Good Sports Day

I hardly can even watch her doing this. Ugh. But watching the guys attempts hurts even more.

Coco Gauff won. France had to root for either an American or Russian. They both seem friendly enough.

Coco is probably my favorite professional athlete.

No line judges at wimbledon this year. AI, instead. McEnroe must be jealous.

Most of the American women were awful in the first round of Wimbledon. The US men aren’t too bad. Probably best men’s team in 20 years lol.

An American woman in the finals at Wimbledon.

Djokovic got crushed in the semifinals. He is clearly the 3rd best player left in the world.

Men’s tennis is probably the most boring it has ever been. Sinner and Alcaraz are so far superior to anyone else. Nobody else really has a chance.

And they are so uncharismatic that nobody has heard of them.

They play as well as anyone ever has. Alcaraz has some charisma, but not a ton. The tennis is amazing. The tournament is boring. Nobody else has a chance.

They have won the last 8 grand slams. Nadal was a bore too, but federer and djokovic saved it.

I think one of Wimbledon’s problems was they used AI as a judge, so there were no awful calls. MLB might do that. The best part about baseball is horrible umpiring and people flipping out.

This is an interesting point, one that I have spent hundreds of hours thinking about. AI is near perfect. We are not. As AI pervades every aspect of our life, we become more perfect and less human. At some point, we will almost certainly become entirely inhuman. We will have no more in common with humans of 2025 than humans of 2025 have with the amoebas we spawned from. I’ll take it. It’s better than what we currently have.

If we had AI in baseball, that horrible umpire wouldn’t have fingered the manager. That was the best part of the game.

I don’t care about this at all but it does surprise me a bit. Canadian fĂștbol is where famous European players go to die. At least he’s not going to Saudi Arabia like that prostitute Ronaldo.

I didn’t even know there was a Canadian football league.

There is the CFL (American football but slow and a lot less money involved) and there’s MLS (European football but slow and a lot less money involved).

The US OPEN is always more fun than Wimbledon. New Yorkers won’t shut up during the matches. Racist players have to deal with too many minorities. There’s drama, even though there are no line judges.

I don’t enjoy tennis and I don’t watch it or follow it but I enjoyed Naomi Osaka’s outfit. lol.
