    I don't see it as a "sport". It's competitive, but more on the terms of pageant. You can't determine how "strong, explosive, physically talented, etc" the competitors are by just looking at them. They don't compete against each other "physically" per se like other sports like football, soccer, basketball, track, do.
    So I consider bodybuilding a competition.
    I am a bodybuilding fan and have always been. I've competed (as a natural only) and know what it takes to have to live it 24/7. That aside, if the opinion is that it's a "sport", I would have to say no.
