  So lately I have tried picking up badminton. 
  
  Some things I noticed:
  -Gyms and other recreation centers don't consider badminton a sport.  Heck, they list wheelchair basketball before badminton (no offense).
  -Old people are hella crazy in badminton
  -Badminton can make your legs, back and arms sore
  -Badminton rackets need to be much larger...that wway I can never miss the birdie.
  -Why is the birdie called a birdie?
  -Badminton people will drive hours to find a gym to play
  -No matter how hard I swing my arm, the birdie won't go so far :( 
  
  
  -Some badminton places have vending machines that sell 1 birdie for $1.25.  Madness.
  
  After playing a few times, I've come to admit, and I will only admit here, that badminton is a sport.  I'm sore and in pain >.<
  
  
  Here's a few photos:
  What I want to be!
