I fear you may be correct on the staying power of the “enhanced games” much to the long term detriment of sports. Certainly in the U.S. there seems to be a near total erosion of societal norms and a disdain for rules while blatant corruption gets a “meh” from much of the public. Much as comic book fantasy has come to dominate movies, how long before sports as just “entertainment” makes doping the equivalent of special effects.
On another note I just watched the Unbound livestream and thought it was really well done. Having the unfortunately sidelined Payson Mcelveen on the commentary added a lot to break up any potential monotony. Chapeau Lifetime!
