Not really a sport known to North America, but it's pretty big in Europe. My cousin posted this video on facebook. It gets pretty intense. It's a mix of basketball and soccer. They commentators are speaking Polish (SKRILLEX will understand it). It's Poland vs. Denmark.

My dad won Finnish championships and was on the National team way back when.

I'm getting just a bit too tired of hearing those stories over and over again, but it sounds like a fun and demanding sport. For a long time it was considered a posh sport here, I don't know what the situation is now.

Handball was def the best unit in gym class, and usually the longest cause no one wanted to stop. Wish there were some US leagues to play in.

I played this once or twice in middle school. It was actually so fun! I saw a kid wearing his handball jersey once, I'd be interested to see if there's a league near me.
