Why the hell would I respect someone who is not worthy of respect!?! Just because they are a great athlete doesn't make them worthy. That is the reason athletes create a public profile, to focus us on their sporting achievements or aspects they are comfortable having in the spotlight. You cannot tell fans of the sport that they have to support athletes that they don't like, or athletes they regard as flawed, but you especially cannot tell a fan that they should have to put up with the dark/shitty side of the sport.

Most of the pro-athletes I've met are pretty decent people. But I have also met some that are jerks, or idiots, or just plain bad people. I do not have to like these people just because they play for my favourite team or are high profile in my favourite sport. You are wanting to pretend that there is only one dimension to any athlete, and yet the sport itself doesn't even try and market itself as that (otherwise pro-videos/articles would only have the competition on stage, not their diet, not their training, not their house, not their car, etc, etc).

Michael Jordan is a prime example of an athlete that is the exact type of example that people have done what I am suggesting. He womanized women openly to the point his wife divorced him. But every one loved him b/c he was an amazing player. I am not pretending anything, i am saying the most relevant dimension of the athlete to the sport they participate in is their athletic performance.

But beyond that you are also not seeing the bigger picture. If the fans were more organized and took part in more events then the events would become even larger and more popularized. You are still taking a very suborned post modern mind set and once more do not seem to acknowledge the benefit of moving past that to move forward to something larger.

And his points are selfish and about personal freedoms being violated as if in some extreme way, when in reality the benefit of trying some different approach might make very positive advances, or it may do nothing.

Bullshit. If that is what you are reading out of my responses then you have missed my points entirely. You are trying to say that somehow it is not our right as individuals to bring any value system to pass upon what we like and dislike. What is the first thing that is discussed after any BBing event? What we felt the placings should have been of course!! Similarly we will always pass a level of judgement of the worthiness of someone to be a champion which is influenced by far more than what they achieve, but the way they achieve it, their personal decorum and perceptions of them as people. You are ignoring the entire human response and trying to implant some sort of draconian idealism which is just facile and pathetic.

IThe post was largely meant to be insulting so I responded accordingly.

No it wasn't. It was a joke. You know... sarcasm.

 

[El Freako]

^This.

Get over it. Ben, whatever point you thought you were trying to make was inherently flawed, as was the execution.

Can we have the thread back now?

[Johnny Bravo]

Fuck he's big.

 

[Skeptic]

Just me, or do his forearms look bigger than phils? haha

EDIT: Does anyone happen to know if he plans to compete soon?

 

[MrChewiebitums]

the guy holds amazing mass.. dont be surprised if he has a few bodyparts bigger then phil, but phil is much leaner and the angle of the camera and position of the arms favours alexey

 

[El Freako]

I would love to see them side-by-side on stage.

 

[kn609]

I think it's just the angle, like Chewie said. I've always thought that his forearms, particularly his brachioradialis, are a little underdeveloped.

I remember there was a pic of him posing next to a fitness girl and he didn't look that much bigger than her. Now he's standing next to Phil and matching his size.

 

[Pickle]

After Kai wins the O this year and Phil wins it in 2011 could it be a contest between Alexi and Phil for the title in 2012 ? :O

 

[tim290280]

Holy Shite!!!

 

[mvsf1]

For sure this guy is huge, but I also think Phil looks smaller in this pic than his actual self.

 

[El Freako]

^Alexey is looks big but I'm pretty sure his BF% is significantly higher.

Found this gallery too: Galerie - Alexey Lesukov

 

[Natzo]

his gf.. makes me .. ah you know.

 

[Pickle]

lololol, Noones going to say anything about the 2 of them being in a photo together? HYPOCRITES.

p.s his BF is obviously a lot higher but its still impressive how big he is next to one of the heaviest bodybuilders in kai :O

 

[dilatedmuscle]
