A book I loathed in HS was "Red Badge of Courage".  I really hated it.  I reread it decades later and thought it was pretty great literature.

I picked up some of Heinlein's stuff lately and thought it was mostly garbage.
I love heinleins "the moon is a harsh mistress"  great concepts excellent story and love the political philosophy. TANSTAAFL

What if in the near future all judges were AI based so that all biases were removed and all scoring was done fairly? 
Bias can be programmed, right?

The discus throw is disc golf, minus the game.

I've totally quit watching any activity that involves complex judging, I just don't care.

It's akin to reading a review of a recent concert, it's someone's opinion, not mine.
Figure skating, gymnastics-- judged, not sports.

But being judged isn't the only criterion that exempts an activity from being a sport.

Billiards, bowling, poker-- also not sports.

College football wasn't a sport until 1998?  haha

Nope. At least as far as determining a national champion. 

Really wasn't until the 12-team CFP honestly, because that was the first time you had an [almost] objective way to gain entry--winning your conference (if you were P4, anyway).
