Hunting is not a sport either.  I don't how much of a sport it is when you can hide in trees and shoot an unsuspecting animal from almost a mile away. Want to make hunting a sport.  Hide in a tree and when the bear walks by, jump on his back and kick his ass and then kill him with your bare hands.

LOL what are you hunting with a .50 cal. most ppl cant shoot a tight group at 100yds never the less 150 or 200...ever try bow hunting??? your about 20 yds aways, any more and the deer will hear the arrow release and run and you will miss...LOL doesnt sound like youve been hunting and if you have it was probably a nice plush lease, hunting can be extremely hard.

I have done that, it was a Kodiak bear, about 1,500#, jumped right up on his big furry back........tough little bear, but in the end I was the one left standing, and that Kodiak wished he had never run into JV.

Try driving a car going to 200+ MPH for 500 miles with it being 150 degrees in the cockpit. Not only does it take mental conditioning it takes an enormous amount of physical conditioning as well.

Recently, I overheard a current IFBB pro refer to himself as a "professional athlete". He was being praised for always keeping a calm demeanor and a smile on his face. He said..."I am a professional athlete and I cannot allow things to bother me. I have problems like everyone, but I can't get stressed out and allow it to affect my body."
It actually caught me a little off guard and I did'nt know what to think. I still don't know what to think. I grew up playing all sports, even college and minor league baseball. I'm a little old school...basketball, football, baseball, etc are sports and it requires "athletes" to play them...however, I can understand folks who say things like golf are sports. I mean, it does take a certain athletic movement to swing the club and the use of hand-eye coordination...Bodybuild ing, ummm I'm not quite sold on that being a sport that requires athletes to perform in it. Jesus christ, how many needles can these guys stick in their bodies? I actually find steroid use a little pathetic :-\

Well, my target in the post was hunting.

I am ambivalent as to the sportingness that is bb.

The training definitely takes athleticism.

Many, many lift, many, many suck at lifting.

Some are than, less 'athletic' at it than others, perhaps

  I have so much respect for bodybuilders.  Bodybuilding is expensive and difficult.  I also think it involves talent because it's all about figuring out how to maximize your best features but also bring up your bad parts.  The diet has to be right.  The conditioning has to be planned right.  Even the drugs need to be done right or you end up like (kamali).  I think its the most unique, riskful, but rewarding sport there is known to man.

ESPN is just entertainment for drunks and people with low IQ's. Have you ever sat thru one of their shows in the past 3 to 4 years? It's just awful. They try too hard....half the time the anchors are making stupid jokes that aren't funny. Some are just obnoxious (like that black dude with the lazy eye).

I couldn't care less what ESPN thinks is a sport. Shit, they televise the fucking Spelling Bee for chrissake! Fuck, even Poker, something drunks do to pass the time..... ::)

Hi Earl. Nice gimmick.

That definition is out dated. If we went by the definition you (Earl) throw out there, fucking, shitting and spitting would be sport as well.

I'm not Earl, I don't even know who that is so shut your cock holster!

 The young Masai warriors face lions with just a spear-compare that with a coward lurking in the bush with a gun shooting an animal a mile off. The animal has no chance of retaliation in most cases and won't even see its killer. Brave..real brave.  ::)

In Japan a Karate practioner (his name escapes me ) faced a wild charging boar with his bare hands and killed it. He did get an nice long scar from the boars tusks as a souvenir. He later went on to create his own form of Karate. That took guts when he could just as easily have been maimed or killed. 

You wanna be a badass hunter? Go hunt terrorists in Afghan/Iraq. Do the world a favor instead of killing animals who pose no threat to you.

 I have so much respect for bodybuilders.  PRO-Bodybuilding is expensive and ridiculous.  I also think it involves talent because it's all about figuring out how to maximize your best features but also bring up your bad parts.  The diet has to be right.  The conditioning has to be planned right.  Most of all the drugs need to be done right or you end up like (kamali).  I think its the most pathetic, riskful, and un-rewarding sport there is known to man.

 I have so much disdain for bodybuilders.  Pro-Bodybuilding is expensive and ridiculous.  I also think it involves suicidal tendencies because it's all about figuring out how to bring your body to abnormal proportions.  The diet has to be absurd.  The conditioning has to be life threatening.  Most of all the drugs need to be done in massive amounts.  I think its the most pathetic, riskful, still un-rewarding "sport" (LMFAO) there is known to man.

ESPN is just entertainment for drunks and people with low IQ's. Have you ever sat thru one of their shows in the past 3 to 4 years? It's just awful. They try too hard....half the time the anchors are making stupid jokes that aren't funny. Some are just obnoxious (like that black dude with the lazy eye).

I couldn't care less what ESPN thinks is a sport. Shit, they televise the fucking Spelling Bee for chrissake! Fuck, even Poker, something drunks do to pass the time..... ::)

ESPN is located here in CT.

The local and NY media refers to it as "Connecticut Clown College".

It's a sport where you don't have to be an athlete to compete,just like : baseball

Hunting is not a sport either.  I don't how much of a sport it is when you can hide in trees and shoot an unsuspecting animal from almost a mile away. Want to make hunting a sport.  Hide in a tree and when the bear walks by, jump on his back and kick his ass and then kill him with your bare hands. 

Agree 100%.

Hunters are cowards no doubt, insecure men that can;t beat up women anymore so they pick on defensless animals.

They are also the only group of people that have special legislative protection above your average citizen...If you protest a hunt you can be put in jail under the Hunter Harrasement law.

Amazing how republicans wants less govenment and laws and are against special treatment for certain people, but they passed this law without blinking an eye. The gun lobby is very powerful and very dangerous.

Hopefully Obama will get rid of this kind of special interest protection.

hunting is not a sport at all, but there is most likely only 1-2 people on this site that are capable of making a shot from anywhere near a mile.

Not to sound nutty, but as someone from a non hunting place I find it all strange. So I can go down the street and kill a deer, but if I whip out a gun and pop a dog I will go to jail? I could kill a caribou but if I kill a horse I go to jail? Killing rabbits is legal yes? But prison awaits if I kill a cat? Some animals you can kill for "fun" others will get you jail time. So like what's the deal is killing animals for sport wrong or right.

And I agree hunting is no sport, just some bloodthirsty folks out to kill.

don't take this wrong because i don't hunt either, i do kill a shit ton of hogs though because Texas is being over run by the nasty bastards.

look at the type of animals you just described. you are comparing wild vs domesticated, and here in Texas if you kill a horse it is not animal cruelty anymore, it is now criminal mischief and the penalty depends on the $ value of the horse. i found this out the about 7 months ago when we arrested a juvenile for killing a 2 week old horse with a pellet gun.

ALL of the sports you referred to use roids.

Remember, ESPN, the "Sports Network" regularly (and pathetically) features Poker championships and crosswords championships. 


You have a point, sadly mainstream that follows poker and all that stuff on ESPN believe theres a competition going on and that it takes some kind of "skills" to actually win those "championships"...

 BB doesnt have that effect (dont ask i dont know why).

Most people on here would probably claim they could do that

But do they really have the "ground skills" to do it??

An old friend of mine actually had a pet gerbil of his stuffed after it died.  He mounted it on a wall in his den and calls himself "Small Game Hunter"
