      @@tomevers6670 that is nonsense. There is nothing technically wrong with ultimate that makes it an inferior sport to soccer or basketball.

Interesting how an "unpopular" sport traversed all the way to the other side of the globe. I'm also glad the sport has an unofficial ambassador through Mr. Brownlee, a youtube creator whom I regularly watch and is very popular on the platform! I hope ultimate frisbee get a lot more popular, have a lot more people playing it and someday even see this sport reach its height and see it on the Olympics!
