re: What is the perfect sport?

To me a perfect sport is really something that an official has no control over the outcome. Give me a clock sport over a ref-controlled sport any day

My little brother was a world class athlete in a ref-driven sport, and countries would collude with refs to screw big time athletes out of direct elimination events. It would be like my team will drop this bout if your team will drop this one.

It made me very against those types of sports. So give me like the 400 meter run. Long enough to where the start won't kill you, but short enough it's over quickly
