They even had Kobyashi on the list.
Bodybuilding in no way is a sport. You stand on stage for judges.
then boxing isn't a sport
E
How do you figure that?
And sports center just proved it. They showed the top ten most dominant in their sports, and Ronnie/Dorian nor Arnold were mentioned. They even had Kobyashi on the list.
judges can decide the winner
E
Again, boxers possess all of the attributes of a REAL athlete........bodybuild ers do not!!
If bbing made the sports list then they would have to put Miss USA and HAwaiian Tropic Contests up as well.
No SKILL, Strategy or athletic ability required..... ALL APPEARANCE! ( and in the case of bbing... ALL DRUGS!!)

Just try taking the drugs without doing the work and you will quickly realize that you don't know what you are talking about.
I've done all these other "sports" and dominated all.. I still say bodybuilding is the hardest to dominate..
Won many Olympic Gold medals, Super Bowls, or world series? ::)
then boxing isn't a sporthahaha yea Boxing is one of the ultimate sports and describes it to a tee. Earl you forgot to put the smiley face after thsi remark to show us you are joking. You are joking right

Earl, I know a girl who followed a cutting diet, took var , followed a competition weight/cardio regimine similar to that of a Figure competitor....She placed 2nd in a state level Hawaiian Tropic show in Miami. Is she an athlete?
no because there was no physical exertion involved in the competition

God knows all that 90 seconds of flexing muscles is the hardest thing to do. Opps I just flexed my asshole. I am a bodybuilder yeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaa
no because there was no physical exertion involved in the competition

Bodybuilding in no way is a sport. You stand on stage for judges.
Annd umm what about the months of dieting and hours training? That doesnt count for anything? ::) ::) oh yeah i forgot you just stand in front of judges... Dumbass... ::)
Is it me or does it seem the guys that can never make it as a bodybuilder in this thread knock bodybuilding as a sport?

You have it backwards. Its the guy who never had success at team sports who fights so badly to be accepted as an athlete.
Who in their right mind would waste all the money on Drugs, travel costs , supps, tan oil, entry fees to "prove their worth" just to be called an "athlete"
*** BTW, Im not talking about little league or pee-wee, Im talking success at the collegiate lever or higher.

There was just as much physical exertion as there would be in a figure show... more actually as they must stand on stage longer.
reguarding bbing... so flexing your muscles for a few minutes makes you an athlete?
Whats really supports the "non sport" classification of BB is the fact that NO pros come on here to defend it by saying it is. They know it is a competition based on looks. Skill is not a factor at all. And if you saying posing is a skill, then why doesn't the guy who wins the Best Poser award always wins the show.
chick has defended it, he doesn't bother anymore because you guys are too stupid to understand ;D
posing is just one part of the show,nobody said what you look like doesn't matter
E
I find every sport I've done easy to be the best.. I don't need to get into how good I was or what sports, but trust me, bodybuilding is the hardest by far..
So is ESPN ;D
what is your point?
espn constantly mentions michelle wie, a female golfer who HAS NEVER WON ANYTHING
they never talk about sidney crosby, a 19 year old who IS THE BEST HOCKEY PLAYER IN THE WORLD
they talk about what gets ratings
E

They talk about said athletes because they are impressive! Why else would a national network give air time to someone?????
No one gives a rats ass about Ronnie or Jay. Except for "You guys"
what is your point?
espn constantly mentions michelle wie, a female teen golfer who HAS NEVER WON ANYTHING
they never talk about sidney crosby, a 19 year old who IS THE BEST HOCKEY PLAYER IN THE WORLD

Wow, only one. Then it must be a sport. And you do realize you are calling the majority of the population stupid cause they all feel the same way. Are you sure you aren't the stupid one. ;D
You do realize you just mentioned two people who compete in sports. Earl do you read what you type. Or do you just to practice typing no matter how dumb it sounds
you just don't get it ::)
people keep bringing up espn, ESPN TALKS ABOUT WHAT GETS RATINGS
how is Kobiiyashi more of an athlete than a bodybuilder, oh fat boys like yourself like to think that eating hot dogs are athletic competitions :D
E
EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is why the "espn doesn't mention it" argument doesn't work
they talk about whatever will get ratings
only internet forum geeks like you and me care about jay or ronnieE
Kobiiyashi is built like a natural BB with better abs than most pros and he eats like you do except he isn't a slob like you. You keep playing in Dreamland and then you can pretend BB is a sport and you are king. But in the real world you are outside looking in.
By the way here he is after he ate 53 hot dogs. Show me a pro that can do that and still have abs. And by your defintion he is an athlete since he works out. Earl to bad about your life, but one day it will get better. Only in your dreams but at least you have that.
haha no, I dont even know when the Olympia is and who the current champ is..... But Im sure you have his pics plastered all over your bedroom... see the diff?
hhahaha a guy that looks like jabba the hut is calling me a slob hahahaha :D
and no "genius" I never said working out was a sport, you're pulling that out of your fat ass ::)
competitive bodybuilding is a sport, not lifting weights in a gym
eating hot dogs and still having abs just means he is skinny, I wonder what jon daly's stomach looks like after eating that many hot dogs or maybe an nfl offensive lineman, great point again onlyme ::)
just remember, you are better than me because you met more celebrities than me ;)
E
Is it me or does it seem the guys that can never make it as a bodybuilder in this thread knock bodybuilding as a sport?
True, it does take dicipline to eat all those meals and do all that sleeping oh, and jumpping out of Birthday cakes at gay b-day parties is very demanding!
Still though , the EVENT itself ( the show) does not constitute one to bare the lable " Athlete"
So whats your "classification" of a sport? ::)
Pro bb is easy compared to the NFL and NHL.
Have you done both?
On the pro level , no. I played sports on the collegiate level. I have been "bb" for 11 years. I can tell you how much of a grind a season is on the collegiate level, never mind the pro level.. It is not even close. Explain to me what a pro bb does that compares to a typical NFL season. We will totally ignore the fact that football is a sport that takes actual athletic ability to partake in. You have to be an athletic freak to excel on the pro level in the mlb,nfl,nba or nhl. Not just a genetic freak. You need superior athleticism to 99 percent the population.
judges can decide the winner...and so do the judges in gymnastics. Ever tried that? Pretty fucking tough. Posing is not as hard as gymnastics but it's not exactly easy either. Now let there be no more talk of this, if golf is a sport then so is bodybuilding. More prize money doesn't always = greater athletic ability. Top golfers make way more money than top track and field athletes, are they better athletes?
E
I am a filmmaker, not an athlete. But I have made a couple of documentaries on BB and I have found what they go through mentally and physically to transform their bodies very grueling. However, I can't compare that to your experiences in collegiate sports. That sounds even more brutal! It seems like a behind-the-scenes, day-to-day documentary about making it in the NFL would be a great film! I'm surprised it hasn't yet been done...has it?
Problem is those guys don't have the time!
True, but it would be hard for a camera crew to be present when a athlete was studying game film and such. I cant imagine to many coaches allowing a camera man to follow a single player around.
It would be a great movie tho!
Mike: LOL, it's Stravinsky vs. Dave on Youtube for the name "Pulcinella."
