........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.

Well, sports are sort of fair, there is definitely a home team advantage. There are definitely officials that make "bad" calls which one side benefits from and the other doesn't. Etc.
Chess is "fairer" since there is a defined set of rules both play by, and no one making judgment calls. Should we ban trans from Chess?
