Just generally big in the Balkans.

You mean like generally overperforming vastly in the most popular sport on the planet along with the likes of Croatia, despite Denmark and Croatia being incredibly small countries?

Americans are clueless about handball. I remember when some NFL player said they could put together a team that would beat olympic champions (France at the time).

The passive play rule isn't that different to the shot clock tbh, it serves the same purpose

I think Basketball's popularity is the reason handball is a thing in the US. They occupy the same niche so why play/watch handball when Basketbal is right there.

It has always been incredible to me how many morons feel the need to belittle achievements of others by being “original” and saying their sport isn’t a sport or irrelevant.

Like, what do you get out of this? All you’re doing is damaging the reputation of your own favorite sports. The danish team is world class in one of the most physical sports in the world. Arguably more physical than American Football by far.

Lets just clean house and Fire Everybody -- Except Dak Prescott and Kevin McCarthy

The Dutch will be in trouble when Jay Cutler starts playing

He should stay in college forever like Van Wilder.

Truth. Nothing will change until he’s in the ground and can’t make terrible decisions anymore.

It wasn't humor it was just a rude comment, you're just a jerk bro

Please come to the Chargers

He's offensive.

Do you mean something countries like Spain, Germany and France plays maybe?

Former European championship winners in the most popular sport in the world and came 4th in the most recent tournament. Not bad for a relatively small nation

There's also an Irish sport called handball that is basically racketless squash

Tell that to anyone in Europe, you'd be surprised...

Yeah, Americans would actually love it. It's basically violent basketball mixed with hockey rules(actual goal, two-minute suspensions).

Yeah, I've told this to my American friends. It simply isn't popular because it's not a college sport, plus every athletic person is gonna do a school sport(scholarships and whatnot). As you say, if you're 6'4 and athletic, you're either playing basketball or american football already for sure.

Average international handball player is built like an NFL linebacker or tight end lol

Give him a break? I didn’t say anything other than a lot of people care. As in that’s why it’s in the news. I didn’t say anything negative or bad about Bennett. Tf are you even talking about lol

Congratulations for all the Danish here! It was a tough, close game in semis against you, you always make us bring the A game.

Touché
