Yes. Thanks for reading my article. Take care.<\/p>\n
Okay what the fuck? Why am I writing an article about politics, mainstream politics, not bodybuilding politics, but the kind of politics that you see on CNN and Fox News? Why am I writing something like that for IronMag? What does that have to do with physique-based sports? Well, it just so happens that we have a former governor of California who is the promoter of the second largest bodybuilding contest in the world. And that promoter also happens to be the most iconic bodybuilder on the planet. But we\u2019re not actually talking about that bodybuilder today. We\u2019re instead talking about Ramon Dino, one of the most celebrated classic physique competitors in the world. Now Ramon is not from the United States, Ramon hails from the land of Brazil. So, there is more reason that people might be dumbfounded by the fact that this is an article about politics on a well-known bodybuilding publication.<\/p>\n
The reason why I\u2019m writing this article is because Ramon Dino, one of the most popular classic physique competitors in the world, just lost hundreds of thousands of followers and there are people actively calling for him to be suspended from physique-based competition simply because he threw his support behind the mainstream left-wing candidate in Brazil. And not just a left-wing candidate, but the incumbent president who is running for reelection. That is why I\u2019m writing this article here today. But I\u2019m not just focusing on the inner workings of the political system in Brazil, rather, I\u2019m also going to be including some of my own personal trials and tribulations as a left-wing individual who happens to be a write and a left-wing dude who happens to be a commentator in the sport of bodybuilding. Now granted, whether you\u2019re right wing or left wing, it doesn\u2019t really matter in a sport about muscle, symmetry, and balance, right? However, when you\u2019re involved in the sport and you\u2019re on social media everybody is watching you. So, if I post something on Facebook that has nothing to do with bodybuilding, my bodybuilding friends on Facebook will sound off, and it will become pertinent to basically everything that I do in the sport.<\/p>\n
Now here in the United States of America we like to subscribe to something known as freedom of speech. We\u2019re militant about that here in the great old U.S. of A. But the reality of the matter is if you were to look at most promoters, regardless of the federation, or most judges, regardless of the federation, you would find that there is a common denominator. And that common denominator is that they\u2019re either republican, libertarian, or some variety of conservative. All those terms come down to one basic tenant. They are right-wing. So, if you\u2019re a liberal, a tree hugger, if you\u2019re an environmentalist \u2013 chances are you\u2019re going to be in the minority in physique-based sports. And unfortunately for Ramon Dino even though he\u2019s one of the most popular physique-based athletes in the world, the fact that he and his wife chose to publicly support a leftist candidate in elections, has cost him dearly.<\/p>\n
