Just wana share with you guys about an incident which happened lately. there were 4 uncles playing doubles in the court when uncle A rush forward to retrive a drop shot. The shuttle managed to cross over the other side but Uncle B on the other side accused A of hitting the net with his racket. A first response was "Lan J...!!!" This made B angry and blamed A for not having any sportsmanship. The quarrel went on then A rush to B and grap him and lift up his fist, showing that hes going to punch him. His fist stayed up in the air, keep moving but never landed on B. The rest of the uncles pulled them off but A still act tough and wanted to rush forward. All these while i was wearing my gears and watching them. Thought i could see a nice fight but then all was just a "paper tiger act" (act tough but no balls). Hmm....when will these uncles (40s-50s+) ever grow up. There was once it happened again and A was involved also. My friend shouted at him, "if you wana fight, get out of the court and wait for me outside. cause im playing game now. if you wana play, shut the Fxxx up and finish the game. Dont be like paper tiger, only know how toact tough but never fight." Unlce A just smile and walk off in an arrogant manner. Boy, some people just brings shame to the game! wonder how many people actually encountered something like this?
Well, I understand your point. However, do you really want to see a physical fight broke on in the gym?
obviously u can't tell the difference. In the above case, physical contact was made. "The quarrel went on then A rush to B and grap him and lift up his fist" throwing a racket at someone at least 25 feet away is not considered 'at him'
I know someone exactly like that off court (luckily he doesn't play badminton). Hes always acting hard but you would never see him in a actual fight. Just today he was annoying me by poking me and patting me hard on the back. I turn around and raise my fist in order to frighten him a bit and he backs away immediately, but as soon as i start to walk away he would act like he just won a fight with me. I always feel the need to "teach them a lesson" when people are like that, but i know i know i never would because if i did then i would be just as bad as they are or worse
I've rarely witnessed aggressive/threatening behaviour on court. I've only once received threats of physical violence. My approach is simple: if people behave like that, I never play with them again. Never.
