    What a sad story indeed after all.

    I hope that the tournament is still going on, rather than being cancelled when this condition become worse than ever.

    Is there no other way to deliver that important thing?

    Hmm... what a twist there...

    I’m puzzled by Victor’s decision. After all, Korea has to be a major market, no?

    Nothing wrong with the Koreans as such, but there is something seriously wrong with the senior management in BKA. Seems more and more likley to me that the mass resignation is the only way to show the world that BKA is not run by the right people with the right vision and views. As a fan, that is really sad to see. Someone more senior with the right mind needs sort out the governance in BKA and bring back their winning ways.

    Frankly this whole situation stinks of filthy politics/politicians sticking their hand in where it doesn't belong.

    But those who want the complete story can simply click on the links. Do we really need to cut & paste copyrighted material for people to get the whole story?

    A bit unfair don't you think mate? Park Joo Bong has already publicly stated his major reasons for staying with the NBA.

    Of course of course. I don't deny that the current turmoil in BKA management is most certainly a likely contributing factor. But I'll still say that his openly given reasons probably hold the most weight in his decisions still.

    Come on, badminton fans. Do we really need all these national badminton body ? Look at MMA, there are no state sponsored fighters. And yet, they are getting more popular than many other sports. They are getting more successful without it being Olympic sports or Asian Games sport

    My exact sentiments. Very similar story. I suspect Team China maybe next.

    I think badminton is still not something well loved by the Western world. Once it has strong support there....definitely the sport will take off better.
    Humans mostly are attracted to either gore or sex. Like the early Roman time of man VS beast. Swim illustrated? Tennis beauty?
    Badminton kinda of lacks in all these areas. Visually is not as breath taking...but little ppl know this game is not easy. But from showmanship POV badminton scores low. Some westerners don't even consider it a sport:(
    Hope the big sport names with mega dollar can start coming in.
    If u wear lining or Yonex...not everyone will say ur sports wear is dame trendy. Some may even laugh at U. Though design has improved but still is not desirable.
    Imagine NIKE came on board....mega dollar and mega promo...bamb...the whole ball game may change. Adidas is trying but it's not taking off well. All these big name must have done their homework and know the ROI will not be fast and big enuff.
    Lining till date cannot give use even a decent racket chart. And the name Yonex and LiNing is not cool....so....

    I din manage to catch this scene on the live broadcast.

    Was it the players who bowed to their coach first?

    It's a very touching and emotional picture.

    Yes they bowed first. It should never be the other way round for something like this.
