Ben:   "Hey Joe!  How are we gonna convince more well-built men to strip down to their skivies and 'pose' for us?  I mean, there just aren't that many young muscular men who are gay in the entire country!"


Joe:  "Hey, I know!  Let's call it a 'sport'.  I mean, all young heterosexual men are into sports, right?  And many of them have big muscles, right?  If we fool them into thinking it's a sport, maybe they'll fail to recognize how fucckin' gay the whole thing is.  In fact, if we play our cards right, we'll even get them thinking that participating in this sport will help them with the ladies and all!"


Ben: "Awesome, Joe!  You're a genius!"

LOL!! ;D

Bodybuilding is not a sport because winning in it does not depend 100% on the performance of a physical skill.

Do you think bbing is a sport?

Would you also consider poker, beauty pageants, modeling, darts, etc...sports?

Deep down, he hasn't solidified his opinion. He's still working it out.

No, I dont consider those mentioned sports

Yes, I consider BB a sport, as people need to realize there are different types of sports, and not all have the same athletic skill, or requirements...


I know one thing..it sure beats being on the internet DEBATING whether or not its a sport...especially from anaonymous people who have never seent he inside of a gym...nothing more comical to me than seeing fools argue the point ad nauseum , when it means NOTHING to them either way...

Chick, bodybuilders are judged on how they look.  It's not a sport, it's a pageant.

You are correct, and the process to GET to the stage to BE judged...certainly qualifies as a sport.

Then why don't they call beauty pageant contestants athletes?  The exercise and diet just the same for their contest.

It's quite obvious you've never been on stage...no surprise there.

I've known plenty of girls who competed in the Ms. USA Ms. America, etc....and neither trained or dieted, like the majority of them....never met anyone who competed without having to do both.

"body88" is another one of these 6'1" 188 pound guys who spends 8 hours a day on a bodybuilding site but claims to detest bodybuilding and would not want to look like one, Chick.

No, it doesn't. Because measures are not being taken during that process, then accounted in determining the winner. All that matters is how you look.
 
The "process" you speak of is not what they're competing in. They're competing in how they look.

What "measures" are taken into account during football practice, and "accounted" in determining the winner?

They have a game, which has nothing to do with practice, etc...we have preperation...they play a game, we have a show....some sports have contact...some don't. Some have a combination of skill and presentation factored into the scoring...some have no debate like bowling.

As I said...you cannot lump all sports into the same criteria

Well since I am good friends with a former Miss MA, I would respectfully disagree with you.  She spends hours in the gym each week, and she diets like crazy.  Why does it matter if I have been on stage before, and how do you know that I haven't?  I played college sports at a reasonabley high level, and you didn't.....does that make you unable to comment on college athletics?  Pretty sure you have never stepped foot in the White house, but I'm sure you have an opinion on polotics in this country.

Pro bb contests are pageants, plain and simple.

Thus, the word "MAJORITY" which was used...meaning MOST, but not neccessarily ALL.

There is a reason that 99.9% of the people I've ever talked to, etc...that HAVE competed, call it a sport. It entails much more than people who havent, could know....which includes people like YOU.

Having an EDUCATED opinion carries more weight than merely guessing, which ids what you are doing, as I would be to comment specifically on matters I don't have expertise in....

That process would be weighlifting. Weightlifting is a sport, yes. Getting onstage in your underwear for old guys to "judge" you is not a sport.

Weightlifting would be a different sport....

Not sure what else you're talking about, as I've been BBing my whole life at the local level, teenage, national, and pro level...and have never gotten on stage in my underwear for old guys...

You have no idea if I have competed, who I am, or if I am close with people that competed at a pretty high level.  My opinion is educated, and just because you don't like it, that does not mean I am uneducated.  Bodybuilding is not a sport, bb's are not true pro athletes, and pro shows are infact pageants.  Two of those points are opinions the last one is a FACT.

Nothing you mention is a "fact"...the point that you seem it is, automatically takes you out of an educated opinion as you've shown your ignorance...talking in absolutes makes your argument ignorant
