This is another episode that Mike listed as one they would've like to do but didn't have time for. Link to the docs discussion.
The general idea right now seems to be that sports have some continuity to them, so even if the rules changes slightly they remain the same game. But given enough time (it's phrased 12,000 years in the future after all), could some rules we would never think to change get changed? I actually kind of see this in the same light as the ship which has all of it's parts replaced. If you build a ship with all the old parts which ship is the real ship?
Also looks like there's been a lot of research done to get relevant sources for this idea.

you mean this isn't entirely based on 17776?

Here’s a possible angle to approach this from: Sports has become increasingly objective. With cameras from every angle and even sensors inside goalposts and such to be able to review plays or know the exact location of the ball at any given time. The idea, I think, is that sport is a way to see who truly performs better, and the answer needs a precise answer free from human subjectivity. So maybe in the far future, they will have a truly subjective sport and let’s assume that this sport happens to be football. Now suppose there’s a shift in perspective and people now don’t care about the objectivity of sports and instead want to embrace subjectivity in the rules and play. So given a perfectly objective system, how would you introduce subjectivity into it? (And also, if games are done like this, does that make them an art form of sorts? Do we need artistic sport critics?)
