This article is probably going to stir up some controversy. I personally think that everyone and I mean everyone is an athlete in regards to their capacity for expressing the human body through various forms of physical culture. But I am tired of pretty much anyone with a massive Instagram following with half naked selfies, lifting anything heavy, promoting an unhealthy body image, selling unqualified and uneducated nutritional plans, poor programming and pushing chemicals (aka supplements) calling themselves an athlete. Unless you derive most if not all of your income from your sport you arent an athlete in that context. If thats the case most the people I know are athletes and they dont promote the toxic rubbish the others do. t-nation/training/crossfitters-arent-athletes
