If it's not then sure, one open smack head category. I'm not sure what you are not getting here. Are you really saying that you don't think that sports that have a physical aspect to it - like most sports - shouldn't have it's competitors split in some way?

That disabled people shouldn't have their own divisions? Or people who are 140 pounds shouldn't have a split between people who are 240 pounds or more? That people with lower muscle mass, lower bone density, lower testosterone, smaller hands, smaller feet, less cardiovascular capability, smaller lungs (the list could go on) should have to compete with those with blatant, inherent advantages?

If there are no divisions or splits (sometimes between sexes) then all that will happen is that a small section of humankind will win everything. There would basically be no women's sports - yes maybe in the future we will have women playing snooker or whatever - but in reality, now - there would be no Paralympics, no weight classes in combat sports and in general (other than crown green bowling, that epic competition only available on pay per view) no women's sports. Heavyweights only in boxing, men only in athletics.

Without division based on natural advantage, for the vast majority of sports, men would utterly dominate. Which mean's girls would have no role models, which means there would be very few women even trying to compete. There is a reason why this was introduced and I know it's cool to wish for an equal world and think men are cunts but in this case the divisions were largely introduced to benefit women, not to keep them down.

Do you think that is a good idea? Maybe you can clarify your thinking.
