…insist on better personal hygiene.
I play basketball often – a few times a week or more. Next time you play, pay attention to the raking, scraping, scratching sound comes with somebody’s shot. That is the sound of some under 30 dude with long fingernails caressing the ball as it arcs through the air.
It’s alright if the trend is for Taiwanese guys to have longer nails than girls – as long as they don’t play basketball.
At my regular b-ball spot, I was injured before by an idiot who not only had long nails, but who trimmed them so that they were POINTY ! And this is among organized teams … uniforms … referee. I complained to their coach, to the referee. They don’t reprimand or take the offender off the court … just “hey you, bad boy. Don’t do that.” the end.
I have found no alternative but to check nails before playing and refuse to guard sula fools with long nails.
