    I don't understand how changing the name and logo will attract youngsters to participate in / watch track and field.

    Rebranding is what sad, useless fuckers do to show their "innovative dynamism" when they have nothing even slightly useful to contribute. For those with a brain, this strongly flags the rapidly approaching death knell of the sport.

    As an organisation, it makes sense for the IAAF to give itself a snappier, more straightforward name. For the sport overall, it makes very little difference.

    Acronyms are snappy. Every major sports organization I can think of offhand is known by its acronym. And acronyms lend themselves to efficient computer searches for pertinent information.

    WAF I wouldn't have had a problem with.

    Maybe they hope it will be confused with World Cup soccer.

    So true. The head of the new organization can now be called the Supreme Head of International Track. :-)
