Badminton is the second most popular sport in the world (right behind soccer). However, badminton hasn't received the attention it deserves here in the United States, mainly due to the fact that many Americans are misinformed on this sport. Most American's still live in the days when badminton was a picnic sport. That was than, This is now! With the birdie flying over 200 mph, badminton is one of the fastest racquet sport in the world. Badminton player need fast reaction time, power, agility, accuracy and the ability to jump high. All these skills are needed in order to be good at this sport. Currently, United States only have 2 male and 3 female singles player ranked above 100. Rather ridiculous considering that United States is a power house in almost of the other sports.
