Is Bodybuilding a sport [META]

Not a shitpost.

As someone that has recently started going to the gym 5-7 days a week and have a group of friends who also do this it poses the question is body building a sport?

"sport definition" an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment.

"Physical exertion" there is no question that the training and build up for bodybuilding is intense and to do this at the highest level is very tough and something which 99% of people cannot to at the top level, but the activity itself of posing could be questioned as note physical exerting enough to be deemed a sport, as for the "skill" part I don't think there a VERY LARGE degree to skill for the posing but again the things needed to get to this point is all skill, form and dedication.

Also adding a strawpoll link http://bit.ly/2eOJdiT

TL;DR Is bodybuilding a sport, use the strawpoll
