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.

Bodybuilding in no way is a sport. You stand on stage for judges.

In boxing you're judged by your demonstration of skill against your opponent. Bodybuilding is a paegent. Judged no differently than Miss America.

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!!)

If Arnold says it's a sport.. It's a sport..

Just try taking the drugs without doing the work and you will quickly realize that you don't know what you are talking about.

Say what you want, but I know I know my training is harder and more demanding than 1000 so called sports that consider themselves
" ATHLETES " Under that criteria. Bodybuilders, or at least some bodybuilders are Athletes for sure. Speaking for myself. I am 100 percent an athlete.
