For me, is clear who only think about money, and who are really care about badminton!
I think Indonesia should start demanding royalties from SBS. SBS has taken advantage of the Sudirman Cup popularity. Even Marcus and Kevin poster are also not spared from this stingy producer.
In America, film producers always pay royalties when useing names, pictures or anything related to the NBA, NFL or their athletes. We are aware, running a league it is not cheap! Moreover, the cost to defending a world cham titel!
RESPECT BADMINTON, RESPECT WORLD CHAM
