Bodybuilding is not a sport.

[Fury]

Yeah!     How is fishing a sport?  You throw a line in the water and wait for a fish to bite.  And golf?  You hit a ball with a club and ride a cart to find it and hit it again...until it finally falls into a hole.  Olypmic "sports":  Syncronized swimming (people making shapes in the water), Equestrian (a person rides a horse and the horse does tricks), Bobsleigh (4 or 2 people in a closed sled going down an icey track), Luge (1 or 2 person in an open type sled), Skeleton (1 person head first in a sled, sliding down icey track) and Shooting (a gun...now there's a sport...ready, aim, fire.  Which brings up Hunting...that's a sport?  Hide in a tree and wait for an animal to come along and shoot at it?).

PGA guys aren't allowed to use golf carts during events. I'd love to see Ronnie or one of those other guys walk 7,000 yards in between swinging a club 70+ times and doing it for four straight days. They'd have a coronary.

Bodybuilding isn't a sport.

Here's the real problem in admitting bodybuilding isn't a sport is simple: Wannabes can't consider themselves athletes.

Yep. In a nutshell.

I guess you never saw Ronnie doing cardio 2 hours a day for weeks straight while working out 7 days a week plus a full time job.

Winning in bodybuilding, on the other hand, depends about 80% on your build (how you look), only about 20% on the skill (posing). Therefore, it is not a sport and is instead a form of a beauty pageant, the aesthetics of the body being the "beauty" part.

I'd make it more like 95%/5%.  Either way, the "win" depends on how you look, not on what you do at the competition.  That's a pageant, not a sport.

What does what Ronnie does when he goes to the gym have to do with whether or not standing around on a stage oiled up and wearing a thong flexing for old queers is a sport?

It's denial goatboy...the guy hasn't admitted his "dream" is a joke...

Yes, walking on a treadmill is soooooo exhausting.

Still not a sport.

Powerlifting is a sport.

Who says we think those activities are sports?  Bodybuilding is a pageant, it's not a sport.  We have exposed the fact that bb's are judged on their looks, which makes it a pageant.  Competitive bb's that call themselves pro athletes are delusional.

sport or not, lusting after kevin levrone is gay.

Powerlifting is a sport.

Yes, powerlifting is a sport.  An activity is performed during the competition (lifting weights), and the performance of that activity during the competition determines the winner (he who lifts the most weight wins).   To be like bodybuilding, the winner would be determined by who has the prettiest barbells or uses the best-smelling chalk.

Bodybuilding = NOT A SPORT

[G o a t b o y]

But Earl is a "sports fan".  Sports are very heterosexual, right?  Therefore, if bodybuilding is a sport, being an obsessed "fan" of Levrone is okay and not gay at all, right?


Ohhh..... wait a minute....   now we get to the root of Earl's state of denial....  BODYBUILDING IS NOT A SPORT!

[DeltsaForce]

Earl is just a sports fan. whereas some guys like to watch the  football game, Earl likes to watch videos of shaven men in underwear. well, one man actually: the maryland muscle machine !

Don't forget the oil!

[DeltsaForce]

Don't forget the oil!

can you imagine if Kev Lev made a comeback but forgot the oil and Earl was the hero who stepped out of the crowd with a gallon jar of oil and was the lucky man who got to apply that oil and tan to KL's inner thighs and glutes.
that would be like all Earl's christmases come at once.

Not a sport.

you can include:

figure skating
beauty pageants

golf
bowling
darts


as fas as im concerned, if no one is trying to defend you or vice versa, it isn't a sport. could be a skill, or a hobby, but not sport.

happy gilmore is the only exception to the golf part.

But they can look forward to being regarded as professional providers of homosexual entertainment.

Exactly, Earl. This thread is a whirlwind of pure confusion.

A bunch of oiled men in thongs "flexing" for old queens is not a sport, there is no doubt.  The point of repetition is to educate those in denial such as yourself, Earl.
