The audience shows that there's room for sports, which, you know, nobody disagrees with. There's not really an established alternative.
I myself would love to see sports separated into "pure" and "enhanced" sports. The former is pretty much what we have today, while the latter would be modified with as little regulation as possible. If it's a car race, something like "don't intentionally hurt other participants" and "your car should touch the floor" would certainly boost creativity.

The former is pretty much what we have today, while the latter would be modified with as little regulation as possible. We already tried that. Group B, for example. >> If it's a car race, something like "don't intentionally hurt other participants" and "your car should touch the floor" would certainly boost creativity. What it boosted was the risk taking by the drivers, also it motivated to put gas tanks right underneath the passengers so when they ended up in accident they most surely were dead.

The number of rules meant to slow the cars down is relatively small. Remember too that racing rules are not the product of some nanny state government trying to keep everyone safe. They come from associations made up of the people and organizations participating in the sport. They come from racers to regulate racers.
