CMV: Sports should never be decided by subjective Judges
Most sports are relatively objective. In soccer, the team with the most goals wins, same in hockey, basketball, etc.. The fastest runner wins the marathon, the most accurate shooter wins bow&arrow. You get the idea. Yes, there might still be refs that make wrong decisions along the way that influence the outcome, but the general score doesn’t depend on a panel of judges.
However, one thing that irks me are sports that get decided by judges. Here are a few examples:
1.) Ski Jumping: Besides general length of the jump, they get points based on how "nice" the jump looked. Yes, there is a panel and yes they delete the highest and lowest rating, but ultimately a good component of the overall score is based on the subjective score of these judges. It can happen that someone jumped further but ultimately looses to someone who jumped shorter.
2.) Figure skating: Yes, overall there are certain elements are more objective, but again, the final score comes down to subjective opinions.
You get the idea, but there are many more examples, like diving, boxing, some disciplines of snowboarding, surfing, etc.
We already have a name for these things, they are called art. There is nothing wrong with

I get the idea, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s where the disagreement starts
this feels rushed rather than thought through and that’s what people are responding to That’s what makes this interesting. That’s just my read on it.
From the outside, this feels more about execution than intent That’s the key detail here. Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.
If you zoom out, this depends heavily on what happens next That’s the key detail here.
Stepping back, the main issue seems to be how this is handled and that’s what people are responding to
Bluntly speaking, the wording alone shifts how people read this and that’s where it gets complicated That’s the key detail here. This probably isn’t the last word on it.
At this point, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified which is why the comments look the way they do
the signal is clear, the strategy less so This probably isn’t the last word on it.
the timing matters more than people admit which turns this into more of a debate That’s the key detail here. Time will tell. That’s just my read on it.
Stepping back, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s the part people are stuck on Not convinced this is settled yet. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
From where I sit, this feels more about execution than intent which makes the reaction pretty predictable Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.
this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that tension shows up immediately At least from my perspective.

Not gonna lie, this solves one problem while creating another This could age very differently in a week. That’s just my read on it.
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone That’s what makes this interesting.
this reads stronger on paper than in practice and that’s where people will push back This probably isn’t the last word on it. Others will probably see it differently.
the direction makes sense but the details are messy
Honestly, this solves one problem while creating another and that’s where people will push back That part stands out. Let’s see what happens next. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Looking at this, the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here which turns this into more of a debate Let’s see what happens next. That’s just my read on it.
At first glance, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified and that friction is hard to ignore Curious how this plays out. Others will probably see it differently.
