It wasn't really for the players so much as the fans, from her understanding.

Her eyes bulged. "Well it's kind of like football, but played on broomsticks... and well, you're just going to have to come to a match with me next summer! That's not really an option. I mean I know you'll see matches at Hogwarts but it's definitely not the same as professional." She nodded about the breaking the mould. "I like that. We're making history right here, right now too."

"Oh it is played in the air. They just can't actually start in the air." she grinned, which didn't really make sense but kind of did. But maybe that was just cause she'd grown up watching the sport so it was familiar to her. She took another bite of sandwich, chewing thoughtfully.

Sloane sort of understood that the pitch wasn’t supposed to be the home of the gnomes but if was their home, should they be thrown out just for a sport that’s mostly played in the air. It just seemed…wrong. “I think a wildflower patch is exactly what the sport needs really,” although she wasn’t going to hold her breath in any changes to the sport being made anytime soon.

Frowning at the way Emma seemed to react to her answer, she did her best to listen but there was just something about the sport that made her brain switch off whenever someone tried to explain the sport to her. “Maybe I’ll try and watch a game this year, although it wasn’t exactly a priority. She’d rather learn how to do something actually fun and interesting, like paint. As for breaking history, “I guess we are. Real important stuff, sitting on the pitch eating food.” It may have sounded like sarcasm but Sloane was a big foodie. If there were food venders at the Quidditch game, she may actually turn up, if only for the food.

“Well that’s silly. They could just start in the air instead and leave the gnomes alone,” because it didn’t seem like too much to ask. “Either way, I’ll bring my rubbish with me when I leave, even if I don’t like the sport.”
