Please, for the first time in the history of internet culture, have a mind of your own and find a better sport than gloried ping-pong.

Pickleball is the next in a long line of social media fads like those hair-bunned clowns who tried to make slacklining a thing. If you told 18-year-old Sean that the internet was going to lead to a phenomenon called influencers, he would’ve seriously considered doing away with readily accessible porn to save the future from that plight. I played that shit in high school gym class, and I’m twice as old as a high school senior. I’m 95 percent sure “Rape Me” — which is actually an anti-rape song told from a victim’s POV — would’ve gotten Cobain canceled in 2022, and 45 percent sure the tween sporting the In Utero shirt doesn’t know that song exists. If you have any trace of “PCU” in you, it’s time to dump a bunch of red meat on this vegan march. Kurt Cobain’s era-defining band became popular because it was part of a movement that was in direct contrast to heavy metal hair bands and ’80s glam epitomized by cocaine and Miami Vice.

Ultimately, Chiappone and other pickleball advocates are pushing for the construction of two pickleball-dedicated facilities that wouldn’t interfere with tennis whatsoever. Ricky Huynh, senior manager of marketing operations and communication at the United States Tennis Association’s PNW branch, notes the organization isn’t at odds with pickleball: “We are excited about the growth of tennis and believe both tennis and pickleball can exist and be successful. A parking area at Magnuson Park and Hiawatha and Genesee Playfields are a few of the early contenders for sites with at least eight lighted courts, Parks revealed during a public meeting in May. The city weighs a variety of factors—accessibility, noise, parking, proximity to community centers, and high school home courts—when evaluating the use of sites. Currently, the city creates two pickleball courts for every tennis court; Chiappone and others would like that number to grow by at least one per court, if not more. Beyond the long wait times for players of both sports, a portion of tennis enthusiasts say the new lines are distracting. Schulkin says the department will consider a six-to-two ratio in 2023 but has previously faced problems with maintaining a mandatory 12-foot “run-out zone” for tennis when adding the extra lines. In total, the city counts 89 pickleball playing areas, compared to 141 for tennis. At Green Lake, which Chiappone calls the “mecca” for the sport in Seattle, as many as 100 pickleball players on any given afternoon might cycle through eight playing areas—two taped on—at courts once reserved for tennis players, who now know better than to wait around for open slots. To date, Parks has tried to toe the line between both parties by painting pickleball stripes on tennis courts around the city—the quickest way to placate picklers without technically banishing tennis. (“Please let the quiet tennis players return!!!”) While the similarities between both sports mean many players dabble in both and get along well enough, “there’s definitely a turf war,” says Chiappone. But even more pickleball players (83 percent) were peeved about court time, leaving Seattle Parks and Recreation to wrestle with a thorny question: If everyone’s unhappy, whose concerns should take priority?
