I keep seeing him but can’t figure out his role in the memes. Is it random like the orb thing?

    That they even allow acuity correction is different from all other sports. For example my vision is very far from human perfect. 20/20 is average but some people have natural 20/10 vision. Similarly some people are naturally stronger than me but I wouldn’t be allowed to use a passive device (like an arm extension that would give mechanical advantage to throwing) to compensate for my natural average strength.

      Right, I mean what sport would use an arm extension for mechanical advantage like a cricket bat, a field hockey stick, a badminton racket, a ping pong paddle, a lacrosse stick, a vaulting pole, a tennis racket, a golf club, ski poles, ice hockey sticks, or curling brooms?

      If the equipment is available to all, it’s not creating an unfair advantage.

        Everyone has the same equipment in those games. That equipment is carefully regulated.

        Regulating how much a human can be enhanced isn’t a weird concept. Nike shoes and shark swimsuits were also banned. Here’s a science YouTuber that covers the issue and specifically mentions the glasses that shooters are allowed.
