After a double pickle sparked some angry DMs, AB made her stance pretty clear: if you want the point, earn it.

Is running up an 11-0 game ruthless… or just part of pro sports? 👀👇

To respect your opponent is to play at your best, not to "give" a point.

Nah fk that it’s a tournament now you give them one point and somehow they fight back and win lmao. 😂😂😂 if you can win 11-0 11-0 you do it get it ver with and move to the next… I rather you cook me 11-0 than give me one pity point that’s actually disrespectful to your opponent..

They don’t need a point. Just give a participation trophy so it’s less cruel.

Pity points is a poor mindset -- and most certainly a slippery slope. Avoid it. Compete and Win. Every point is a puzzle to solve. Study your opponents. Create opportunities. Take risks. If you don't score... There is room for improvement. Train and Improve. Most of all - have fun! It's a GAME! #pickleball #train #compete have #fun #nopitypoints remember #itsagame

Points are earned. Competition and compassion don’t go together

I stand with AB and ALW. Its part of the game strategy. Shouting gains confidence and prolly can intimidate opponents.

Kind of ridiculous to think people should get charity points. Just up your skill level. When the USA basketball team thrashes people no one says they should be more generous.
