Athletics Need to be unpredictable and suprising so since robots are "perfect" they won't steal jobs with sports.

Athletes are competing in sports and people want to watch sports. Sports players should not be a job that will go extinct.

Watching robots compete against is just boring and no one would ever watch it i rather see a baseball player diving into outfield and making a great play then a robot sit there and raise their metal arm and catch it and how would that even work thats stupid if someone does that to sports
