This is a cultural thing
Agree with what you have posted: "This is a cultural thing".
When 'match-fixing' in Badminton is carried out, I find it no longer interesting to follow (in terms of players performing their best in their matches).


I might as well stop following Badminton tournaments, and visit cinemas to watch some movies.

."And secondly, it's a team sport anyway. As long as it has those flawed rules and doesn't turn into a personal sport like tennis, these things will happen. People from other countries should not be too confident. If their teams have that postion their leaders will probably do it, while may not as frank as LYB to admit it. "
I do not agree. This is a cultural thing. I know in Europe this is not probable. Too much emphasis is made on individual accomplishment. Well, lets just take Denmark : they dominate bad in Europe, but we cannot see any of the European championship being fixed between Danes player, like between KJ and PG.
Anyway, whatever excuse we give, it is still cheating to fix a match.
