Our hyper fixation on sports, taking them deathly serious and giving them million dollar performance stakes is the problem.
They are games. Games should be fun and inclusive.
Also, sports have always been "unfair", not only because of differences in access to training but also because of "genetic anomalies". Back before Martin Luther King Jr., a lot of Americans would argue that Black athletes shouldn't compete among white athletes because of an "unfair advantage".
Michael Phelps comes to mind.
