First time saw it years ago, I was like those kids just aren't inshape to actually play anything else, its not really hard, and takes mininal strength/movement, but its quite amusing at times Satisfied


You didn't see them play competitively. Big Grin

A couple years back, for shits and giggles, a couple buds and I decide to 'try-out' for the high-school badminton team.

So you're looking at five white guys, who are all around 5'9 -6'1, we all played rugby, and two others wrestled.

We head into the gym, and find that we are the only white dudes in there. The rest are all Asian, and they are all shorter, and thinner than us.

Of course, all five of us thought this is going to be f*cking easy. We weren't all that fast, but we were all about muscle, and arm power, so we all agreed that we'd have this try-out wrapped up in half an hour, and we'd be Canadian champions in about two-weeks, give or take.

We got our asses deep-fried, basted, herbed, and handed to us within five minutes. I've never seen such speed in my life. They were so clever, that they just used our power shots against us, and made us run all over the place diving for the birdie.

After that day, I got a new respect for the game.

I decided that I'd be better served in Volleyball. Watching it that is. Especially Women's Volleyball on ESPN.

The only game where everyone competes to be an e-janitor.
