Watching the Olympics

Why is badminton an Olympic sport? The whole point of badminton is that you can set it up in your backyard and a seven-year-old kid could play against an adult with no disadvantage.

Why are they playing this at the Olympics? Is the winner of badminton going to get the same gold medal as the swimmers and gymnasts? Isn't that like having a chess tournament and having some tables set aside for Candyland competitions?
