Bob Chick - Athlete's Representative?

[G o a t b o y]

Bob is in charge of making sure all athletes with delayed flights are DQ'ed from competing, but he's all cool and shit with grapefruit-fucckers.

Still cant figure it out i see....there are the RULES, which they dont deviate from...and there is the Code of conduct, which are a set of beliefs and suggestions...which are open to interpretation, and SUBJECT to being imposed depending on the situation.

Chick,

the IFBB rule book does not have a section called "code of conduct" that you keep reffering to?
Maybe it is next to that phantom job posting for the "athlete rep" that you happened to see.

[Chick]

I'm very surprised you do not event try to defend this guy. This is a perfect example where it shows you are more the IFBB rep than the "athletes" rep.  You show NO support for the athlete.  NONE.  Of all the rules and what you call Code of Conduct that is broken everyday in the IFBB this instance is something that you should defend.  And you wonder why none of the members show up to your meetings.  You don't do anything to defend them when they need it.  Very embarrassing for you to do this.  This really made you look bad.  Really, you should resign before you hurt more athletes.  Good job

What the hell are you talking about?

[dearth]

Chick,


still waiting for you to actually show us where this so called "code of conduct" exists
which is a seperate entity from the "rules" (as you put it)

[Vince B]

Seems to me there is a conflict of interest when Bob is a media guy and supposed to represent professional bodybuilders. How can he do both jobs at the same time? In Colorado he attended to the MC job and wasn't there for the athletes.

I had to laugh when Bob tried to warm up the crowd. "Hello, Denver!" but hardly anyone replied. Ditto when he asked if they were ready to see some hardcore physiques or whatever language he used.

Bob, stick with the media. That is your forte. Leave the ethics and issues to guys who can deal with those kinds of things. By the way, you didn't wear a tie. Shouldn't athletes rep have to dress appropriately for contests?

If he's as good as Shawn at picking out ties, he's better off without.

[Vince B]

Isn't there an official IFBB tie?

[War-Horse]

with all due respect War-Horse and your impressive arm size aside, i will reserve judgement until you are shredded and competing in a bodybuilding contest.

i hope you've got more than big arms.

Its a deal.   And yes Im proportional and balanced.   I have done many shows, but not since 1993..........Thank you for your compliment and challenge.

Armin wouldve won the colorado...!!!!

What, that uber-gay thing that Ben Weider always wears?

What was I supposed to be doing for the athletes?[/b]

Of course you did, because you're clueless as usual...we didn't have the audience mic'ed... idiot.

Take it easy, Bob. Don't get too excited. This is Getbig and Goatboy and I were just stirring a bit. Still, you should have worn a tie as an official IFBB rep. Not a good precedent there, Bob.

Who gives a shit if he wears a tie?!  It's not like future bodybuilders are going to look back on that night and say "this is the night that Bob Chick did not wear a tie."

[bigdumbbell]

Armin wouldve won the colorado...!!!!

who's the lady with the wig in the background, Bay Buchanan?

LOL...you have to remember...all the "not gay" guys on here like to critique my wardrobe on a regular basis.

Sinatra would have had words for you, Bob.

[Vince B]

Look, Bob, I feel sorry for you. Okay, I will explain what your job as athletes rep should be. At the Colorado Pro there were at least 20 professional bodybuilders there. That would have been a good opportunity to canvass opinions and that sort of thing. You know, actually talk to the pros and see if there are issues or things they want to change.

Then you could have assisted Armin and others who could have had a better experience.

When you ask what you should have done for the athletes you are oblivious. How can you assist any of them or be there for them if you and Dan have to do the broadcast? You could have been backstage to make sure things were going along okay and that sort of thing.

I know you aren't naive but you can't be in two places at once. You literally abandoned your role as rep when you do those broadcasts. Also, no professional rep should be seen to be biased re the competitors. Thus, making positive and negative comments re bodybuilders and their posing is just not acceptable.

Hope this helps.

oh, let me say...i thought bob looked smashing without the tie and the geek he was with looked like a fruitcake

[Vince B]

You guys laugh at the tie issue but Ben Weider has standards and surely Bob should abide by them and set an example for other officials?

[Chick]

By all means...nohing like a annoying fool like yourself to try and tell someone what THEY should be doing...just like you giving advices to Arnold, and the Barbarians...

I talked to every pro there...

Then you could have assisted Armin and others who could have had a better experience.

I explained to Armin what the deal was...he understood and that was that.

I was there from Thurs., talked with every pro there at one time or another...was there for the Athletes Meeting, answered questions from some of the Athletes, was back stage for the entire night with the pro's until we went on the stage...


I know you aren't naive but you can't be in two places at once.

Don't need to be...

 You literally abandoned your role as rep when you do those broadcasts. Also, no professional rep should be seen to be biased re the competitors. Thus, making positive and negative comments re bodybuilders and their posing is just not acceptable.

There was no bias...just MCing. It's a SHOW....I don't make negative comments toward the competitors on stage...I do my best to make each and every one of them appreciated and respected.


Hope this helps.

It doesn't...

If Ben Weider wants to wear a gay logo tie, that's his problem...  Bob shouldn't have to.  As long as he doesn't wear shirts so shiny they cause glare in the camera, who cares what he wears?

I have no idea if and when Bob is needed as the pro's rep. THat is the pros business not mine as a mere fan.However, I do know he does a great job as our sports ambassador and MC at shows.
I don't agree with on some issues and ideas but applaud his sincere desire to advance our sport.
