Nerds want to letter in Quidditch

Some High Schoolers in Texas are petitioning to have Quidditch added to the schools athletic program. Hit me with the sadness Baltimore Sun:

"People don't really grasp that it's a legit sport. But, everybody thinks, especially at Keller high school, that it's really cool," said Brooklyn George, one of the group's co-founders.

My guess here is that people don't grasp that it's a legit sport because it's not a legit sport. It's a bunch of losers running around with broom sticks yelling "magic missile, magic missile". Also this is exactly the kind of quote you'd expect from a kid named Brooklyn. Seriously who does that to their kid? It's not like my standards are really high, I named my kid Logan after Wolverine. Brooklyn and they live in Texas? Ugh

But I digress. If you haven't seen Muggle Quidditch you're really missing out on a great opportunity to mock some nerds. Here's a report from UCLA on the phenomenon sweeping the campus.



Still It's better than Ultimate Frisbee.
