I would argue that a lot of sports, partly based on the structure of rules and partly inherent to the sport itself, are biased toward some kind of body type -- assuming we're talking about elite competition, which is the context of the article. And while some rules (such as those governing the size of a basketball or the height of a volleyball net) could be adjusted to include some groups, other groups will be likewise disadvantaged. I would also argue that notwithstanding your values, there are probably different optimums to achieve between the peak pro level and the community and youth level, but unfortunately people worship pros so much that at some point they would likely feel insulted if they had to continue with metaphorically shorter basketball hoops.
