No CRISPR for Sports

I really never liked most of the "sports" that exist... autonomous robotics was the closest thing to a competitive sport I ever got into. Also I was on a swim team once when I was very young.

We should start a better sport, take iGem and perform gamification on it. It could span from "microbe battles" to more logically based games/goals (basically copy any of the autonomous robot competitions).

"GMO-only sports" sounds much more interesting.

Seriously, it is sad that people still watch "professional" sports... what a pointless waste of time. That stuff is never going to make the world a better place, at least not any time soon. We aren't fighting off bears and wolves anymore, so it really seems outdated and archaic. Maybe I'm just too big of a nerd to "get" it.
