      The worst part is you just know their pitch included some bullshit about the symbolism of how the individual 'you’s come together because of the huupe desolate

          Huupmans.

          Please pay no attention to how close that is to the German word “hauptmann” and the people famously associated with that word.

    Not to over play how shit this is but since kids use this too, I feel like sports are a great way to learn to keep track of things in your head, which must be good for your brain in addition to the physical activity. We’ve been doing this with hoops since we got em what does this even add? I think it just takes away another social and personal aspect of possible growth for something that will 1 for sure break and 2 still certainly suck at doing what is supposed to do anyway

    $10,000 USD plus $30/month subscription “for those who want added content, the ability to advertise on the backboard and more.”
