VIDEO: One stupidly good catch was enough to turn us into hardcore fans of ultimate frisbee

It is so a sport

Darragh Murphy

We’re all for any sport that involves popping an exciting adjective ahead of a children’s toy.

Whether it’s Extreme Tamagotchi, Super Furby or Hardcore Those Alien Things, count us right bloody in.

That’s one reason we’re so taken by Ultimate Frisbee but the less idiotic reason is that the sport has got some pretty impressive plays.

Just take a look at Chicago Wildfire’s AJ Nelson who channeled his inner Odell Beckham Jr to pull off a mind-bogglingly outstanding catch recently.

We may not have been fans before but now we’re planning on ditching the five-a-side in favour of some top-notch disc throwing.
