In a new video with Noah Coslov and CineSport, we break down the Olympic badminton scandal. Yes, that's right; we are talking about badminton! Because, if there is one thing the Olympics have taught us, it's that you can pretty much throw the word "normal" right out the window.

On one hand, it was patriotic for China to want its two women's teams to play each other in the final. But, is doing so at this cost really worth it?
