I only heard of this after Matthew Perry died. One of the sports channels was showing matches yesterday. Tennis for overweight and old people.

It looks like a sport that's gained popularity because of the lower entry requirements to play. I suppose the nearest equivalent therefore is walking football but to many that's too unchallenging to enjoy. Edit: Possibly futsal too.

So yeah, football could prioritise the community and inclusivity aspect? The sports gets picked up early in life though and the disparity between good/bad might be a bit much.

PS. Padel is good too. The older I get the more I like racket sports.
