Posing on stage = not a real sport (anyway training in the gym and being a bodybuilder 24/7 is the hardest sport you can find...)
Beating the shit out of an other man and being a "champion" = not a real sport plus I believe it makes the world worse...
Real sport = for example basketball just to name one...
The idea of two men boxing or fighting in any capacity, even in the likes of MMA, has long been considered a sport even before mainstream sports like baseball, basketball and hockey became so popular.
Think of the gladiator games in the Roman Colosseum. Two men, who've spent a life training in the art/sport of fighting, come together to do battle, in order to determine who is the better fighter/athlete.
Some will argue that the thought of a man spending close to a year's time in the gym, preparing for a glorified beauty pageant is more of a sad thing that promotes vanity and detrimental physiological effects.
What do these men truly accomplish? You spend a year training as hard as you can in the gym, injecting steroids into your body vigorously, hoping that you are able to somehow come in holding a little more muscle and less fat than the rest of them AND then to top it off, you have to wax your body, spray on a bronzer of some type and then go up on stage only to parade around in a thong side-by-side other semi-nude men, who are greased up and moaning from pose to pose. To make matters worse, when you are individually judged, you are expected to go up on a stage and practically perform identical to that of a male stripper at a gay bar. They play some nice dance music, to which the professional bodybuilder dances to, while waving to the crowd in hopes that they would cheer him on.
Face it man, professional bodybuilding is the love child of both a male strip joint and a beauty pageant.
