[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!

    The funniest shit is that when comparing professional athletes with the average human, they are all “freakshows”. Pro athletes are far taller, or shorter, heavier or lighter. The hormone levels aren’t comparable either. Nothing about pro athletes is “normal”.

      But… that’s just how sorting by quality works.

      Pro e-sports players have insanely good time awareness. There’s a video of Faker (a famous League of Legends player) stopping a stopwatch at exactly 5 seconds. Because he’s the kind of guy who keeps track of his oponent’s skill cooldowns in his brain.

      I have no chances against a guy like that. You have no chances against a guy like that. Doesn’t mean we need to ban people for having amazing qualities or skills, does it?
