    Would it be nice if we could somehow remove genetic physical disadvantage in sports?

     

    I'd certainly be a lot happier knowing that the guy who beat me in my last race just trained harder / wanted it more.

     

    Then of course, maybe being able to "want it more" is itself a genetic advantage.

      Wouldn't that mean removing genetic physical advantages also? That would be awful and boring. A world without Usain Bolt or Calvin Johnson or Clayton Kershaw etc. is no world I'd want to live in.

        That isn't necessary.  But then in the resulting system every sprinter would have the same physical advantages as Usain Bolt.  You would probably never realize it, though -- since it would be the new  norm.

            Many of us aren't sure what the hell point you are trying to make and no matter how we guess, it always seems to be something else. Which usually means a person is doing it on purpose.

              Technically it's an 11-year-old thread that was last necro'd 8 years ago.

               

              Fun trip down memory lane though. Damn, I've wasted a lot of time on this dumb website.
