Earlier quoted context omitted.

If my genetics aren’t as good as another athlete. I’m at a disadvantage. Why is this considered not just acceptable but even good? The genetically gifted person didn’t do anything to receive praise society gives out for said genetics.

Because having good genetics isn't enough to actually achieve anything, and there are a myriad of reasons someone with excellent genetics won't achieve as much as someone with lesser genetics.

Outside sports that are only about strength (if there are any), steroid usage isn’t enough to actually achieve anything in athletics. There are many reasons why two people taking some assortment of steroids will have one achieve much more than the other. Even when the achiever uses less steroids.

If a game can be easily played by a computer maybe it's time to start playing a more complicated game, worthy of your human brain

Name one game that a human is better at than a trained NN. Starcraft 2, chess, go, Dota 2, have all been shown that AI wins. If a game is digital, AI will win after sufficient modeling. I don't think any of that negates the merit of the games themselves for human play.
