[in a well equipped sports room, a character rants] Someone has to say it… Some athletes have an advantage over others and it’s ruining sports!

[in a soccer field, a smug character points and replies] Damn right buddy, that’s why we should ban privileged kids from competitive sports: their wealth gives them access to better equipment, coaching, sparring partners, free time. it’s just unfair to the rest!

    Sure, but I would rather watch sports where everyone has disadvantages. Like a football team and each literal handicap adds to like a numerical handicap.

    So the some of the best football teams will have quarterbacks with one arm, kickers with one legg and running backs with a half of an arm.

    Imagine the betting… What are the odds that the mentally handicapped coach will have the one legged kicker go for a field goal at the 38 yard line?

      This is utter horseshit. You would watch that once for about 20 minutes.
