Once in elementary school I got in a fight with a kid a few years older than me and he just effortlessly threw me on the ground over and over again and I still had fun

Ok then can we ban Litten for being too good at mafia

why bother
there’s other sports and that leads to a level of cruelty

So if you cant have fun playing tag against the flash then thats your problem go play tag without the flash somewhere else

unless your conceit is that the flash is actually just genuinely really fast and not super-abled at all

but that becomes an entirely different question with an entirely different answer

if one bro has literal super speed thats a pretty good reason to be like ā€œnah u aint racing the rest of the kidsā€

he catches people within a second but all he’s really (imperically) doing is running super fast

In general I find it unsporting for people to go ā€œthis person’s too good at the game, we should ban themā€. Like, it’s not morally bad, they can go play games somewhere else, but that’s not sports anymore, that’s games. Sports is when you don’t ban the flash and games is when you ban the flash

like the point of the organized sport is to provide a reasonably level playing field

I guess my counter-argument is, ā€œWhat defines being super-abled?ā€

Yeah to be clear here I’m taking ā€œthe Flashā€ as a metaphor for just, like, somebody who is really really good at something, instead of literal magic
