Because they are stupid! Gymnastics is a sport not only for the body but for the mind. It takes a strong minded and a strong willed individual to keep up with school, practice, routines, and competitions. It takes more endurance to compete this way than it does for just hit someone on the football field. Not to say that football isn't a strong sport but gymnastics takes just as much and gives just as much. I did both when I was younger.

The people who do gymnastics probably can't do nothing else but gymnastics is hard as hell to do. The reason that football is more popular is because most Americans are simple minded and they like it when the sports are simple. Unlike gymnastics is complicated and they can't follow it.

After watching the Olympic games, I don't know how anyone can say that.
Every gymnast has muscles that don't seem to end, and their bodies work so hard to make their moves look effortless. That would make it a difficult sport in my book.

I don't think its a weak sport. I think it takes amazing balance and skill. I really don't know anyone who thinks its a sport for weak people. most people who have ever actually seen gymnists have also seen all the muscle that is exposed in those tiny little outfits.

I have never heard anything like that. In fact, I have heard the opposite and much respect given to gymnasts...now baseball, I have heard that about.

Who thinks that...I admire gymnasts, I think they are some of the strongest athlets in the world. They work harder then most athletes and they do eveything even if injured.
I think gymnists are great! I love watching them!

ok I'm not a gymnast, but I know that it's hard and there not weak, go try and walk on a 4 (I think) inch wide stick and do flips. go run and jump and twist and see how hard it is, and you can break your wrists, knees, ankles, and then some.
