Seriously what is the deal with it? I remembered playing it in gym decades ago and everyone hated it. Now I see people lobbying for new freaking complexes for it. Let's see if the fad lasts more than a year before dedicating public land space to it
It’s been lasted more than a year. Its super easy for beginners and the gap between never played and mediocre player is pretty small in my experience. Groups of different ages/skill/athleticism can play the game relatively easy together. You can get drunk while playing and still be good. You don’t have to break a sweat if you don’t want to. Games are short.
I think it gets way too much flak and it is a little too overhyped rn. But it’s a top contender for the ideal casual game.
You're doing the cult thing.
lowk I am. Don’t knock it til you try it lol
It kinda looks like tennis for the unathletic, which means I should fit right in, but I have zero interest.
People should just play badminton... I remember that being pretty fun in gym class once everyone got decent enough for a few volleys (those rackets are tiny).
The best thing about badminton is saying the word "shuttlecock."
