Basketball fans... why aren't there height classes in the game like there are weight classes in boxing? Would the games be less interesting if shorter people played it? I genuinely don't know.

I wonder that all the time. For example, basketball needs a 5'6" -5'11" class just like weightlifting is categorized by weight ranges. It is such a shame that you have to clear a threshold to want to play basketball.

this is a really interesting point. all the weight-class sports seem to be either about violence (boxing, judo, MMA etc) or feats of strength like weightlifting. maybe an underlying norm of only hitting people your own size?
