Bob Chick - Athlete's Representative?

[War-Horse]

No... my point was... He was a consistent TOP finisher, winner of several shows, featured on numerous covers, featured inside magazines constantly, a crowd favorite, and a featured spokesperson for a high profile company.  

What was to complain about... any number of competitors would have loved having those problems.  He didn't have to work (except booth appearances), had disposable income to spend on his hobby, ate, trained, (won't get into the negative stuff), and competed.  That's the ultimate bodybuilders dream... just doing what you enjoy and making a good living at it, hell thats anybody's dream.  Who in this thread would complain about living the life he HAD.

I'm not bashing Lee, he made a choice, everyone is entitled to make choices thats what freedom is all about... but there is a catch to making a choice... you have to live with the consequenses (if any) afterward.  It is like any person out in the workforce making a good wage and living a nice life... sure there are issues with any job... then one day a competitor offers that person a pretty good deal and they take it... well it turns out not to be all roses either, so the person decides the other company wasn't so bad afterall... Oh Well, that person had a Non-Compete agreement with Company A and broke it.  It happens everday.

As to your comment... That applies to NOW... if he wants anything to do with the IFBB ever again, yes he probably will have to try and get his ankles behind his head... and rightly so.

Your post was succesful..     Gawd dammit Lee!!!!   You idiot!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Chick]

he hasn't explained the IFBBs selective enforcement of its "rules"

This has been explained too many times to mention...the IFBB didn't have any "selective enforcement" of said rule....anyone who has EVER competed in a non IFBB show while being a member, has received the EXACT same result as Lee.

The "Code of Conduct" is a seperate part and is a "guide" as to how to conduct yourself as a pro....two different things.

[Scooby]

....two different things.

Oh that's right... Chick came down from high on the mountain top with 2 tablets (one was Rules and the other the Code of Conduct).  And if I'm not mistaken they were etched into the stone to make them permanent.

Wait that wasn't Chick... the rules and code of conduct go way back, even pre-WBF (which of course was before Bob was a pro).  Wow remember how many guys got banned after the whole WBF thing went south?  History repeats itself again (except smaller).

You are basically telling me that the IFBB cooked up a "code of conduct"
so that they can in fact selectively enforce policy, but not their rules.


Under rules

Rule 8 - drug testing
8.1 Policy statement "the use of prohibited substances and/or prohibited methods - to artificially enhance performance is unethical, contrary to the concept of fair play, undermines the value of the sport, and can endanger the health of the athletes"

I guess the IFBB really must enforce this rule as won your world masters title drug free, right Chick?

WELL LIKE I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES YES I DID VERY WELL....BUT I WASNT COMPLAINING FOR ME....I WAS COMPLAINING FOR THE OTHER GUYS WHO WERE GETTING F UCKED ALL THE TIME..........I WOULD HEAR THEM COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME BACKSTAGE AND AROUND GYMS OR CONTESTS..........SHIT I COULD HAVE EASILY JUST BEEN  LIKE THE REST BUT THATS NOT ME

[phyxsius]

 The other pros are pussys if they complain behind doors.    Its really not Bobs fault at all.  imo.

Are you saying that Bob is the leader of pussies, not pro bodybuilders?

Bob, did you check your role description before you put in your signature?

Yes, bob has unintentionally became the KING of pussy IFBB  bb's....



Any one who complains and shuts up when the time is right to explain, is a pussy.

[phyxsius]

That's why I hail Lee as the role model of aspiring youth

Look, I am no close friend of Bob Chic obviously, but I sincerely feel he is good for bodybuilding. Granted not every pro is gonna love every one of his ideas, but, he is a sincere, intelligent guy that has a genuine passion for bodybuilding.
It was the highlight of the Colorado pro expo today for me, to get to speak at some length with Bob about many issues in the IFBB. My girlfriend is still new to all this but felt a guy like Bob is the ideal kind of image the sport needs now. I agree.
The expo was a bit disorganized and I was a disppointed overall. I applaud many of those that work the booths for their efforts however.

What was disorganzied

[New Hank Wood]

What was disorganzied

Back off Keith.

Do not attempt to legitimise your presence here!

Chick constantly mocks and derides you.

What is it with fat people? Why do they continue to subject themselves to ridicule!

I sincerely believe that Wank Wood is very much obsessed with Keith

You just dont get it Keith!

Get what??

[onlyme]

whoa there cowboy, don't get your panties in a bunch.  I figured you'd be out doing a "special" posing session at this time.  I'll keep it down so you don't get a migraine.  You know a migraine with the little brains you got is bad.

No...they cooked up a code of conduct to cover their ass on things that would be hard to enforce under the law.....just like any pro organization has, baseball, football, basketball, etc, etc. You join a org. or federation of your own free will and agree to abide by the rules set forth.

The IFBB reserves the RIGHT to enforce these rules anytime they wish...and we agree to be subject to those rules should they be brought into play...drug testing included.

Bob admits the crap is arbitrary, then defends it because "everyone does it".


If fuccking athletes over is good enough for MLB or NBA, it's good enough for IFBB!

so, it is basically arbitrary which rules are enforced?

[Vince B]

Well, folks, it has all been spelled out. Here is the bottom line. Bob is the IFBB's appointed pro rep. Good for him. He is doing the job the way they want him to do it.

The problem is he IS NOT REPRESENTING THE PROFESSIONAL BODYBUILDERS. He was not elected by them. This is why people accuse Bob of being the IFBB stooge and nincompoop. When the competitors elect someone to represent them things might change. In the meantime, Bob can just bullshit all night long and dismiss any and all comments about him and his job.

Bob needs that job for status so he can be somebody in the Irongame and have credentials for the media.

If LEE and Milos want to organize a meeting to elect a rep there is nothing the IFBB can do about it. Well, they can ignore that rep.

This issue is pointless debating with Bob C.

[dearth]

So you are saying the IFBB selectively enforces its rules?

thanks Chick.

[phyxsius]

So you are saying the IFBB selectively enforces its rules?

thanks Chick.

and he also claimed that it's better working with them than against them.


In other words, he's the puppet

What athletes are getting "fucked over"? And for what?


PHYSXSIUS:

Still dont get it I see...


DEARTH:

READ man, R E A D....it's not that tough to understand.


VINCE:

You're stil an old fat fuck...STFU fool...keep inventing stuff thats been around for a 100 years.

[BEAST 8692]

Chick works with the crumbs he gets from the ifbb and tries to put them together to make a sandwich.

this is as good as it gets for pro bbers. there will be no revolution at the ifbb door step.

think about it people. vince mcmahon was in his corporate prime when he tried to step on weider's toes and even with his great promise of stardom and contracts to rival the wwf only a few followed. so much for the disgruntled ifbb bbers . obviously, even with mcmahon's midas touch it STILL turned out a disaster and weider said i told you so and pay me 30 000 to get your contract back thanks.

most simply retired, but the fact is NONE of those guys ever came back to former glory, whether they paid up or not. i wonder why?

considering mcmahon's failure why in the world would any successful pro bber even think about following lee

i'm sorry but let's talk reality here. pro bbers are all hot air and bullshit. when it comes time to walk their talk they go belly up and piss themselves. how long did melvyn last? milos? did luke actually make an appearance on this thread? i guess he must be over the moon with his lot then

pro bbers are worse than a moaning bitch with pmt. i say worse because at least the bitch has power of the pussy. wtf a pro bber got? one don't put out there's always someone else that'll bend over and take it in the ass. hello Chick.
