Not a sport

Bodybuilding is the process of maximizing muscle hypertrophy and is still not a sport, with that being said competitive bodybuilding consists of bodybuilders displaying their physiques to a panel of judges witch some are probably fag's in order to win a pageant!

Bodybuilding is not a sport. It is a gay beauty pageant for schmoes such as yourself, Earl.

How can it be anyone's "favorite sport" when it's not even a sport at all?

I watch ESPN and other sports networks almost all day and listen to it on the radio............not one mention of bodybuilding. Rome however, makes fun of it.

Enough of this nonsense.... this is just a silly matter of semantics. We could easily make a distinction between subjective and objective sports. Obviously Bodybuilding would fall under the mantle of a subjective sport....

For whatever bizarre reason most of the people here, seem to relish trashing bodybuilding with any chance they get, so this is more of an outlet for that, then a serious debate.

M!

It's not a sport = cannot possibly be anyone's favorite sport.

No trashing.........just distinguishing a sport from a non-sport and an athlete from a non-athlete.

Earl has admited that his obsession with Levrone is gay, now if we could just get him to admit bodybuilding is not a sport.

This forum is hardly about bodybuilding. Why don't you discuss bodybuilding in the Sports forum?

Because it's not a sport!

show me where i admitted this

I said it was gay to lust after him or any man

reading clearly isn't your strong point, which is why you can't understand the definition of the word "sport"

Topskin69 · « **Reply #922 on:** January 10, 2009, 09:33:36 PM »

Another thing to keep in mind.... If it was merely a pageant as many around here like to state...

Then people like Bob Paris, Lee Labrada, Shawn Ray, etc...would be undefeated champions in every show they entered, (or you could replace the "Aesthetic" bodybuilders of any era, in this example.)

Of course this isn't the case, because there is other criteria to consider. Mass, conditioning, etc...

These may be subjective terms, but there is enough variables in a bodybuilding competition, that it would be intellectually dishonest, to just refer to it as a "pageant."

Subjective Sport would be a better term IMO.

uh yeah it is mostly about bodybuilding and you mod the one forum that is entirely dedicated to the sport, the positive board

getbig is a bodybuilding forum, not a football or basketball forum, which is why they have their own section

The thread is being bumped in an effort to educate those who have been naively taken in by schmoes such as yourself, Earl, into believing that oiled men in thongs is somehow a "sport".
