Charles Barkley isn't a fan of pickleball, and for good reason. He's not alone in his opinion, as many athletes and doctors are speaking out about the dangers of this popular sport. The former NBA legend recently shared his thoughts on the matter, saying that pickleball is a 'gift that keeps giving' because it's causing so many injuries among older players. His doctor friends agree, and they're seeing a lot of broken bones and torn ACLs as a result of the sport. Even NFL tight end George Kittle has chimed in, saying he's heard similar stories about the dangers of pickleball. So, what's behind the rise of this supposedly relaxing sport? It turns out that many players are taking it way too seriously, and it's leading to some serious injuries. If you're looking for a low-key way to stay active in your golden years, you might want to consider golf instead. It's a sport that's been around for centuries, and it's a lot less likely to cause you harm.
