricots in Denmark wins third consecutive world championsship in handball by Kanstrup-

I live in NYC and it's actually very popular in the Bronx and Queens (maybe Brooklyn too, but I don't go to Brooklyn). They even have leagues and in the summer hold tournaments.

I've never seen any violence (like shoving or whatnot) and it's always such a chill and happy atmosphere. They set up scoring tables and sometimes record on cameras. They also play music.

The players range in size though; some are skinny and some are clearly dedicated to caring for their bodies. I think they also play co-ed but most times it's just men.

Oh! That's a big difference. It's like soccer (football) meets basketball! So cool. Thanks for the correction!
