Isn't the point of pro sports to find and admire those incredibly genetically-gifted people? I think trying to inject some kind of pure meritocratic framework into it fundamentally misunderstands the point of sports. To me in a way it's like appreciating a beautiful landscape.

I agree! That's why I watch sports too. But the same arguments you're seeing about X privilege today will come into discussion once genetic editing is more advanced. Instead of rich parents paying for SAT prep, they'll be paying for brain power, height, etc.

Whether your parents paid for it you were born with it, you didn't earn it. We need to re assess why privilege is a bad thing or we need to get ready for an interesting future.
