Badminton New Zealand adopted the name a year ago as "a gimmicky label to attract sponsors and fans". It worked to a degree, because the organisation was quickly innundated with cash offers from companies such as - you guessed it - condom manufacturers.

Wonder if that'd work nowadays 🤣

Ah yes, the sticky "we'd rather not entertain Black Cocks in the People's Republic of China" problem.

21 years later and this didn't change at all

I think if they had gone for black cunts, they might have had a chance.

The thing you hit in badminton is called a shuttlecock. They got their name from that.

All Cocks. "No balls!"

Hmm.
