BWF needs to change. Ever since the retirement of LD/LCW, badminton's popularity has been in decline.
Specifically, I think BWF needs to address the following:
(A) badminton needs a printed quarterly magazine published in English. Everyone wishes to have a permanent copy of their favourite tournaments in print. The magazine should at the very least include the following: (i) lots of photos; (ii) interviews with players, coaches, former players, BWF officials, etc; (iii) analyses of plays, (iv) review of shoes, rackets, strings, etc. Sponsors like Yonex, Mizuno, Victor, Li Ning etc need to pay for most if not all of the costs of publishing. Copies should be made available for purchase at BWF sanctioned tournaments. Your favourite players can autograph them. BWF is responsible for publishing the magazine, and sending them via post to institutional subscribers.
(B) BWF needs to invite young coaches and former players, particularly those from European countries such as Germany and France, to commentate on past or present tournaments on youtube for free in their native languages. This is the best way the promote our sport in those countries. PS: just a group of young athletes chatting among themselves would be a whole lot better than a 60 year old man or woman talking by him or herself. Please learn from Kpop, particulary how Kpop have used youtube, social media and the internet in general to promote themselves for free.
