cricket vs probodybuilding

[jwb]

Cricket seemed to be a little more action-filled than baseball though.

Especially the one day game

8 hours of play often comes down to the final ball of the day with the batsman needing to hit the ball to the fence or even over the fence (kinda like a home run) for his team to win. All this after 600 balls have been bowled that day already...

Want me to teach you how to find my site?  I'll walk it through for you if you want..

Assuming you're this "ian van guilder" guy(assuming)...I've never heard of you. Meaning you obviously don't do so well in bodybuilding circles.

I saw the website and under "Competitions and awards" there's nothing listed.
Same with "Sponsorships".

And the only photographs on his site are too blurry to make out anything.

Sport-

• noun 1 an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.

http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/sport?view=uk

Sport-

a game, competition or activity needing physical effort and skill that is played or done according to rules, for enjoyment and/or as a job

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=76820&dict=CALD


Sport-

Physical activity that is governed by a set of rules or customs and often engaged in competitively.

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=sport&r=66

Sport is defined as an activity involving PHYSICAL EXERTION AND SKILL. Standing onstage and being judged on LOOKS is not a sport. Assuming flexing is "physical exertion" and that's a stretch to say the least,They are NOT JUDGED on flexing or posing but on looks.
In a REAL SPORT you come in at your best physical ability. In BODYBUILDING,Bodybuilders come in AT THEIR WEAKEST PHYSICALLY. When they are standing onstage after weeks of dieting they physically are at their weakest points. If bodybuilding were a real sport this would not cut it.

So we've proven Standing onstage in bodybuilding competitions is not a "Sport".


How about the physical effort it takes to lift the weights?

This is not a sport either because 1.They are not judged by how much they can lift or how hard they train. 2.The Training does not follow a set of "Rules" for competition. The bodybuilders training techniques vary vastly.


So the fact of the matter is Bodybuilding is not a sport from any aspect of the matter.

[Earl1972]

flexing every muscle simultaneously is physical exertion just ask Arnold

just ask anybody who has competed IN A MEANINGFUL SHOW posing onstage is a workout in itself

posing well takes skill it is common knowledge paul dillet would have placed higher if he knew how to pose

ronnie outposed jay to win the 01 Olympia

many bodybuilders have placed higher because they did well in the posing round

proves it's a sport

also none of what you said changes the fact that Yahoo and those other two sites list it as a sport

"but i don't see it on ESPN"

SHUTUP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[gordiano]

Could it be because BODYBUILDING IS NOT A SPORT AND BODYBUILDERS ARE NOT ATHLETES  ??

Careful now. The last time I said that my thread got erased.

[pumpster]

Bowling must be a sport if Cricket is. Cricket must be VERY demanding if games last 5 consecutive 8-hour days.  Plenty of time for ass-picking during those "epic" battles. Even curling's more athletic.

[ToxicAvenger]

we aussies love cricket. its one of the sports were australia dominates yet another sport

the pakis are gonna win the next world cup!

count on it 

the teams coming together and afridi is starting to look like a  faster scoring ponting!
