why doesnt espn give BB and TV time...

Everyother sport does, even ping pong

[mindgame]

I know they did it back in the day like 02. And ever since then i havent seen anything for it. They even show rock paper scissors championship on there.

j/k

lol damnit!

I have a hunch bb will not be on espn for awhile b/c this sport is too subjective and politics play a role and to be honest its not that exciting to watch, take for example the last Olympia everyone saw that J cutler was not at his best, heck he was nowhere near Victors shape and he still won how do you explain that to the general public?

[mindgame]

tru dat. it will never be back on espeically with the steroids bashing now dayz.

steroids will prevent bodybuilding from ever being on espn. for now at least.

I think the overall value and excitement of a bb show does not bring much to the table for espn to broadcast I mean if they are showing rock paper scissors championship and hot dog eating contests they must find those shows to be more profitable than bb.

steroids are a political hot point right now but other sports use them and they are getting broadcast, i think for bb to be shown 1 supplement companies have to get behind it and 2 the shows have to get more interesting

They wont run it cause the juice. It is not talked about in the BB community openly, and def not on TV.
I mean look what happend to the guy on the Bigger,Stronger,Faster movie, he worked for Muscletech got fired for openly admiting it. and i think in trouble with the police.

They are not open to running somehting that also seems to have a "gay" theme to it. I mean, the sport is not accepted by many. Sure, everyone wants to be one, but not many have what it takes nor know what they are doing.
They are also boring. All the other things you listed, Ping-Pong,Eating, etc etc all keep moving or happen fast.

It wont happen, and honestly i dont want ti too. Its already popular enough, we dont need more people out there tryin to buy juice becasue they think with enough they'll be on the Olympia stage within the next 2 years....this isnt like other sports. You gotta to do work and put in alot of time....
IMO, BBing is not a sport....its a lifestyle.

x2 broski. I thought I was the only one who enjoyed this.

1. steroids.

2. it is boring unless you are really into bb'ing.


....mainly #2 though. It is just posing/flexing. Nothing too insane. The general public can't even decipher what being in condition is. They are all fat so seeing someone 'lean' is more than enough detail for them.

[Brolic]

they have powerlifting on espn


WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUY ON BIGGER STRONGER FASTER

[mindgame]

they still have the strongman on espn.
