Gangstarr lyric question ('Take It Personal'-R)

I always really liked the way Guru sort of made a little list here:

"But you tried to play me like an indoor sport, like racquetball, tennis, pool, whatever"

However, several of these lyric websites are telling me that he only lists two indoor activities and closes the phrase with "fool, whatever."

Which is it?

    Checked against Youtube and it confirms my memory of the video consisting of some fronting like they're playing pool so I'd definitely opt for the former on that one. This song was actually my first introduction to the idea of racquetball and at the time I suspected that Guru had just created a new word for indoor racquet sports since squash wouldn't have scanned or rhymed. It was only years later that I discovered that racquetball was a popular sport and it still is. Sorry for doubting you Guru.
