  • i'll have to say ...

    i'll have to say you're an Idiot Ali.

    That's like saying Baseball is a past-time and not a sport.

    Why would swimming be one of the most watched and anticipated sports at the olympics. Why would it even be in the olympics if it isnt a sport.

    F**king idiot.

  • Swimming is a ...

    Swimming is a pastime for people, but others take it as a very serious sport. And obviously, by your own definition, it is a sport... because they're doing a physical activity, and competing. So that's that.

  • Are you being ...

    Are you being serious? How in the world is swimming not a sport?

    Definition of sport: "a physical activity in which people compete against each other".

    Do I need to say more? It's not because you consider it a pastime that makes it not a sport. If you had said something like chess is not a sport I would totally agree, but swimming?

    Phelps is a great natural swimmer. Let's toss some of you jealous lamers in a pool and see if you can make it to the other side without drowning.

  • Marion Jones was on ...

    Marion Jones was on PED and she had the look of an athlete in "good shape." phelps doesnt look "lanky"- he looks like he is in good shape. When you are 1 mile ahead of other "world class" athletes in a race; every race; you should be a little critical. Just like major league baseball players suddenly hitting 60-70 homeruns a season. If he does get busted for doping, I wonder if nbc will cover it every 5 minutes like they do with him now.
