Not Chess
"Chess is not a sport you double chin, greasy fingered, moron"
Nowadays, with people who focus on just breaking records or mindless stats, the focus on why people came up with sports in the first place is lost. A group of kids with no pads and no formal rules getting together to play sports in a neighborhood is less likely to end up with any serious injuries than in pro sports, especially when kids know they're going to see each other again on a regular basis, in case the kid with the chip on his/her shoulder is thinking about breaking some bones and taking another kid out for an extended time, or in case another kid is thinking about hiding out for an extended time over an overextended ankle or sore thumb.
People who want people to focus on mindless stats or broken records are missing the point of why there are sports in the first place. Superheroes don't exist, so the point of sports is not to become one.
Something animals dont whine about, because animals dont have sports.
Female animals dont whine about how sports are unfair toward one sex or the other, since animals dont have or need sports. Animals dont do anything for sport, humans do. They also dont whine about not getting paid as much as they think they deserve, or as much as male animals, since animals dont have or need money, and don't do anything for the money, humans do. There is no more morally qualified or righteous human sex, they're both corrupted in comparison to animals. Animals really do appreciate simply being alive.
