Sports bigger than Bodybuilding.

[mass243]

Well, "Ursus" and "Teh Coach" ... don't we have sports like diving (dunno if it's correct word, the one where 'athletes' jump in pool and judges judge that) where points are given by judges opinions just as much as in bodybuilding ?

[Ursus]

They do have a judging criteria and it actually requires athletic exertion.

Bodybuilding does not even have as basic a criteria for actually measuring performance of any kind be it muscularity or bodyfat percentage.

It is not a performance sport so it does not need this. It is not a sport either. Totally subjective just like a beauty pagaent.

The fact people argue over who was better, e.g. Ronnie vs Dorian shows that it is so subjective and solely based on opinion. it is impossible to argue who was the better sprinter when one runs a 9.8 and the other a 9.9.

[Earl1972]

A sport is something that requires physical exertion and skill/talent.

A sport is measured by something tangible. E.g. Who scores the most goals. Who runs the fastest. Who throws the furthest etc.

Bodybuilding judging is not. It is wholly subjective. Denying this is idiotic. Idiot.

posing requires skill and exertion, you learned that from me

oh if i'm an idiot than so is yahoo.com you big dumb neanderthal

Earl and I have been going around and around on this for years....he doesn't listen.

Whilst posing may require exertion (due to dehydration and being near death) once again it is not something that can be marked according to a set criteria. Performace in it cannot be compared. Once again all subjective hence why some like the slow posing and other like the more aggressive type posing.

If it is on the internet then it must be true 

Whilst posing may require exertion (due to dehydration and being near death) once again it is not something that can be marked according to a set criteria. Performace in it cannot be compared. Once again all subjective hence why some like the slow posing and other like the more aggressive type posing.

Graham Lancfield (NABBA International Prez & Nabba Australia) 4 Hardcore Mag (Aussie BB mag) : people want to go & see freaks, it's like going to circus.
Bodybuilding competitions are more freaks show than anything else.
Mr.Lancfield said his organisation did not conduct drug test !.
Lancfield not only recognise that bodybuilding is not a main sport but argues that bodybuilding IS NOT SPORT AT ALL ...........

(G.L. was Mr.Australia,IFBB Mr.Universe 2nd,NABBA Masters Mr.Universe )

Add competitive eating to the list. Every year the hotdog eating contest is broadcast on ESPN on the 4th of July. More people know who Kobayashi is than will ever know who Heath or cutler are.
