Gay Basketball?
editthe bulleted entry "Gay Basketball" does not refer to any specific variation of rules or officiating as far as i can tell. if this is organized under any prominent governing body, it should be listed. i question if this should be moved to the Recreational Basketball section, or removed entirely. 173.48.32.101 (talk) 05:04, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
Basketball is an American sport that is played worldwide
editSo why isn't the origin country listed as the USA in the info panel?. I'm starting to see a weird pattern when it comes to certain American created things. Not wanting to give credit or trying to share credit with some other country all while completely skipping over it and putting "worldwide". at the end of the day the sport's birth country is the US. it should say so in the info panel. with also played "worldwide" beneath it. 2601:195:C581:26E0:311F:3E8:D41F:441A (talk) 20:30, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
Stating that basketball is American/Canadian is like stating that Americans were the first to land on the moon. Self-evident and unnecessary to emphasise. Nations with few achievements need to advertise them, the USA do not have to stoop so low. 86.128.213.123 (talk) 16:41, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
