Welcome to the Enhanced Sports League.

Here at ESL, we promote the improvement of the Human condition through
the combination of Science and sports.

We now include enhanced versions of Football, American Football,
Rugby, Baseball, Basketball, Wrestling, Fencing, Golf, and Chess.

We encourage our athletes to take advantage of "performance enhancers"
of both the pharmaceutical and technological varieties.  We also
require that they have monthly physical exams, and attend
psychotherapy to ensure the safety and efficacy of the performance
enhancers that they use.

We have had some radical successes, such as Enhanced Baseball Star
Arlo Sosara who uses not only some of the latest in performance drugs,
but also has a surgically attached cybernetic exo-skeleton.  Mr. Sosa
regularly hits the ball up to three times farther than his MLB
counterparts.

Two years ago our American Football teams began using Augmented
Reality and Wearable computers.  Using Personal Area Networks in the
Huddle the Quarterback can now communicate her chosen Play
instantaneously to her teammates, and the wide reciever can see in his
headsup display the route he is to take.  We also have replaced the
old style bulky pads with a new lightweight ultra tough body armor.   
Both of these things are now being used by a number of law enforcement
and first responder agencies with great effect.

We here in the ESL are very serious about the safety of our athletes,
and require that they undergo constant medical supervision to insure
that they remain in the best of health both physically and mentally. 
As a result we have worked with several companies to develop always on
medical monitoring systems that are lightweight, comfortable and easy
to use.  The NIH has credited these new devices with saving thousands
of lives as people have been alerted to the very early signs of Heart
Attacks and Strokes.

Come on down to your next ESL sporting event and see what Humans can do.
