8/11/2008 10:48:25 PM

swimming is far from gay

8/11/2008 10:54:39 PM

^ but shaving all the hair from your body isnt.

8/11/2008 10:55:09 PM

true.

its always fun when the girls shave the boys.

8/11/2008 10:56:30 PM

^^Bicyclists do that too. I don't suppose you want to tell Lance Armstrong that he is gay?

lance is gay

how else would he get cancer?

8/11/2008 10:57:02 PM

sheryl crow sang him to death

8/11/2008 10:57:28 PM

Most swimmers have those body suits so they don't have to shave.


Phelps is a beast. He said in an interview that he eats between 8 and 10 thousand calories a day and still can't break 200lb.

8/11/2008 11:00:18 PM

most professional athletes eat that many calories a day

you pretty much have to to train and recover effectively

GAH

it's never Billy Ripken

8/11/2008 11:01:27 PM

swimming is DEFINITELY gay. I never said that gay guys couldn't be athletes, but in the range of sports, swimming is pretty soft

8/11/2008 11:02:04 PM

^^^^iiii know!!!

did you see the part where it listed what he ate for breakfast??

^ whoa whoa whoa, what do you mean "soft"

TWW in the olympics?

8/11/2008 11:02:11 PM

Most pro athletes weigh over 200 lbs is what I was getting at though.

I swam in highschool and I'll admit that we had at least one homo on the team. He was either way metro or gay but of course he never admitted it.
Here are some reasons that make it less gay:
1. Co-ed practice
2. Co-ed on the same bus to and from meets
3. 100 Butterfly
4. 200 IM

depends on the sport

8/11/2008 11:03:24 PM

^^haha no the fuck they dont

8/11/2008 11:04:15 PM

i don't think swimming is soft. although i don't really know what we're getting at with that term.

sports that aren't contact sports don't = easier

i think people get confused by swimming and think it is easier than it really is

8/11/2008 11:05:08 PM

look, i do not deny the athleticism it takes to be a swimmer. did you not read my post? i said dude was a beast. but going back and forth in a pool is a pretty gay sport. not to mention they shave off all their body hair and look like they could be poster boys for Super Twink 2

8/11/2008 11:05:58 PM

IN OTHER WORDS FOLKS


the sport doesnt appeal to him

you dont have to like the fuckin sport to appreciate the athletes and what they put into it

i fuckin hate soccer, but i dont deny their athleticism

8/11/2008 11:07:56 PM

i think going back and forth in the pool is pretty sweet. and its so fun to watch.

i think i like most of the stuff i've seen...even handball.

8/11/2008 11:08:27 PM

anyone see where Phelps got picked in the 2008 Major League Swimming Draft?

8/11/2008 11:09:17 PM

handball is totally magnificent

8/11/2008 11:09:43 PM

You act like shaving your hair to become faster is a bad thing. Who cares what you look like? Hair grows back. Also, where is your gold medal?


Do you think that track and field (mainly track) events are gay too?

8/11/2008 11:10:07 PM

what if I do?

You wanna fight about it?

8/11/2008 11:10:52 PM

^^no, because track and field isn't swimming


and YET AGAIN, I am not denying the athleticism. and no, I do not have a gold medal because that was not one of my goals in life. had that been one of my goals in life when I was 5 years old, I would have probably taken up a gay sport like swimming

8/11/2008 11:11:08 PM

i don't get it.

8/11/2008 11:11:57 PM

Track - run in circles: sprints and long distance
Swimming - back and forth in a pool: sprints and long distance

Where is the respect lost(besides shaving)?

8/11/2008 11:12:30 PM

phelps is starting for my fantasy swimming team tonight. it was a no brainer.

8/11/2008 11:12:39 PM

the events in track and field are a lot more diverse than in swimming


and by alot, i mean ALOT

8/11/2008 11:13:56 PM

look, there is an easy way to settle this. when evan gets here just ask him if he would prefer a swimmer or a baseball/football/basketball player

^ my point exactly. apples and oranges

[Edited on August 11, 2008 at 11:14 PM. Reason : a]

8/11/2008 11:14:17 PM

Obviously, but running is running but there are 4 different strokes in swimming.

8/11/2008 11:14:53 PM

^^hmmm good logic

swimming and running are not that different (minus the field part)

i feel like the breathing/endurance with swimming is harder because you are in water

[Edited on August 11, 2008 at 11:17 PM. Reason : . ]

8/11/2008 11:15:17 PM

OH SHIT PHIGHT.

8/11/2008 11:15:51 PM

throw some hurdles in that pool for them to swim over and I might start to change my tune

8/11/2008 11:15:53 PM

running is only like 30% of track and field


swimming is 100% of swimming

8/11/2008 11:15:54 PM

Fuck yeah Phelps!!!!!!!

He eats 8,000-10,000 calories a day!

Hmm, a gay guy getting tackled and man handled by other guys and having fun in the locker room or swimming in a pool not around other people?

8/11/2008 11:16:49 PM

i dont understand why you guys are so impressed with that stat


^you sound like a soccer fan

[Edited on August 11, 2008 at 11:17 PM. Reason : dd]

8/11/2008 11:17:01 PM

^ because they have never been athletes past the HS level

8/11/2008 11:17:42 PM

What stat? his caloric intake? It's amazing!
