New abilities we need new answers. Fair? What is fair? LIFE IS NOT FAIR.
One can say that "Life is Not Fair" ......Yet this topic shows the great interest in sports. And is sports fair?
........Sports are probably the FAIREST thing that a person can encounter on a regular basis in their life. Sports equalize for a short period of time, the Prince and the Pauper. The rich and the poor. The playing field is a GREAT equalizer. You can't just brag about your skills - you must show those skills - you must PRODUCE, NOT JUST TALK.
........SPORTS must be FAIR! Fans don't want to pay to see a fixed boxing match! There are written AND unwritten rules designed to keep an event FAIR.
