I just read this news and discovered that Zack Snyder actually is a long time badminton enthusiast and actually playing badminton regularly: https://www.badzine.net/2019/12/filmmaker-zach-snyder-named-as-usa-badminton-ambassador/ This one below is an older news: https://www.bloomberg.com/features/2016-zack-snyder-profile/
yes man you are right, The U.S. governing body said in a press release that Zack Snyder is a long-time badminton enthusiast who has been working with them and with coach Alistair Casey, who coaches Rio Olympian Iris Wang.
