Handball arguement with friends

[runner4life7]

So today at pizza hut my roommates and I were discussing handball. I said its an olympic sport played on a big field with a team and round ball. They said its like raquetball. I said their's could be called handball but the olympic sport is clearly the one i said. They mad fun of mine and said are you sure it isnt lacrosse or crap like that. And now after seeing as both exist on google they still think they are at least equally right in the arguement, and one even thinks more right. Are my roommates really retarded?

thats exactly what i used, i even said a round brown ball. i get easily worked up on arguements when people cant use logic at all and dont realize they are wrong.

American (or court) handball

"It is similar to (and in fact preceded) racquetball and squash. "

[traz]

Americans play handball with racquets, and football with their hands

Handball with a racquet is called racquetball.

thats the thing though, i didnt say their's wasnt called handball. but they were sure my game didnt exist and that its in no way an olympic sport cause they havent seen it. Thats why ithink i won, not a tie cause both exist. yes it is about winning and yes ihave a problem.

my final point, it was brought up cause my friends and i made a game we called handball played on a tennis court with jsut the first half and a tennis ball. I didn't say their game wasnt handball, just that olympics which imo >>>> any other deciding factor for a sport name calls my sport handball.

You all lose. Your friends lose for being retarded and you lose for arguing with the retarded.

I want to play this real bad.

The Olympic version that is, where does this stuff happen at? I think I live in a lame area.
