Default Ultimate?
OK, so I'm a fairly athletic person. I've played soccer at a reasonably competitive level for 25+ years, I can hold my own on the basketball court, I can play football, and feel pretty comfortable with most sports that involve any form of running and hand-eye-foot coordination. My wife and I just got back from playing Ultimate frisbee for the first time with a group of people. Is it me or is Ultimate frisbee the sport for people who can not play any other sport but fancy themselves athletes?

It was a clusterfuck of jargon, weird and unnecessary order imposed on any creativity, and generally how to ruin any type of fun while taking the game WAY TOO serious. There were a few really good players, but even they had only marginal concept of field awareness and spacing. And the thing is I don't think I sucked that bad, and my wife was down right good, but it is was just too freaky.

Anyone have thoughts?
