Only backgammon of every sport in the world?

There are many games 'where luck is more important than skill' in the short run; most games that employ randomness to any significant degree.

There are many intellectually and/or physically challenging games/sports where success in an single event/tournament is far from assured, but the cream, usually,rises to the top, given sufficient time.

In backgammon, due to the limited number of events that most people can attend in a given year, the long run is several years, that is why having a rating system that overvalues recent results is ludicrous.

Please list a few Giants or players with low PR's that have played a significant number of matches and have a losing record.
