Again, just my opinion.


Judo. Boxing. Wrestling. Those are just a few I can think of that would be gone under your criterion. Not to mention that almost
all sport is subjectively judged to one degree or another. It may be clear when the puck goes in the net, but not so clear is the
penalty call that led to the power play that led to the goal.
