you mean that event that was based (with historical significance) on the idea of individual excellence and not on pretending to be a sport? why would we have to end that?

Corporate greed and abuse of local labor pools, mostly.

Also I want to like pro bowling but it's the same small group of people at the top for years and it's bs that you have to pay to practice. Look at how many of the top players lived next to an alley or their parents owned one.

according to the loose definition basically anything is a sport. i think its fair to not have everything a sport
if there is a game with multiple rounds of play or points to win, with the teams (1 or more players) always involved in both offense and defense depending on which currently has the means to score, and the role of offense can be claimed by the defensive team through skillful play... it is a sport
baseball bowling golf: no
rugby soccer tennis air hockey: yes

It just has to have a single circular cross-section - it's in and that covers american football and rugby as well. Why do you think fencing foils have that round part near your hand?

robot fighting will be about 2 sentient robot slaves crying while fighting to the death. it will be americas favorite pastime from 2068-2141 during which time it will be decried as a sentience rights violation by the eurozone and space-china

no balls in boxing, mma, k1 et al. Not sports, don’t see why robot fighting would be any different.

Nah I wanna see a dude fight that long neck robot, you know the one. Just giving it the elbow of the people, to the neck!!! All while it's chomping at him with razor sharp teeth and talons.

This'll be the new gladiator sports and population control.

Is that the sound you make when you release? Just screaming "I'm mary Poppins bitch" with every throw?
