We discuss the ${\chi }_2$→2g hadronic decay width in light of recent measurements. The predicted charm hadronic width is roughly an order of magnitude too small, although predictions for b-quarkonium transitions are consistent with the available data. We discuss possible reasons for this discrepancy.
