Sorry Quin but this does look like the stupidest game ever and I love Harry Potter. Can't kids just play Ultimate Frisbee anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quin Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://flapship.com/quidditch-the-most-uni...-think-existed/ Shameless self promotion. And in each article, the term “nerds” is applied to players over and over. While not necessarily a bad term, the media avoids using the term “athletes”, generally opting instead for something like “wizards”, which is fun for a minute. While I can attest to players generally being nerds, I’ve played on the University of Missouri’s team for almost a year, and wizards is definitely not a suitable replacement for athletes – not when the IQA just held a convention that featured such intense, athletic play.

IlliniKrush Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 I just don't see it being fun, it looks incredibly stupid. Holding a broomstick between your legs? OK. I guess if you're a huge Harry Potter fan, you'll do anything to be "part" of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK. I guess if you're a huge Harry Potter fan, you'll do anything to be "part" of it. I'm honestly not too big a Hary Potter fan. I read and loved the books, but that was years ago and I stopped watching the movies after the second. The broom made no sense to me at first either, I was dragged along by a friend. It was awkward as hell at first, but now I don't notice it. It is a good handicap though, or you could just run holding it with two hands at full speed. Once you get past running with the brooms (it takes a while) it's incredibly fun. However, it is fun when passer bys mock us at practice and then decide they'll jump in for a minute to show us how great an athlete they are. Then me or another of our players levels them with a tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxbadger Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Regardless of how I may feel about the sport, it was a great article. And Im sure people thought other sports were silly when they started, think basketball and throwing a ball into a peach basket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but its that the fact that they're athletic nerds who played all types of sports in high school gets overlooked. I've had somewhere around 20 people come to one practice and leave because they think it'll be whimsical and a Harry Potter fan club. Then they realize we really don't talk about Harry Potter, get tackled, and it takes athletic ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
