The whole debate about whether bodybuilding is a sport got me thinking - is any sport where the winner is determined by a judging panel really a sport?
For example, sports like track, swimming, cycling, shooting, football, rugby, baseball, golf, motorsport, weightlifting, etc etc etc, there is a CLEAR WINNER derived from the ideal 'faster, higher, stronger' (or whatever the f ck it is).
But with sports like bodybuliding, gymnastics, ice skating, synchronised swimming, it is all simply based on a few peoples opinions, and (like it or not), could be swayed by something as simple as if one of the judges thinks the competitior is hot or not!!??
I mean for f cks sakes come on, I for one would absoloutly hate to know that i had been the best in a sport one day, and lost out to some sh itty judges decision. It is probably a good job that there isnt alot of money in bodybuilding, as if somebody that should have won $1million got screwed and came in 3rd or 4th and won $100k instead, there would surely be a hell of a stink kicked up.
