Contrary to the uninformed beliefs of Gumba Gumba, is a game that was invented in the United States by a New Orleans sports teacher named Clara Baer. She had been learned of a new game called basketball which had been invented in Massachusetts in 1891 by Canadian immigrant James Naismith, and wrote to him asking about the rules.
Baer misunderstood certain aspects of the court lines that Naismith had included in a sketch enclosed in his response, and thus netball - originally known as women's indoor basketball - became a game quite distinct from Naismith's game. The first official game of netball was played in 1895.

Get the netball mug.The sudden feeling of having testicles while on the internet. This usually occurs when engaged in arguments and/or starting shit via internet posts, comments, etc.
Don't be fooled, these testicles only spawn while the host has hands attached to a keyboard, touch screen, or other typing device.
They quickly shrivel and disappear when encountered in real life.
