Violence finally arrives on the badminton court in 2013 Canadian Open
http://globalnews.ca/news/732881/fight-between-two-badminton-players-caught-on-tape-at-richmond-oval/
At last,badminton joins the big league with violence
between players on court! Hot on the heels of Football,
Ice Hockey etc.
Now those fanatical and blood-thirsty sub-human fans can look
forward to crowd violence a la the 60s of a certain 3rd world
country or maybe assasinations as in Tennis (Seles) or Ice Skating
or legendary Taufik Hidayat pioneering the act of assaulting
spectators Eric Cantona style!
This must be the ultimate in "sportsmanship" that the demented
and fanatical fans demanded,players from the same country
competing against each other fervently and even shamelessly
coming to blows in front of the TV with no regard for the image
of their country and becoming a worldwide laughing stock!
I can see it now, Lin Dan clubbing Chen Long or maybe China's
women's doubles pair having a hair pulling henfight on TV!
Badminton ratings will surely soar like wrestling! No more match
fixings and half fought matches amongst own countrymen! Pure
sportsmanship and really fierce competitive spirit,individual
before country! Maybe this can be a good lesson for the disqualified
women's doubles pairs in OG 2012, and the Thai players perfect role
models for them, intense competition at all costs,the ultimate in competive
spirit and "shportsmanshop", joy in participation rather than winning.
Divide and rule and fill the stadiums and sell tickets ! Good
publicity for the Olympics,surpassing that of the cheating and
"sportsmanship" in Track and Field or Cycling!
Hypocrites and sour grapes all rolled into one.
