Dont feed us the crap outlook. Badminton was at one time dominated by US, Canada. Badminton is growing at a good pace in america. The dam will burst whether tv executives like it or not.

I watch live webstreaming internation badminton tournaments all the time with less resolution, i have no problem following the shuttlecock. I also downloaded many many international matches as well. Once the mental block of the tv executive get clear up, badminton on tv is game.

"I really hope that badminton can become the mega sport that tennis is in North America."

No way. It will always be assimilated to Asian and Indian Americans by the White folks.

The other problem is it is too fast for TV. So big network will never broadcast.

Hey Emily, I get to be the first one to comment on your youTube video; excellent tv journalism! I really hope that badminton can become the mega sport that tennis is in North America. Your work here is certainly a step in the right direction for this sport. I will be asking for your autograph one day. Chris A.
