This person undeservingly getting a spot on stage is not representative of the sport. But surely you wouldn't be commenting on the validity of a sport after seeing only one person do it because then you would be susceptible to being wildly misinformed

I wouldn't. Like many other sports, bboying (which I use because it a dumb AF moniker) is totally subjective for scoring, and as someone who has done a LOT of karate, gymnastics, and ballroom dance, it seems like all of those should have been included first.

it seems like all of those should have been included first.

Why?

[–] dream_weasel 2 points 3 weeks ago

First because they are older sports. Maybe that is the problem though because karate and ballroom both have 2+ established, competing governing bodies.

Second because at least for sparring, karate is formulaic: put fist or foot here, score point.
