Can technology make sports more equal, or does it only widen the gap between competitors?

Talent or technology?

I think that tech shouldn’t be used as it gives people a unfair disadvantage. Therefore making there a greater chance for the richer teams to win. It’s like arsenal playing against Margate, arsenal would have the advantage as they get paid more so they can buy sports technology.

Someone who disagrees with me might think that it is there own money so they can spend it on what they want.however I strongly disagree as sports should be based on skill as they have worked hard to earn that skill and they don’t work hard to get sport technology.

An expert once said that “when working hard to earn skill your trying not giving up you earnt that skill however if you just spend money on sport technology then you deserve the win or higher chance for a win.

If you use tech than it shouldn’t be unfair technology like basketball shoes but its good to use technology like VAR With big games such as the olympics and the paralympics
