This is my sport.
Last month I wrote a post about the growth of Ping Pong. Turns out that the sport is hotter than ever.
Now comes word that actress Susan Sarandon has taken on a new role – that of investor in SPiN, a Ping-Pong parlor that just opened its doors in New York.
The Thelma & Louise star, who discovered the game through her son Miles and helped launch the new place this month, is very excited about her passion for ping pong.
“I started finding out that there was this subculture of Ping-Pong and all these people that you wouldn’t expect are serious about it,” she said. “I just worked with Ed Norton, and he’s so committed that he trained in China while he was shooting a film there.”
In a recent People magazine Sarandon mentions that George Clooney is also a fierce competitor.
I propose Table Tennis Jujitsu.
Absolutely sutunning armbar variations. Seriously beautiful to watch.
Many white people will tell you that they are very into soccer. But be careful, it’s a trap.
If you then attempt to engage them about your favorite soccer team or talk about famous moments in soccer history, you are likely to be met with blank stares. This is because white people don’t actually enjoy watching soccer, they just like telling their friends that they are into it.
In fact, the main reason white people like soccer is so they can buy a new scarf. As you may or may not know, many soccer teams issue special scarves, and white people cannot get enough of them!
