I’m a French basque, who grew up in Miami..My dad played professionally and so did his brother, cousins, etc…Many of my family play the game, and if I didn’t move to the states I def would have ended up a Jai Alai player, as I started to play as a kid …Much respect for this sport which has been in my family for generations

The scumbags that ran World Jai Alai into the ground i.e. Callahan,Rico, Donovan should rot in the hot place. What a shame that a great sport was hijacked by organized crime. See Whitey Bulger.

On our last trip to Florida back in 1995 we got to watch a game of Jai-alai and while I didn't understand the rules at all(actually only got a good description a couple months ago after much searching) I loved the play of the game and wanted to watch soo much more. What was hilarious was the old Asian women in front of us yelling at the players. OMG, they were sooo cruel in their insults.

When they failed to get the game into the Olympics in the 1960s, and gambling became easier to do with casinos, it was just a matter of time until it died off. JainAlai is just too dangerous to have a feeder system of children playing the game to ever be more than a local sport in Spain, or a gambling game in Florida.

The reason this sport isn’t as big as you would think is probably due to the cost and limited people that produce the equipment. The ball and the basket need to be hand woven and it sounds like those balls don’t last long in the game. It’s like if a baseball cost $100 to make and the bats or glove cost $900.

Well this explains why it never took off as a national sport. We use to play our own version of this with Trac-Ball off the local library wall. Tried playing in the school gym, ball hit the wall with a B O O M that brought the janitors to invesitgate.
