    I think we can safely say badminton is not very popular in America. Video is of American Olympics news readers talking about the disqualifications during the Olympics. This man is very confused.... https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3rH1uFap-0I

    Anytime they pronounce it as bad-mitten, we can safely assume they don't know the sport well...

    Haha he struggled to even saying bad-mitten, like he had never heard of it before. Funny how he thinks only ten people would watch badminton when 20% of the world watched Lin dan vs lcw final.

    On opening yet another video about sportscasters' ignorance of badminton , I was prepared to be upset, indignant, or at least exasperated.
    But that was just plain funny. :)

    Is this typical US sports broadcasting? Why are they shouting? I mean, is sports in US TV like a comedy show?
