“If guys don’t behave, they can’t play. I know one situation where one inmate screamed at another, 'I'd beat the hell out of you, but if I did, I couldn’t play Pickleball.'” (OnlyAGameNPR)
Roger BelAir is a 72-year-old from Edmonds, Washington. In 2011, he fell in love with a sport called pickleball.
"Almost everybody can play this from 9 years old, up to — I've played with people over 90 years old," Roger says. Roger thought pickleball was the perfect alternative. So, in 2017, he decided to write a letter to Cook County — America’s largest jail — asking to teach pickleball to the detainees."They said, 'This time you've lost it,'"Roger remembers."‘You've lost it before, but this time, it’s really over the top. And not only that, but you can go ahead and you can write Sheriff Dart a letter, but don’t even expect a reply.
"One inmate screamed at another, 'I'd beat the hell out of you, but if I did, I couldn’t play pickleball.' ""I know another situation where two guys were out on the court. They gave each other high fives and then realized that they belonged to opposite gangs."
