A major difference between sports and performance art used to be the rigidity of rules.
Now sport is sliding in a direction that mimics art.
Not that those criticisms are new by any means.
Gymnastics, diving, synchronized swimming, figure skating, boxing are all examples of arbitrary definitions.
But I lament that we, as a society, are embracing chaos instead of celebrating order all the while still ranking human achievements.
