Attention fellow Americans. On Saturday, March 24th, the district plans on having a game of basketball with different teams, clubs, and organizations from all over Utah. Ah ah ah, there’s a catch. You’ll be playing basketball while riding donkeys. Yes, really. This is a thing?

“Hey Helen, what do you plan on doing this weekend?”

“Well, my basketball team has a game, and we’ll be riding on donkeys while trying to beat other people riding donkeys.”

“Oh… I was just going to water my Petunias… Sounds like a lot of fun…”

Helen won her game by an astounding 2-0, and Barbara was so in shock about Donkey Basketball that she never did get to water her Petunias. Next month, they’ll probably be playing football on elephants.  I get why the district would do this, new experiences, and it does sound like fun. I want to ride an animal while playing sports. If all sports were like that, then I’d be way more into it. The game is from 3:00-5:00 p.m. at Hunter High’s gym. Admission is $8 for adults, and $6 for students.

This isn’t just something the district made up, oh no. This is an actual sport that people partake in… There are teams and celebrities, but I don’t know about any leagues, or if this is going to be the next Olympic sport. All I can say is I want to join. Also, make it an Olympic sport. That would be great, thanks.

Come and support people you don’t know, trying to win a friendly game of basketball while trying to ride a donkey. Why a donkey? They could’ve chosen something cooler to ride, like a zorse. A zorse is a thing to, kinda like this sport. They’re a mixture of a zebra, and a horse and they’re the best things ever. So be there if you’re bored on a Saturday and want some entertainment.
