My country hosts an european handball championships atm, so handball is all over the tv and im watching quite alot of it lately, and i was wondering do folks in USA even realize this sport exists?
Im a sports fan in general, watch alot of different sports, and i must say handball games can be extremely fun. I cant help but think that handball could be extremely popular in USA if you guys packed it american way ( measure tons of stats, give teams names like "lightning" or "cats" or something, have a tv break every 2 minutes to show hamburger, make players pop figures so audience gets attatched to their personal stories... ) and you guys could be world champions probably in a decade or so, specially since you got black guys. Here only France has a couple of black guys and theyre already champs every other year....
Handball requires strenght, physical toughness ( no flopping whatsoever ) , speed, agility, you see crossovers and alley oops and spinning shit, its a high scoring game, its really fast paced, so i really see no reason why it wouldnt be super popular in USA if some money was thrown in it.
Not many handball videos out there since its not played in many countries, here are some highlights if you guys dont even know what im talking about here :
So question is, are people in USA even aware this sport exists? If yes, any other reasons noone in USA play it other than there is no money thrown in it atm?
