The World Taekwondo Federation (WTF) has changed its name to World Taekwondo because of the "negative connotations" associated with its initials. The organisation had used the previous name since it was established in 1973. However, it felt in the "digital age" the slang of the old abbreviation was "unrelated to our organisation and so it was important that we rebranded to better engage with our fans". The change was made before the start of the 2017 World Taekwondo Championships. The event is taking place in Muju, South Korea. "World Taekwondo is distinctive and simple to understand and reinforces the global nature of our sport," said World Taekwondo president Choue Chung-won. "Our vision is taekwondo for all and as World Taekwondo we are confident we can build on our success to date and achieve that vision." http://www.bbc.com/sport/taekwondo/40391326 NRA Life Member - "Fear God and Dreadnaught" | ||

How long has "wtf" meant what we all know it as? They're just now adapting to it? "I'm yet another resource-consuming kid in an overpopulated planet raised to an alarming extent by Hollywood and Madison Avenue, poised with my cynical and alienated peers to take over the world when you're old and weak!" - Calvin, "Calvin & Hobbes" | |||

WTF is up with that?  Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark. “If in winning a race, you lose the respect of your fellow competitors, then you have won nothing” - Paul Elvstrom "The Great Dane" 1928 - 2016 | |||
