Lily Grimley was grabbed by the throat during an altercation at a social netball game a few years ago, forcing her out of the competition that she joined purely for social reasons — and it's not uncommon.
The article from MSN discusses the growing issue of competitiveness in social sports leagues, particularly in Australia, where the intense focus on winning is driving participants away. It highlights how the original ethos of social sports, which emphasized fun, fitness, and community, is being overshadowed by a win-at-all-costs mentality. This shift has led to increased pressure, aggressive play, and even cheating, which contradicts the spirit of social sports. In response, some leagues and organizers are attempting to reintroduce the fun element by implementing rules like no referees, encouraging self-officiating, and promoting inclusivity over competition. Examples include the "No Ref, Just Play" initiative in soccer and the "Social Sport" movement, which focuses on creating a more relaxed, enjoyable environment where the emphasis is on participation rather than victory. These efforts aim to retain players by fostering a sense of community and enjoyment, rather than fostering a competitive atmosphere that might alienate casual players.
