Obviously this won’t work for all sports, but things like football, track, soccer, it would allow for de-gendered team, even allowing athletes with the skills but not the genetically-endowed physical attributes to have a place to play.

Note: I know very little about sports and being on a sports team, so please point out anything that doesn’t make sense.

Hot take: Sports are not that important, and it's not the end of the world if someone in the other team is "physically better" than you.

Sports should be just played for fun and for making exercise, not as a profession. And the whole sports industry should be taken down all together. Make all sports amateur and just for the fun of it and suddenly it really doesn't mather who is on your team or in the other team.

    Man when I was hooked on online betting I made an immense wager on the outcome of a soccer game I wasn't even able to watch. It was Omsk vs Tomsk, and I think I won it despite knowing nothing about soccer. Of course I was deeply in the red once I stopped such irresponsible behaviour

    I think the harder question is how advertisers will convince underdeveloped schlubs that they call ball with Micheal Jordan if they just wear the right kind of shoes.

    You mean like Oscar Pistorius shoes? I think it would be really creative and extremely entertaining to watch. Better than this shit they're blasting out to a disengaged populace these days

    That I don't. But look up wages for the American football and basketball players and coaches.
