@connorpardoe_pb @jillybpb Where’s @pickleball_jim & @JimKlossKat to audit all this? Come on Jim!!

My response to Jill Braverman’s take on pro pickleball. Wow, @jillybpb What a sensational take. I wasn’t planning to respond, but when misinformation starts spreading, it’s important to set the record straight. The health and trajectory of professional pickleball have never been better. The combined PPA Tour and MLP generated over $50M in revenue last year and are on track to exceed $65M in 2025. That’s without team sales, by the way. Sponsorships are nearing $35M, ticket sales are at $10M, and event registrations are hitting $9M. These numbers don’t lie and they reflect a sport that’s growing, thriving, and building toward a $1B enterprise. Sure, merging MLP and the PPA Tour wasn’t without its challenges. Growth never is. But we’re incredibly proud of what this organization has accomplished. From a talented staff to the professional players, and a supportive ownership group, everyone is working tirelessly to elevate the sport we all love. Your narrative, however, doesn’t reflect reality. It’s full of half-truths and sensationalism aimed at tearing others down rather than lifting the game up. If your goal is truly to help pickleball, spreading misinformation isn’t the way to do it. Professional pickleball is still in its early stages, and yes, tough decisions have to be made. But let me be clear bridge loans, investments, and calculated risks are part of any ambitious growth strategy. To suggest otherwise shows a lack of understanding about how successful organizations operate. The reality is, Jill, the sport has outgrown your ability to stay relevant. Maybe that’s why you’re so bitter. It’s easier to play the victim and stir up drama than to acknowledge that you’re simply not a part of the future of pro pickleball. Good luck with whatever grudge driven project you’re working on for 2025. We’ll be busy growing the sport, leading the community, and building the next biggest sports enterprise. Pickleball’s trajectory is set with or without you. Pickle on, Connor

@pickleball_jim FINE THEIR ASSES!!!

Ok the Johns last 3 points: lobbed the third shot, missed serve, missed serve return. absurd lack of effort. a poke in the eye to fans who paid to watch pro pickleball

@pickleball_jim @pickleball_jim Ben v Quang in a Dreambreaker. Quang hits passing shots and dominates him…

Ben v Jack in dreambreaker. Ben plays all cat and mouse and dominates him

@pickleball_jim Oh really Jimmy…??? SCORE BOARD!!!! Looks like Jack got the last laugh…

@TalkPickleball @Pickledinks11

@Pickledinks11 No but they do set their rain out policy :) .

Maybe 1000 amateur players out 200 bucks due to rain at PPA Austin. PPA maybe reaping 200k for a rain out with little effort. Your views???

Mixed Pro Doubles Championship Match Game 1⃣: 11-5 Team Johnson/Johnson #APPTour #APPFamily #Pickleball #APPSacramentoOpen

How much talent is too much talent in one family?! Congratulations to the Johnsons on taking home gold at the #APPSacramentoOpen! #APPTour #Pickleball

Jorja Johnson is now the third woman in #APPTour history to win a triple crown! She now holds the record for youngest to do it at 17! #APPFamily #Pickleball #APPSacramentoOpen

@Pickleball @PickleballScot1 HOLEY BALLS! Patent Pending - CJ Woods!!!n I want a nickel every time someone mentions it!

Should pickleball consider changing its name? 🥒 And if so… what’s your new suggested rebrand for the sport? 🤔

@cltpickleballer @JimmyMiller_PB You mean Karen Kloss?

I have said my fair share of shit. But this lady commentating for the ppa has now told women not to have babie or your skills diminish, questioned the age of referees, and lit up players for 4 hours. This has officially gone off the rails. When Kloss looks sane, somethings wrong.

@JimmyMiller_PB @MaggieMaeRem Maybe the fact that she has 2.4MM Instagram followers has something to do with it....🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@MaggieMaeRem Best part is she can not win a match all year, and if she keeps getting double byes, she will finish top 20-25 in womens 😬

Giving Bouchard byes in women’s and muxed is comical and a slap in the face to those athletes who work their asses off to play and compete

@FOS @Apple - You didnt add in Professional Pickleball 🤦‍♂️...??? Have you checked the data lately from iWatch?

NEWS: Apple has launched ‘Apple Sports’—an up-to-date scoreboard app for all major leagues. Apple Sports will also connect users to the streaming apps that broadcast the games.

@cjpickleball @JimmyMiller_PB I try not to make a habit out of responding to anonymous accounts, but it is the most hideous article of clothing to ever exist

We desperately need to get this shirt out of pickleball forever

@jordiebarstool @JimmyMiller_PB Would you rather see that Selkrik shirt of the Leorever shirts...??? I rest my case!
