Why is everyone defending badminton as a sport from the non existent haters in this comment section?

Every badminton player knows a good game can only exist when you're just about to pass out due to lack of oxygen.

The thing about badminton is it looks easy and slow watching it. But when your o the court it's damn hard. I've always loved playing it but stopped playing in my late teen. Recently I've started playing again with work friends, now in my mid 30s, it's just a joy of a sport and great for health. I feel amazing.

What Gareth bale is really doing when he’s injured

I'm not sure what impressed me more: That extreme long rally or that Jørgensen knows right away that the ball is out at the end. I mean that was like one centimeter out or so.

People saying it is an easy sport probably play it in the backyard with their family. Or maybe not. Anyone who plays at least a little bit competitively or seriously, as in, follow the rules and laws, playing in an indoor badminton court with a proper good racket and good shuttle will know that it is a tough sport. Especially when you play with someone equally as good or better than you.
