Not a bad idea for the winter Olympics. Add some paint so you can see who gets hit. Might up the TV ratings. The other players are there to protect the goalie (target). A losing goalie would be completely covered with painted snow.
Yup, it was! A medal sport in 1900, and a demonstration event in 1924, 1968, and 1992. https://www.topendsports.com/events/discontinued/basque-pelota.htm

Jai-alai has way more reason to be in the olympics than synchronized swimming (or at least 10 other “sports” I could mention)

Haha! I love this comic. It’s so funny to think about someone so far away getting hit with snowballs and they have no clue why. haha!

Wait, Jason’s actually good at an athletic activity?

I’m not going to claim to be familiar with jai alai, but I have a hard time believing they can be consistently accurate at that range.

Did you know that one of the rules of jai alai is that it must be played right-handed?

They better hope it’s not Suzie Derkins from Calvin. She’d clean their clocks!

That’s as close as those two are ever going to get to a sport! ;-p

When I was a kid, the unique thing about jai-alai was that it was the only human sport on which gambling was legal anywhere in the US.
