Chick, Jay says bodybuilding is not a sport

[Chick]

Still not a sport and the worlds number 1 and biggest active name in the industry right now agrees, poor bob and he argued in that other thread for pages that it was a sport hahahahahaha

What my argument was, and is...is that *I* consider it a sport....and could give a rats ass what anyone else thinks

[IrishMuscle84]

Please....no one forces anyone to gte into this business, or any other for that matter....you can make a case for almost EVERY industry being  built on lies...the film industry, beauty industry, music industry, magazine s, etc...

Football, baseball, basketball, swimming, track/ field, etc, etc...all built on roids without anyone admitting it....guess those dont count though, right?

Your whole youth was built on lies...Santa Claus, Easter bunny, tooth fairy, the idea that you could be anything you wanted to be in the world, etc....all lies...Religion, politics, business, on and on.

Educate yourself, be aware, dont be gullible or niave and use common sense....

WELL SAID MY GOOD SIR, HERE HERE.........

Well, you see Bee-Boy...it's like this.....Lets take you for example, although you're just one person, many names can be used to describe you...moron, idiot, loser, fool, ignoramous, buffoon, pencil neck geek, etc...

See?  doesnt really change who and what you are....still the same wannabe Jackass.

The world is defined by lies, treachery, abuse, hate and people taking advantage of each other...it's why the history of humanity is a nightmare.  However, that we choose to see this and continue the cycle because it's easy and the norm is no excuse. 

The true measure of a man is that he tries to better the world he sees not indulge in it.

of course its a sport...........what bodybuilder kicked sand in your face when you were young


"sport" comes in many different incarnations.........its basically using tools or the body physically with a set goal in competition or means for achievement


bodybuilding   is unique in that the actual physicality is performed prior to competition.........and yes, the competition is more of a pagent.........but the all-encompassing lifestyle of bodybuilding is certainly a sport


if golf is a sport, and john daley is considered and athlete.........


how can you actually argue that going to the gym day in day out, strict dieting, hours of cardio.........is not a sport

fishing is a sport
ping pong is a sport
bodybuilding is a sport


its not all so cut and dry like football and basketball

[DK II]

"Realistically," he says, "bodybuilding is not a sport. It's not beating someone with home runs or touchdowns. Bodybuilding is an art because you're crafting your best body. It's not about how much weight we lift. It's about carving your physique into its best form with hard work and God-given genetics."

So what do you have to say now??

Well, by no means i would think BB is a sport, but to be fair Jay said a lot of bullshit in that interview.

[Earl1972]

jay is only telling the "truth" when you guys agree with him

[hench]

I'd say competitive bodybuilding is a sport, you compete to earn points, train, diet etc. If not a sport what is it?

[The Abdominal Snoman]

Didn't Jay also say he was natural?

[Lion666]

its like ppl enjoy knocking bb'n,,, the best part is,,, this is a bodybuilding website.
no one is a stand out or gets cool points for trying to say its not a sport,,, at least once a wk these same stupid comments,, bb isnt a sport and blahblah,, y anyone has to call out someone that works in the industry like bob c and try to knock him and the sport that guess what a few ppl on this board actually really like...  its kinda weird that ppl actually make themselves feel better when they belittle it...

same stupid thread over and over... yeah not a sport is everyone happy...
and what do the ppl look like that keep crying the same tune??? prob nothing that even resembles a bb'r let alone even someone that looks like they lift weights so....

usually i would say love it our leave it,, its a bb'n board u no like then get the fock out,,,
if ur not into bb but ur on this board, thats schmoe territory
but

No, he admitted to creatine and ephedra use...

BS.

Dictionary.com defines sport as:

 
 sport   /spɔrt, spoʊrt/  Show Spelled
[spawrt, spohrt]  Show IPA
 
–noun
1. an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc.

At no time on a bodybuilding stage is skill or phsical prowess required.

Hunting & Fishing & even Poker all require FAR MORE SKILL then bbing.

Sorry Bob.

Olympic sport discussion
In the early 2000s, the IFBB was attempting to make bodybuilding an Olympic sport. It obtained full IOC membership in 2000 and was attempting to get approved as a demonstration event at the Olympics which would hopefully lead to it being added as a full contest. This did not happen. Olympic recognition for bodybuilding remains controversial since many argue that bodybuilding is not a sport.[6]



I'm confused...

[Option D]

Were you disappointed when you used that Axe deoderant spray, and no women started attacking you?  

I was actually pretty pissed..
