I posted this in the Rio Olympics thread in response to a query about this article. But then I thought, perhaps this merits its own thread. What do you guys think about this issue getting this kind of exposure in a news source like the New York Times?
The New York Times article has various interviews with players about the plastic ball problems in Rio including Gionis Panagioitis, Timo Boll and Li Ping.
Li Ping who quotes, "I think this ball is very bad,”
Timo Boll quotes, “I think many players are complaining because we have better balls, there are better balls on the market”
Panagiotis Gionis quotes, "This is not good; this is unprofessional,”
The article finished with Timo Boll expressing, “I’m sure they want to produce now a better ball because they’re getting a lot of criticism,” Boll said. “It would have been nice if it was before the Olympic Games.”.
