+1 gotta love Hemingway. I don't think its a sport at all, I do think its a constant struggle for your own perfection and the most work and dedication you can put into something.

according to Webster's sport is defined as; any recreational activity, spec., a game, COMPETITION, etc requiring bodily exertion. Therefore to answer the question yes bodybuilding is a sport. (Especially if you have ever done it which I a few guys including myself have!)

Post up some pics of you competing. I've completed for 10 years with the best of them in the NPC. Dude its not a sport. See my post its #18. Power lifting or Olympic lifting is a sport. Standing on stage flexing is hardly a sport.
