Lets clarify a few things....I used the wording "phased out" as it represents whats happening at the NPC level, by way of few if any numbers of FBBers showing up to compete. Without a direct pipeline to the pro division via the amateurs....the sport will inevitably die on the vine.
You can view my comments any way you wish, but they represent the truth, which is hard to swallow sometimes.
The WPD literally has NOTHING to do with FBB, as I outlined in my opening statement...it's just another avenue for women who like to compete, and not have to go to the extremes of FBB.
Trust me, if the "powers that be" wanted to consciencely "phase out" FBB, they could have done so a looooong time ago

I think the WPD is a great idea.
Too bad the way it was introduced was including the wording "phasing out" of FBB and the distinct impression that that is what was in the works.
Just bad wording on Bob's part, but what do you expect from a BBer

Oh, just stop with the charade. You generated the hysteria, got a few laughs, and now it's time to move on to the business of getting more hot bodies onstage.
You know full well that, even though the NPC and its promoters don't 'need' the money brought in by FBB entries and ticket sales, they aren't just going to get rid of that revenue stream.
And because there is net gain at the amateur level, the 'carrot' of IFBB pro status has to be kept in place for them along with the accompanying possibility for an Olympia qualification.

Perhaps you're unaware...but the "revenue stream" has been reduced to a "trickle"...at best
I.E.- all the dangling carrots in the world arent enticing girls to take up FBB...
The fact that there is little to no money brought in at the NPC level (as decreased numbers would support)...makes your point moot
