But in football a person from 1930 would not recognize the game anymore. Same is true for basketball. I don't know enough about hockey to know how the game might have changed over time.

I see your point but Isn't tennis the same game? But you surely don't think Bill Tilden could handle Roger Federer. The track and field events are the same, you run as fast you can or jump as far or as high as you can. Soccer is the same game, but nobody is going to confuse Dixie Dean with Lionel Messi. Swimming?
