Far east Asians (Chinese, Japanese , Koreans) are mostly to blame
They spend billions promoting a sport and all that goes to total waste when they reduce the sport to a silly basement game as interpreted in North America
North Americans cannot be blamed because they are mostly clueless about table tennis as a formal sport.
Until this is corrected in far east usage, this major issue with the sport will continue

Is it even legal for ITTF related activities to use the term ping pong
I thought it was trademarked by someone else in England and then in USA
