Unlike other athletes, Frisbee people won't let it go. My theory is that this is because there's a huge overlap between people who are good at Frisbee and people who do Teach for America. The same instinct to make at-risk kids learn, which I admire so much, becomes deadly when turned on friends trying to relax on a Sunday afternoon in the park.
Mindy Kaling discusses a unique aspect of Frisbee culture, suggesting that enthusiasts often pursue the game with a relentless dedication that can disrupt casual enjoyment. This fervor is contrasted with the laid-back nature typically associated with recreational sports, indicating a deeper drive that some players possess.
Kaling humorously connects this intensity to the personality traits of individuals drawn to volunteer programs like Teach for America, which focus on making a significant impact on at-risk youth. While she admires this passion in education, she points out how it can lead to overly competitive behavior among friends who simply want to enjoy a relaxed day outdoors.
