Funny you should use that example. My general thoughts are that soccer will be one of the last sports standing because of its relative immunity to drugging or genetic screening to breed the best players. Along with curling.
First to fall will be the brute strength stuff like weight-lifting, where the right genes make the difference. Team sports will be further down because you can’t just isolate a handful of traits that make it work.
But either way, over the next few decades, we are going to see some interesting competitors coming out of China.
