There is a claim that the yo-yo originated in the Philippines as a weapon for hunting. The hunter would sit in a tree waiting for some jungle creature to show up beneath him. At that moment the hunter would drop a large stone yo-yo on the little critter’s head. If he missed, the yo-yo returned to the hunter so he could try again later. If he got bored he could do a giant “rock the cradle” using his feet.
So the tree would naturally make a yo-yo reference.

A tree that calls them as he sees them; a good candidate to be a ref.

Unfortunately, though, too many refs think they are a tree and remain rooted in the center circle.

Shouldn’t the grass be at least a little dug up from the “Cleats”?
(At least Fritz isn’t here trying to start a l;wasuit yet.)

“Sorry, tree dude. That’s just the grass talking.”
I could have gone to Law School, but as you can see the field is already crowded…

Well, yo-yo’s worked as a weapon in the Star Tropics video games.
