It’s a combination of three of the nation’s favourite sports - soccer, netball and basketball - it’s fast, it’s fun and it can be played anywhere: indoors, outdoors or on the beach.
In handball, a three second rule ensure players cannot dwell on the ball and while there is no basketball-style shot clock, if a referee (there are two) rules a team is not trying to score, he/she can award possession to the opposition.
The men’s game is played over two 30-minute halves while the women play for 20 minutes in each half and in that time it’s not unusual for 40 goals to be scored.

 gladwell dot com - the sports taboo
The education of any athlete begins, in part, with an education in the racial taxonomy of his chosen sport-in the subtle, unwritten rules about what whites are supposed to be good at and what fls are supposed to be good at.
The point of this, presumably, is to put our discussion of sports on a par with legal notions of racial equality, which would be a fine idea except that civil-rights law governs matters like housing and employment and the sports taboo covers matters like what can be said about someone's jump shot.
Today's fl athletes are multimillion- dollar corporate pitchmen, with talk shows and sneaker deals and publicity machines and almost daily media opportunities to share their thoughts with the world, and it's very hard to see how all this contrives to make them look stupid.
