It's Not A Sport

It's a frequent discussion among my friends, Is something a sport or not. I would like to share with you my thoughts on the issue.

Bodybuilding

Bodybuilding is not a sport.

True, it is competitive. But it is judged and at the limits, it is clearly weird
This is particularly true for female body building. ( some of the top competitors , jacked full of male hormones have lost an premise of what it is to look female. If you need genetic testing to prove the sex of the competitor, then you have serious problems. )

But male bodybuilding should not be exempted. The winner is always subjective, and the dietary regiments that the winners perform (even when they are not pumping steroids ) is more than enough to qualify the whole event as 'weird' ..

NOT A SPORT

what a load of crap i am a bodybuilder it is a sport i don't know why you think not it takes alot of dedication through deiting takin the right supplements yes even the odd steriod to get to the top of your game but i think it isn't weird it is just because you don't understand it that you think that way you should go and watch a show and see for yourself what it really takes before you prejudge.

I don't mean to claim that it's not competitive. Eating hotdogs can be competitive, but it's Just Not a Sport.
