China Admits To Fixing Matches

i ask this:
- shouldn't pitch hitting in baseball unethical too if same standard is ask from china?
- shouldn't substitution in basketball, volleyball, hockey, soccer, etc be unethical too?

why strategizing players within the same team is allowed in other sports but it's damnation for badminton? WHy exception is allowed for thomas/uber cup where each team wanted certain player to go against other certain player?

 

Badminton - honourable sport.
Isnt that sound good?

 

if it is by honor system, we won't need umpire, line judges, no need of prizes as winners should be happy to have their photos in the newspaper

 

We'll try the best to keep badminton as the most 'honourable' sport in worldwide.

Our shutllers arent as bad as footballers.
Got what i mean?

 

It used to be more honorable when played in the backyard without the need of linesmen

 

let start the honorabler sport image by not having KKK/tbh trotting around the country as puppets for MAL politicians

 

Why do you think MAS do not fix matches when they have so many opportunities?

 

- because BAM doenst have an unified goal or objective
- BAM want to beat klrc and vice versa

 

a truth that hurts.

 

We have once produce a young champions without objective.
Sound plausible to u?

 

I agree with you. The BC discussion of badminton here should have nothing to do with China hosting OG 08. It was the job for International Olympic Committee and politicians. I hope the discussion will not go down the slippery-slope of politics.

 

Once again

Umm...been away from badminton for over a decade. I don't know enough to give you shear speculation. Nor am I interested in speculation. I will read speculation when I want to get a good laugh or chuckle. I am not aware of any official facts either. I am afraid, you will have to take this to someone who can twist a mere speculation into facts or someone who can speak intelligently about badminton.

 

as i have said b4, all the positioning now by lyb so he wouldnt need to do in the OG

 

I see. I see. I can never figure out their game plan. Interesting, I must say.

 

Well said. Point taken.

 

i agree that the match fixing may have been done in the interest of the country. i agree that some fans feels put off by the match fixing. i also agree that if that match fixing is not connected to gambling, it really have no obvious illegal issue. but i dont want to comment on this. each country to it's own, on how they would like to approach any sport.

however, i feel for the players. that is all i have to say. to not have the chance to go all out everytime must be hard for them. to throw away a game you think you can win is not good for the heart. you worked so hard and yet you are told to not try so hard to win. and more so when people who heard about the match fixing, thinks that you won not on merit but merely on strategy. no satisfaction for a sportsman/woman. i simply hope every athlete that worked hard to achieve their dream, get to give their best all the time.

 

You never mentioned MAS, but that did not stop someone from putting words in your mouth and making a sure statement by pretending to ask a question

You got the right attitude not be sucked into the things you don't even know or care about

 

Sorry, but it's not that simple. The very act of match fixing is political in nature. By engaging in match fixing China is injecting politics into sport. As individauls we are judged by our actions so too with nations.

 

Discussing politics is a sure way to get a thread closed fast

 

If the match between CJ and LD is fixed, it is hard to say that is to the interest of CJ.

I believe, if possible, they want BCL and CJ so badly in the OG to clear the path to Champ for LD!
