I hate sports.
It is pointless and boring.

It's fairly obvious for sports based on human physical ability, like light athletics or boxing, because at the end of the day, the winner is defined by genetics and training programs that are more or less the same for everyone.
There is no place for creative problem solving here, only gay ass "fair competition". If you discover a drug that makes you two times stronger, you gonna be banned. You can't implant a gun in your hand to shoot your opponent, you gonna be banned (and put in jail).

Motorsports seems to be better in that regard at the first glance.
The whole point of it is a team of engineers inventing creative, mad devices, which is fun to watch.
Until you realize that every time some F1 team invents a new cool and smart feature that makes their car different from others, IT GETS BANNED.
After application of all FIA regulations, F1 cars are essentially the same car.

Honest and fair sports competition is inherently dead boring, and i hate it.

But i like cheating. Cheating and rule breaking is where all the interesting, creative solutions come into play.
The very nature of cheating and bypassing the rules demands two things:

a) do something illegal
b) somehow brainwash everybody else that you never did that!

You can't accomplish these tasks by just training harder; you have to think and come up with solutions that are novel and often really weird, and that is very interesting to follow.
