<p>Does anyone else LOVE badminton?
I know everyone thinks it's a real pansy sport but I still love it. I do think that it's somewhat of a joke especially in my school but it's still pretty hard to get really good at and it's a lot of fun!</p>
<p>Badminton is hella extreme. People who call it a pansy sport have obviously never played a real game of it before.</p>
<p>Represent!</p>
<p>I love badminton, but I still do think its a pansy sport. We make fun of the neighboring school that has a varsity team for it.</p>
<p>Badminton is such a let-us-be-different-from-tennis sport, I love it :)
and no its not for pansies, it is for the cultured (like fencing).. although i admit, there ARE quite a few of those in the sport. but they are anomalies</p>
<p>Dude.... badminton is not a pansy sport... I play, it takes a lot of energy. It's a hardcore sport. Last year our team's best player smashed on a girl and broke her glasses lol. and another time he smashed on another girl's eye, and forced them to forfeit. Badminton never gets a recognition it deserves.
Don't say crap about badminton until you actually see Pros play.</p>
<p>@88888888: I don't think it's a pansy sport--I just know that's general opinion. I play it too. That's pretty intense about the smashed glasses--that would never happen in my school since we all suck and our team is pretty much a joke.</p>
<p>i wish our school had a badminton team..there's a club but i can never go.
but like everyone said...it's definitely an intesnse sport..just watch olympic badminton or something you can barely see the birdie because it's so fast paced.</p>
<p>My friends started a club for it at our school, but it's pretty lax. I go sometimes, though, and it's fun.</p>
<p>haha. i took badminton as my p.e. sophomore year, it was incredibly easy and surprisingly pretty fun. there actually is a lot of running when you play and it can be pretty extreme if you get into it</p>
<p>i used to play quite a lot 4 or 5 years ago - by a lot i mean like every summer and weekend morning for 2 hrs</p>
<p>dude raquetballs the stuff forget badmitten. In raquetball you can knock the crap out of people with a ball and hit them with your racket (on accident). I gave someone a cut that ended in him getting a couple stitches...incidentally i got the shot off and won that point :-).</p>
<p>what exactly is raquetball?</p>
<p>i freaking love badmitton</p>
<p>: )</p>
<p>Badminton is fun, well not really when you're playing a bunch of people who suck at it.</p>
<p>Our school doesn't have a boys' badminton team. If it did, I'd actually got off my fat-@$$ and join a sport.</p>
<p>I actually started a badminton club at my school and we were pretty chillax about the whole thing...but I played in a club with hardcore people on the weekends too, and that was superb :D</p>
<p>This is so awesome, usually people roll their eyes at me when I talk about badminton!</p>
<p>People do that all the time to me too!!! (like my parents) lol</p>
<p>sunshine raquetball is a sport where youre in a room with 2-4 people and you hit a little rubber ball against a wall. there are some lines that you have to follow as far as the serve goes and you cant let the ball hit the ground more than once. basically run around this room and you can hit the ball off of any wall you want as long as it hits the back wall to return a shot. its really fun and fast paced if youre playing hard. it takes a lot of stress off because you can kill the ball and its a good workout. i definitely recommend raquetball to anyone who likes competition and getting a good workout while having a bad ace time trying to destroy a little rubber ball. haha...actually theres a lot of finesse involved too its not all about power. sometimes you hit short shots to throw off your opponent and get the point.</p>
