Some of you will say it's not a sport but it's as physically demanding endeaver as anything. Much more than golf or bowling which some people consider Sports. Oh and how could I forget Nascar. They have category for Wrestling what a joke.

I've been a bodybuilder(non competitive) for many years, so I'm with you on this. But, It might be because, the scoring of the competition is subjective. You score points based on the judges opinion. The training for the competition however, is the most rigorous there is.

It's very complicated. It has to do with politics, radical feminism, the aerobics-fitness cartel, and the anti-meat crowd. I don't blame Yahoo, they've just been conditioned by the current political climate in fitness.
Feminists (and left wingers in general) see bodybuilding as brutish and over masculinized. Bodybuilders must eat a high fat, high protein diet, which irks the anti-meat people.
Weight and strength training is by far the best way to lose fat and look good. But the aerobics-fitness establishment will have none of it. We've been sold the lie for decades that cardio and aerobics are the best way to lose fat and achieve health. That is dead wrong. Weight and strength training is the way to go.
But again, lifting is viewed as a more masculine activity, therefore bad. Feminized aerobics, cardio, Pilates, and yoga are pushed on us due to the interests and biases of the above-mentioned political groups. Let us abandon their silliness.
Love, Jack.
PS: A note on NASCAR: Sure, the people who WATCH NASCAR may be out of shape lard-butts. But NASCAR Drivers need to be in great shape. Driving those races is physically demanding. A driver could work off ten pounds (or more) during a race.

Bodybuilding is a sport? Who knew??
Seriously, who cares? If you need Y!A to officially recognize bodybuilding in the sports section, you have other issues. The fact that they don't - does that mean you are quitting bodybuilding? Get on with your life and let trivia be trivia.
Good Luck
