I think it very well could be, and here’s why.
As pickleball becomes more mainstream - and is on TV more - the game will evolve to what the masses want to see.
Hockey has gone through transformations that led to more scoring and baseball is in a crisis right now to try to being in more viewers because the game is deemed too slow by younger viewers.
Ultimately, it will come down to what will make the game more money, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
Lots of sports have evolved to the point where we’d hardly recognize them in their original form. The cool thing about pickleball is we are here to watch its evolution happen in real-time, which is super unique and exciting!
