This Week in Darts: Adrian Lewis Can Return after Ban, Controversy over Walk-on Girls Continues, Hobbyist Interest on the Rise

Darts may be a relatively relaxed sport on the casual side, but the professional world is very far from that, and can be quite active at times. We’ve recently seen some exciting developments, some of which have drawn attention from the outside too, as a fresh controversy has managed to spill into other areas of sports and has ignited some interesting discussions.

Adrian Lewis Fined, Suspended, but Can Compete

Adrian Lewis has found himself in the spotlight in some rather unpleasant ways, as he received a suspended ban for three months as a result of his clash with Jose Justicia. The event drew a lot of negative attention to both players, but many comments were primarily focused on Lewis and his specific involvement. However, the player is free to compete despite the incident, as his ban has been suspended for six months. He’ll also have to pay a fine of £3,000.

Should Walk-on Girls Return? The Debate Goes on

When the announcement came out that walk-on girls were getting removed as an element of professional darts competitions, this generated lots of discussions and drew significant attention to the sport. Many support the decision, claiming that it’s long overdue, while others are insistent that the practice should be revived and that it doesn’t harm the sport in any way.

This has become a hot topic even among fans of other sports, completely unrelated to darts, and it looks like it could ignite a wave of events across the sports world as a whole. We’re already seeing some interesting arguments from both sides, and it doesn’t look like the discussions are going to die down anytime soon, so it will be interesting to follow them and see where things end up.

Darts Is Back in People’s Homes

As computers and other digital gadgets started to gain popularity and overtook traditional games on many fronts, many had forgotten about the good old classics like darts. Recently, this trend seems to be getting reversed however, as more people are paying attention to the true classics like darts and pool, as well as board games. There are lots of places to get proper equipment, from quality dartboards to good darts and digital counters, so as long as one is interested in getting involved in the sport in a hobbyist capacity, there is no shortage of opportunities. Plus, the community around darts has seen a revival as well, and there are lots of people to share your interest with.

It’s interesting how events on the darts scene seem to come and go in explosive bursts, as we’re currently seeing a lot of attention towards the sport which is likely going to linger for at least a few more weeks. It’s hard to tell whether the revived interest in playing darts at home is going to be a lasting trend, but it’s good to see that people are at least willing to diversify their interests temporarily, as we’ve certainly been in need of a fresh breath of air recently.
