An American variation on the English girls' sport of netball. Netball is somewhat challenging as it places an emphasis upon throwing accuracy by forcing participants to stay on the spot in which they take possession of the ball. These rules were relaxed to allow the less-skilled-than-English-girls American players to run with the ball.
Chap number one: What-ho, Jeremy! The Yanks are playing netball!
Chap number two: Goodness, no, Cedric, that is one of their sports, they call it basketball - look, no gals and the rules are relaxed!
Chap number one: Bless their cotton socks.

Get the Basketball mug.The absolute best game ever to play...........SIKE its considered a very amazing sport and I agree it is but it is not the best sport, Football overall in America at least is the best sport to eat h no some people may not love playing it so they choose something "a little less rough" LOL some of these sports including Basketball,baseball(who h can be dangerous), Hockey,soccer and tennis. That concludes my opinion piece.
