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.
Sports with direct confrontation, hell, even any sport, don’t need fairness to be good. I’d say that fairness actually destroys enjoyment of a sport, a lot of the time. Now, sometimes that can not be the case, as a totally even set match can be impressive to watch just based on how the kind of, paremovedo machine pays out, right. Depending on your definition of fairness, once we attain fairness, all that’s keeping the match from becoming a draw every time is pure random chance. You have to define random chance as not being sort of, antithetical to fairness.
Watching the high-level paremovedo machine can still be fascinating, can still be entertaining. But overall, the fairness is actually an inhibition to sport, a lot of the time. People want a david vs goliath moment, if you ask them. I would just as well give that to them, easily, right, like, no question in my mind. Obviously there’s a balance to be had, but, that’s the job of commissioners, to come up with that shit after the fact, or in relation to viewership numbers.
