I’m coming around to the idea that being “early” or “first” is worthless. It’s a weakly held thesis but was validated today when I learned CANADIANS INVENTED BASICALLY ALL THE MAJOR SPORTS and then went on to lose supremacy in all of them except hockey https://www.cbc.ca/sportslongform/entry/how-canada-invented-american-football-baseball-basketball-and-hockey

Being early just means you get to watch everyone else show up late and win.

There’s still value in provenance even if you don’t end up being the best at whatever you were first to discover or invent. For example: reputation or intellectual property

Pickleball is the most obvious recent example in sports. Early players became pretty good against each other, but no one really took it seriously. As it gained popularity, it attracted more money & sponsorships, and better athletes. Then the tennis players showed up. And pretty well dominated the previous group.

🇨🇦 national sport is actually creating other sports, not lacrosse.
