A REAL Footbag Article
"Just Don’t Call it Hacky Sack" is the title of a Canadian article written by Signy Holmes and featuring our friend Andrew Grant.
The Manitoban is the Official University of Manitoba Students’ Newspaper and I have to say that I was really impressed with this one.
Andrew Grant, local footbag champion and a student at the University of Winnipeg, says that while the average Canadian may not be aware of his sport, things are slowly changing overseas.
“It’s definitely gaining amazing popularity in Europe as a kind of underground sport, similar to how skateboarding was, and there’s people picking it up everywhere. From Portugal to Estonia, Finland all the way to Greece, all across Europe it’s just growing. . . . Three years ago in Japan there was nobody really playing and now everybody in the country knows about it.”
For those whose experience with footbag is limited to recesses and lunch hours long past, the idea of footbag as an international sport is probably a bit hard to grasp. In reality, said Grant, “It’s not just the high school dropout activity that everyone seems to think it is; it’s a really high-energy, difficult sport that’s a lot of fun.”
Way To Go Andrew!!. Thanks for hooking the community up with a great example of what an article about Footbag in the media should be.
Obviously, I highly recommend that you go and read the whole article right away
