When robots become better than humans at sports. Humans even african americans will be rendered obsolete in sports.
can you imagine the sight of a 600 pound robot dunking a ball at speed of sound???
Human sports will seem like a ing joke
Pretty hilarious (if silly) article on sbnation here.
A few weeks ago, I asked y'all a question: How will the NBA end?
In order to respond, I requested that you also write me a poem about the eventual fate of the NBA. Over 600 of you were kind enough to weigh in. There was no consensus, really, but the most popular answer was, "it will end with societal collapse."
It's a morbid, unhappy question, which doesn't mean it isn't also an interesting exercise. It's very easy for me to imagine the NBA going strong in 2050, 2070, 2100. It feels like it should run well past that, but it also feels silly to declare, with any real degree of confidence, that the NBA will be played -- with a rubber ball, blocking fouls, 10-feet rims, and a floor that isn't made out of trampolines -- in, say, the year 2914.
Human civilization has been evolving at a breakneck pace over the last 200 years, and the pace figures only to get quicker in the coming decades and centuries. The events of
Star Trek: The Next Generation take place in the 2360s. Basketball is never mentioned, and sports in their present form are completely absent. When they dig a man from the 1990s out of cryogenic stasis and bring him aboard, he asks if he can watch an Atlanta Braves game. Nobody seems to know what he's talking about.
It's hard to imagine when the last NBA season would be, or why there would be a last season, and it we know with virtual certainty that the NBA will not last beyond the destruction of the Earth, the death of our Sun, and the likely eventual heat death of the universe. We have limited tools at our disposal to simulate what, exactly, this end could look like.

You just love to do that!
I dont think the NBA will ever end. People always want to see other people do stuff that they cant do.
The rules will change depending on how humans evolve.
I'd love to see robot sports in the vein of Base Wars on NES and some Mutant League type sports. It's coming in like 100 years, book it.
Yeah. If only we could build a machine that was faster than Usain Bolt in the 100m dash, it would completely doom the Olympics.
The full article was cool. I often go in the early to mid 2020s in my associations in 2k.
I stopped reading after Vince Carter gets 1st ballot and Manu doesn't, and the 9 and 72 record....
Actually it was very well done. The ending video was hilarious, the Clipper floor panning up to see the Lakers banners.
NBA connive with certain players (you know who) to use steroids to grow muscles as well as them big jaw bones, and there will come a time when CA technology will be allowed to use and you will see 3 captain americas gathering up on one team bullying s for fun.
But don't blame the league. The league do all these to cater for the fans because most fans love to see monkeyball rather than real basketball that's based on tactics and teamwork.
