Title: Who is stopping the "compare everyone in the top 10" from happening?
Post by: 240 is Back on February 19, 2007, 05:40:12 PM
Bob wants it.  It's pretty obvious the athletes want it.  Who is hating on it?  Promoters?  IFBB rules?

That would make it more difficult for the powers-that-be to fix contests to their liking.

I'm gobsmacked.

Here's a perfect opportunity for you to rail on Bob for being a whipping boy of the powers-that-be - and instead you imply that he's actively exerting a force towards (though obviously not yet reaching) positive change...

What happened to you, man? You used to be about the music.  >:(

Very good question, obviously if you are battling for 9th or 10th you dont need to be compared to the 1 and 2 spot very many times but it would prevent a darkhorse from getting screwed over cuz he is not yet a big name.

No one in particular is against it, as I said on the show...it's the judging SYSTEM that needs to be changed...the system currently in place doesn't allow for this type of idea.

I'm looking to change it...

Considering what happened with your supposed Victory, I can't expect you to understand.

Some would say sponsors, supplement company owners, mag publishers, etc.  

it can't be argued that Gunther winning the O wouldn't sell more covers than Mustafa, or that the people who own ABC Supplements (who is sponsoring the show) wouldn't benefit financially from their guy squeaking out a 5th place finish and subsequent invite to the O they can attribute to his use of ABC supps.

There's plenty of motive to fix shows.  Not saying it does or doesn't happen.  But to say there are groups which do or do not benefit from certain outcomes (made possible and justifiable thru limited comparisons) is obviously wrong.

they should segregate the blacks and the whites.  The negroes are winning all the shows.
