Who invented netball is controversial and disputed. many cite James Naismith, who invented basketball and who allegedly invented netball too by mistake.
Clara Baer misinterpreted the rules of basketball what James sent her so some people credit Clara Baer for inventing netball by mistake.
Then some say invention of netball goes back to Martina Bergman-Osterberg for Hampstead College in London, who got the idea from a misconception of the American basketball game being played at that time in America.
3 people, James, Clara and Martina, are all cited by sources as having invented netball, not one of them laid claim to netball, and they all allegedly invented netball by a mistake or not understanding the rules of basketball correctly.
One hell of a way to invent something.
Given Donnell Wallam’s stupidity, bet you anything not one of those potential three inventors, James, Clara or Martina would want to lay claim to it at the moment.
