Just because they are winning easily doesn't make them not in a competition.
Are they winning easily? I thought the games were flat-out rigged.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I figger you're an athlete if it's a sport, but you can be extremely athletic in non-sport.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
He's raced at EldoraDude, historic track even.
He was racing with Jeff Gordon when JG was a little snotOh, Gordon's still a little snot.
(I like him, but even he cops to the fact he's a whiner. On national tv even. Which kinda made me like him more.)

Everyone is noticing the amazing restraint I am showing in not debating drivers as athletes and motor racing as a sport, yeah? A.Ma.Zing restraint. Has a safeword amounts of restraint.

I say we push it through as an emergency measure and agree to enact it based on a single up/down vote.
Now hang on. I think there needs to be a chance to add some amendments. For instance, I have this amendment to have all new thread titles point out just how awesome Starbucks(tm) is.

Yes, but then again I don't equate "athlete" and "sport". Despite any official definition, I generally reserve the term sport for something that involves a certain degree of athleticism, competition, and objective scoring. For example, yoga may be athletic, but I wouldn't call it a sport.
I have a friend who's a professional tennis coach. He works out as hard as his players (boy-howdy) and he makes a living at it. I'm always on the fence about referring to him as a professional athlete.

Well, he's certainly athletic, but, to me, a professional athlete is someone who earns his/her living from actually competing.

Yeah. That's the side of the fence I usually fall on.
Though he does make his living being an athlete...
It's ok, I like fences.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Now hang on. I think there needs to be a chance to add some amendments. For instance, I have this amendment to have all new thread titles point out just how awesome Starbucks(tm) is.
At this point, the only amendment I will contemplate adding to BHR 101 is that Gudanov be singled out for enforcement of the Shut Up Already Act.
Starbucks indeed...

Uh. I also have this amendment that all Buffistas owned property be opened for oil drilling. I'm sort of thinking that one should be put in at the end of the bill's text. In 4 point text. Colored yellow. Pale yellow.
