Nah, probably more to do with it being something your grandmother does with her friends in the retirement home

You've never played badminton let alone seen professionals play, have you? It's no less grueling than volleyball or tennis.

The only people in America that play are old. It's not exactly the same.

Badminton is fun, and it is surprisingly fun watching it in the Olympics.

Hell, I ... watched it (badminton) during a LAN party instead of playing a game last weekend.

Why isn't Badminton a sport? I mean seriously, give me some solid backup on why badminton isn't a sport. Otherwise you guys are just pussies that bash whatever America isn't good at.

Actually I have, in fucking 4th grade PE. Me and my black friend Jamaris won the tournament bitch, shows what you know huh. I ve also played ping pong from time to time, and seen some other drunken frat boys playing it too but that doesn't mean anybody gives a shit about it... why not just make pool / billiards, darts and fucking pinball an olympic sport while we're at it!

Not sure how that has shit to do with shit, but good luck with the butthurt anyway bro. Y'see, just goes to show even us heathen Americans are taught about, learn the rules of and play most ALL the sports growing up, save some cricket type faggotry... we just lrn2weedout the queerest ones early. Badminton falls in that category, fo sho... so we move on to something bad fuckin ass - LIKE KICKBALL! and whiffleball FTW! amirite guize... ultimate frisbee FUCK YEA

Queer, gay, faggot sport, etc, etc, etc.

Those are all replies I get from people that have an IQ of 40. Also, I'm an American. I like football and baseball, hell, even kickball.

But seriously, whiffle ball? Now THAT is a queer sport. What's wrong, wood and leather too much for you?

actually I agree, but sadly it was still better than badminton. we also weed out soccer very early, nobody wants to run around like faggots all afternoon

Wiffleball is good for kids who can't hit a fast pitch yet but still want to play the game. It's fine for kids under 10ish.

That's called t-ball. If you can only hit a plastic ball going at 10 mph, might as well just hit it off a stand.
>> Anonymous

T-ball has a regular baseball it's just on a stand, right? Wiffleball has those cheap little plastic balls with holes in them that make them not go very fast (ie so kids don't get hit in the face).

It's called 'tee-ball' tard. They hit it off of a tee, not the letter 'T'

What elementary school in their right mind would let kids play fast pitch baseball -- can you say lawsuit waiting to happen?!? Plus what level real baseball are you back then anyway, Little League wise... Mighty-Mights? Minor League?

you might have a point if we were talkin about gayass soccer... but we're not. we're talking about your grandmothers badminton for fuck's sake. do you see mexico and russia and england and sweden lining up to play that shit? Nope, the medal count shows China, Indonesia and Korea as the only ones who give a shit. You're in the minority nigger, GTFO already.

I'm American too, asshole, and I like baseball.
But I'm also open-minded and enjoy sports like badminton as well, unlike some close-minded tards in this country.

Boring. It lacks the tactical finesse of ping pong or tennis, you just have to hit the "ball" over the net.
I played it in school and never could hit them over my head so that doesn't help either.
