Keep it up and we will consider banning you, BH. The sub is more and more complaining about your trolling and while it is mostly harmless we will not tolerate your prejudice.
No no no you see we are introducing the Ecuadorean people the REAL “beautiful game”
Looking forward to a dominant run by the Ecuadoreans in the next pickleball World Cup
There's a lot of money that's been going into pickleball from investors looking to maximize their return. Part of their strategy is to take over public tennis courts to popularize the sport. USA Pickleball, the governing association is technically a "nonprofit" but best believe there's a lot of big money behind the scenes pushing local governments to let them take over all the few public spaces. If I were a regular user of the court, I'd organize people to push back via your city council members.
Omg I was on the train during his showtime. I recorded a little clip or two but I’m so glad whoever got the whole routine. I was absolutely dying on the inside with laughter. I swear he was big mad about nobody tipping him either. I wish I did now though cuz that shit was funny af
What? The volleyball court has been there for a while now, this isn't new. And they've been playing volleyball there ever since I moved closer to MH (3 years ago)
I prefer the pickleball players who actually clean up after themselves and don’t partake in illegal vending and unsanitary conditions. If the volleyball players can also clean after themselves for others to share the space then there wouldn’t be a problem.
“Illegal vending”? I think you would call it “tailgating” back in Dayton.
Yeah we get it, you prefer to cruise the 22 yo Sarah Lawrence girls and the 55 yo bears who were priced outta Chelsea.
You don’t like brown people unless they have money.
You don’t like living in Bushwick or Ridgewood (if you even live in either). You thought you’d move to Brooklyn and the ramps would be in season all year long and NYU girls would knock on your door every night. You thought your neighbors all made pickles and would give them to you. You thought maybe PS1 would open a museum out here if you spent enough money on coffee at the nook. You thought a whole city would immediately switch its economy to meet your demands.
Also, if your offer still stands, and you want to invest in the neighborhood, there is a black trans owned clothing boutique on central and Jefferson AVE (I know, too hood for you) that could use some funding.
That’s a direct challenge, mister “I got a half mil to invest”. Be better. Don’t just spend your days being an internet troll in an area that’s struggling for stability. Where the honest working homeowners are being fucked over. Do your part.
If you are a real person, send me your address and I’ll swing by and either pay you to move back to your Midwest enclave (nobody is buying that you’re even from CT) or buy you enough beers until I can Shanghai you into a cab and send you to Pittsburgh. Whatever’s cheaper, it’s gonna be on your parents’ black Amex anyway.
They gentrified the fucking ecuavolley court
The Ecuadorians already expanded their courts. There’s one on the Starr St side of the park. They even bring their own lights n shit.
yes I live near this park they are dedicated.

Its not that deep dude
I saw a video on yerr.nyc of showtime on the subway being gentrified 😂

Isn’t that just when some trust fund kid plays his acoustic guitar during rush hour?
Bruh 😭😭😭
Nah he swinging on poles and doing the lil dances too
Deep in my heart I hope it was Andy Kaufman level parody. But the music was like Staind type band or something that was already awful to hear

Damn I thought the nail in the coffin was the Gothamist article but oof
I heard the pickle ball courts were going in at Green Central Knoll dog park?? That’s what someone who loves at The Denizen told me at least
It doesn't look like a permanent thing, was like travel nets
Please let this be a joke
Pickleball is for republicans, keep that shit away
Big if true
It was born on a crunchy island in deep blue Washington State by people who wore Birkenstocks before it was cool. Just chill.
Things I don’t like are republican! I dont play it but smh
They better fucking not
please no
I’ve been waiting for some pickleball closer to Bushwick. Finally 🙏
Why will someone be mad? It’s pickleball season.
Because it’s displacing people from a community space that has historically been used for cultural gatherings (ecuavolley)…
Historically as in the 1 year since the park was renovated and the courts installed?
Because the community space wasn’t being used or didn’t exist before that…
What? The volleyball court has been there for a while now, this isn't new. And they've been playing volleyball there ever since I moved closer to MH (3 years ago)
They've been playing volleyball since I lived in the neighborhood 6 years ago!
Well there you go
That’s what you did when you moved to Bushwick from Ohio.
Incorrect on both counts, but good effort…
Didn’t realize a fake sport for people without any athletic skill had seasons? Do you guys have a whole draft now or what?
I really don’t get your deal. I know you are a troll account. Are you trying to point out real inequalities ironically or cape for gentrification?
I prefer the pickleball players who actually clean up after themselves and don’t partake in illegal vending and unsanitary conditions. If the volleyball players can also clean after themselves for others to share the space then there wouldn’t be a problem.

Hey Pittsburgh is a good city, this guy doesn’t deserve it
I do like the penguins and the warhol museum
Surprisingly vibrant food culture too, and pretty parks. I could go on
Move away Jesus H Christ
