As best as I can tell, handball is like lacrosse without the sticks, helmets, or Native American origins. The goal is to throw a ball past a goalkeeper and into a net, but shots have to be taken behind a line that sits about 20 feet from the goal. However, offensive players can throw at the goal from inside this line, so long as their feet are behind the line when they jump to throw the ball. This means that most goals which are plentiful, by the way — there are about 50 per game are a result of guys taking off from behind the line and firing the ball towards the goal right before they land. Which kinda makes them look like that dude from 300 who jumped off Leonidas’s back prior to the entire Spartan army being massacred. If that doesn’t sound exciting to you, I weep for your existence. Being a fan of any of the five most popular sports in America but not a fan of handball is hypocritical because it’s basically a mixture of all five.
