In Europe you would be amazed how many handball fans they have!! Thats in Norway, Russia, Sweden, Czech, Germany and area. l played in Turkey and now playing in Canada. In Turkey it was much more popular than Canada.
But ya, it actually is a pro sport. (thats team handball by the way) not wall handball.

lol l know l just felt like checking and theres only 3 questions!!!

Because l like it!!!

It depends on ur interpretation of Handball for example in the US this activity has a totally different meaning to that as played in European.

l have coached Handball in Germany through the Bundesliga in Thuringia. The Bundesliga is similar competition to that of the various European Soccer competitions. Handball is the second largest participating sport in Germany behind Soccer.

The players in the mens German National league r professional & receive a pay cheque like those in soccer.

If u look for teams HCL Leipzig (Womens) or ThSV Eisenach or previous players like Magnus Wislander u will have an understanding of Handball.
Incidentally Handball is played world wide, it is an Olympic Sport, it also has its regional & world cup championships too.
The sport has previously been dominated by European countries, but in recent times countries like Korea r starting to adapt. Countries like Brazil r developing well with strong players playing in Europe.

because its an olympic sport!

When ever this ? gets asked it usually comes down to the fact many people r unaware of team handball (played 7 versus 7) & only know about hand/glove version or a game they played in gym.

Yes not many questions get asked about Handball, but this has to do with the fact in YAHOO English the sport is not popular or even known at all. In North America Greenland is really only place where the sport is popular.

Remember YAHOO also has an International YA as well & it includes Germany, France, Spain, South Korea & Brazil. These r all countries where Handball has either strong national teams & pro leagues. Sport is also growing in Asia & Africa.

Team Handball is indeed a professional sport in Europe with top leagues in Germany, Spain & France as well as being played throughout Scandinavia ( Sweden, Denmark & Iceland) & Eastern Europe (Poland,Russia,Croatia,Hungary & Montenegro to name just a few of the countries)

Top players on the best club teams r getting paid a couple $100,000 is a year.

Besides Men the Women also play the sport at the pro level, Olympics & World Championships.
