[edit] COOOOOOOL!

This sport sound so much fun! I wish this was put in major cities too!

[edit] Is this still around?

I just recalled this show and looked it up. The main article makes it seem like the show is still around but I don't think it is in the US... Any news on the British show and if new seasons are being played? Smoove K 12:31, 7 September 2005 (UTC)

It's here in Italy, which is actually where I first learned about it (I live in the States), but I don't know if it's current (i.e. old games with Italian dubbing). --Rob1n 11:50, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually it is still around!! They do occasionally slam dunk cometition,but other than that play regular seasons.--Panicpack

[edit] I dig this sport

They need to put this sport in major cities.

[edit] Subjective, Citation

Subjective text needs to be cleaned up and reworded, examples:

where it picked up a substantial British fanbase built a beautiful new court of the rapidly growing sport

sadly this did not happen. This doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. wiki is not a marketing platform and this sounds like it was cut and paste from a press release.

Also this article needs citation. A lot of claims are made and no sources are provided. --Crossmr 19:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] the sport

can any one put the rules of the sport and how it is played here. this needs to be more about the sport and less about the league.--Thugchildz

I'm fairly certain that the sport is patented by the same people who ran the league (like Arena Football and the Arena Football League), essentially making the two one in the same. - Ecksem Diem 11:18, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Information Needs Verified

"In Italy SlamBall made its debut on Italia 1 on July 16th, 2007 gaining impressive ratings and media fervor. Plans for a new season are in motion with an International model as the basis for the new league structure."

I have yet to hear any information on this. Is there a link to this information? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.78.46.95 (talk) 22:47, August 25, 2007 (UTC)

[edit] possible comback?

[edit] Websites

http://www.geocities.com/kairo28dk http://www.geocities.com/slamball28

These are the best sites for information regarding the 2002 and 2003 seasons, respectively.

Also, why is Slamball the Magazine linked? It has nothing to do with Slamball. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.141.200.95 (talk) 05:42, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
