Are ballet dancers athletes?
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

One afternoon of horseback riding makes my entire body ache--back, ass, legs and arms. Those guys are athletes. Definitely.
Two and a half hours in a race car can take off ten pounds. It's a pretty intense workout.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I mean, if jockeys are athletes, then ditch-diggers are athletes
Competitive ditch-diggers are athletes.
F - tater tots, C - french fries, M - hash browns. I've been pondering it all this time and took a trip to Mickey-D's to figure it out. When I eschewed the Value Meal, I knew the truth.

I know racecar drivers--even local stock and sprint cars knock the shit out of you. My sister's ex built and drove his own sprint and he worked out all the time because it took a lot of strength to drive that car.

Hmmm.... are the Harlem Globe Trotters athletes?
(Personally, actually, I'm grey on calling Racing a "sport". I stick with "motor sport". But to me the drivers are deffinately athletes.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I will marry french fries, especially steak fries, if there are no breakfast potatoes (that recipe needs bacon) around. Chuck hash browns, because they are too often limp, and fuck tater tots, but delicately, because they rasp my mouth.
We were big on the croquettes when we moved to the UK.

I've never had a tater tot. I don't think I could pick one out of a potato line-up.

I'm not convinced jockeys are athletes. On the one hand, they do have to do contortionist poses in the course of their competition; but on the other hand, they're not the ones running the race, you know?
Dude, they're totally athletes. Jock and horse are a team, and if they weren't athletes, then any tiny little man with no body fat could make a living at it. Which ain't the case.
They're guiding a half-ton of extra-stupid, inbred horseflesh around a small oval (if I'm being NA specific) while going 35-40 miles an hour, finding the holes and the part of the track that's best, making sure they don't pull the trigger too early so they don't have a tired horse in the homestretch.
And have you SEEN them shirtless? Those guys are RIPPED.
(Female jocks, sadly, rarely pose that way.)
