I think you'll find I said "Pretty much everything else, aside from straight racing (in the pool or track) will always involve human judgment"

I don't think that judged sports aren't sports - that's a very narrow view to take. It's simply a different type of sport.

Darts, BTW, is another one that some want to see in the games - no judging involved, takes extreme skill, but no one wants to see darts in the games either.
