I wasn't sure which thread deserved to get this post, but this is one of the oddest things I've heard for a while...

To summarise, "Ian Rush has put his name to a 90-minute, score-settling, AI musical in the style of Hamilton about his legal battle against a Surrey scaffolding company and a small Wigan law firm, in so doing attacking, among others, Robbie Fowler and Jamie Carragher."

You would be very wise to chuck that in the bin.
...or talkback, as some call it.
-
I listened to way too much of that.
On another note, I'm really impressed AI can produce that.

Chicago: manning the barricades...

It's ok. None of us can really believe that Norm was 34 in Cheers, nor that Frasier was 27.

This is actually quite an interesting idea.

I'm intrigued to see where this goes. Current PED usage shorterns lives, just look at body building. How far will people be prepared to go if this takes off?

Yeah, nah

My main take away from that was that Wonder Woman was well ahead of the curve way back in th day with employing a dedicated 'Super Suit' just for swimming.

It's hardly a new one. What do you find interesting about it? What level of dire consequences are you happy to put up with being forced on pressurised 'athletes'. What do you feel about the impact of increased exposure and celebration of that, in terms of the messages sent to impressionable people. Whats your feelings about reducing sport down to the best surgical/pharmacological team, in the same way that F1 is largely about the best car? We know that elite level sport performance requires many years of training to achieve....are you happy big business jacking up our kids in the hope that some of them might pyramid themselves to the top of the elite dirty athlete hill?
I think it's vile, anti-people, anti-ethical, anti-sport integrity, and not at all healthily interesting, so I'm curious in what about turning human beings into bio-chemical test platforms for money, appeals to you.

Monkey tennis?

This. It’s been talked about for decades, it’s hardly new.
It would essentially be a freak circus. Ideal for Vegas, I suspect. -
On the voting thing, I'm still Labour. They're sort of doing sensible things badly with shit PR. A period of sensible was what I was looking for even if it is a bit beige. Seems like the economy is picking up from where I look which may give them the runway to get a bit more ambitious.
And now look, immigration is cut massively so lazy white cunts need to work for their Brexit bonus. -
Improvements in sport are by tiny increments. It has taken us over a decade to get from a 2:02 marathon to a 1:59 and that still hasn't been achieved in true race conditions.
I'm fascinated to see what the human body can do if we remove the shackles of arbitrarily banned enhancements. I don't see a huge gap between creatine and test or HGH - they're all naturally occurring substances, we just ban some and not others.
Obviously this doesn't replace the unimpeachably ethical IOC and their rules, it's a completely separate body. But if athletes are willing to enter it and enjoy its rewards, I'm interested to see what they can achieve.

I am completely uninterested in what humans can do with pharmacological or machine assistance.
I am interested in what humans can actually learn to do with refinements to techniques, training, diet and routine.
YMMV.
