What is it?
Pickleball is basically badminton played with ping pong paddles. It was named after a dog named Pickle. It's actually pretty fun.
All I know is doe not involve pickles.
Further down it was explained, like badmitton or tennis but lazier I guess.
It's not a particularly dangerous sport either, don't know how this asshole killed himself doing it, must have been an act of god.
I was just making a shitty joke. Sorry.
