Major League Pickleball announces major cuts

The rapid growth of the sport surprised many around the world. But not all is well in the world of pickleball. Recently, Major League Pickleball announced that it will have to cut 40% from the players employed under them for the 2024 season. However, they also cut the number of days they have to play in the season. 

The regulation is 200 days, but it has been cut down to 120. If they fill the remainder of the days on the calendar with other pickleball activities, they do not need to share any percentage of income they earn with MLP. Although the sport has grown quite quickly, the cuts come as a major blow. But also, given its popularity, it has a great chance of a quick recovery.
