Seriously, the only reason they call bodybuilding a "sport" is so it sounds masculine and heterosexual and poor unsuspecting kids don't see it for what it really is... a gay beauty pageant.
Agreed, but "sport" has lost its meaning. Bodybuilding
has been on ESPN, but so is poker every week. And pool. And darts. Hell, bowlers and golfers are superjocks compared to these.
NASCAR, table tennis, chess, horse racing, video gaming, crossword tournaments ...
Someone has, or will, make an argument for all of 'em.
Meaningless.
