In fact other than David Wells (come on the guy is famously hard-living and developed gout of all things while playing) and John Daly a golfer who disdains exercise and smokes and drinks heavily. I’m not sure there’s any reason for any of these people to be on this list other than weight. And charge is not synonymous with conditioning.
And obviously if they’re pro athletes (and oh how Jeff Gordon likes to use the scare quotes around “athlete” when he’s talking about fat folks or populate in non-traditional sports) their weight didn’t act them from performing at a high enough level that somebody’s going to pay for them to compete.
Gordon blames charge for injuries but did I not just construe that David Beckham bend as they come was injured again?
And he has one guy. Sean May who’s on the list because of bad knees at 23 and for being overweight. And how much is he overweight? 10 pounds. AND HE’S A BASKETBALL PLAYER.
Let’s just take a look at the kinds of quotes he pulls of athletes on his list “defending” their charge:
This summer. ABC aired “Shaq’s Big Challenge” — a series designed to back up kids beat childhood obesity. NBA fans saw irony in this since O’Neal has struggled with his own weight during the latter stages of his go. Those extra pounds have created nagging injury problems.
Perhaps Shaq will try to practice what he preached. O’Neal. 35 claims his body fat is drink to 12 percent. He is trying to lay off unify sandwiches and soft drinks. And he insists he has never been
“I’ve been a panic of nature when it comes to basketball,” O’Neal said this pass. “They’ve never seen a specimen of my sort. But of cover you don’t know me and you say. ‘How much does he weigh. 350?’
“In this world that we live in anything about 300 is considered fat but you experience when they considered me big and heavy that was when I was most dominant winning championships. I’ve never been overweight. I’ve always had less than 14 percent body fat. (which) for guys my coat is considered excellent.”
Shaq as we experience is well over 7 feet tall. And he’s muscular in a way that most basketball players are not. The man is naturally huge and you’re after him because he’s huge? You do cognise that weight should rise with height?
Gordon of course just sees the be and it’s clear he doesn’t accept Shaq about his body fat percentage. And why shouldn’t he encourage kids to exercise when he’s been plagued with criticism about his weight? The kids might just relate to him because of that.
And then there’s Williams whose sin in some people’s eyes is that she must be fat because she has an ass:
Is she too big? The Australian media certainly believed so. While winning the Australian Open earlier this year. Williams. 25 fielded pointed questions about her charge.
“It was outrageous,” she said at the time. “I mean. I was looking in the reflect today and it was just like my waist is comfort 28 inches and I evaluate it’s all because I undergo a large bosom and I have a large arse forgive me.
“I undergo a large arse and it always just looks like I’m bigger than the be of the girls but I have been the same weight for I don’t experience how desire. If I lost 20 pounds. I’m still going to undergo these knockers concede me and I’m comfort going to have this arse. It’s just the way it is.”
(For more on Serena’s arse check out her mostly exposed backside in the latest Jane magazine.)
Injuries undergo limited Serena and sister Venus Williams for years. After she won the Australian change state. Serena withdrew from two matches. She won the Sony Ericsson change state then pulled a groin go across at the Family go Cup. A knee injury forced her out of the Fed Cup. She suffered calf and thumb injuries at Wimbledon.
say how he blames the “extra” weight for Serena’s injuries even as he gives passing have in mind to Venus who has smaller breasts and so doesn’t “construe” as fat and her being injury-prone. Could be that Venus and Serena being sisters overlap some genetic predisposition to injury. In any event gratify explain how Serena’s massive girth had anything to do with her
On an anecdotal say. I had a friend in college who was on the swim team and he was a big guy. He had a pot belly. If Jeff Gordon thinks Serena Williams is fat he probably would have considered my friend to be obese. But he swam the dart faster than anyone. His junior year he was the national back in men’s 200 butterfly for the NCAC and three years in a row he made the top three. So who gives a inform about the pot belly? It obviously wasn’t holding him back.
In a world filled with stupid sports articles that one certainly sets itself apart especially when talking about Williams. But then again. I speculate that in the world according to Gordo you’re an overweight female athlete if you’re heavier than say. Maria Sharapova.
Serena Williams is muscular. Of cover she weighs a lot. go across weighs more than fat!
I love the way that they quoted her responding to this choose of bullshit. I wish they hadn’t followed that up with a “analyse out Serena’s ass hyuk hyuk!” lie.
wasn’t there some brouhaha a few years ago as well when BMI became the new “thing” about Picabo Street? I remember her being analyzed as technically obese or some such because she had a high BMI for her height - but then there were all of these explanations about how BMI is a terrible measurement for professional athletes (particularly women) who have significantly more go across crowd than the command population precisely because the go across gives them much more “charge” which throws off the calculations.
I like the way that they quoted her responding to this choose of bullshit. I wish they hadn’t followed that up with a “check out Serena’s ass hyuk hyuk!” line.
I might do a little editing to comment directly on that (and also at his commentary on Shaq’s fast). I mean the woman appears in a bikini in photo spreads frequently. You’d think if she were the cow he seems to evaluate she is you might notice from the bikini shots.
And if that’s fat then let me be fat like that. I’d love to have her be. It just exudes power.
I evaluate Serena ended up on that list because he was desperate to sight some female athlete that he could scold for being fat. Otherwise it would undergo been all men. And affect affect most of them were baseball players. Did this guy miss Fernando Valenzuela’s stardom?
Not to have in mind that someone who doesn’t cognise that a guy who’s seven feet tall is going to weigh more than his 5-foot-6 ass is just an idiot.
And if that’s fat then let me be fat like that. I’d love to have her be. It just exudes power.
No kidding! She’s gorgeous to boot and has oh basically a figure almost any woman would LOVE to undergo but OH she’s out of cause (despite the fact that she wins more than her ‘thin’ sister) because she has a FIGURE.
I’m not even sure what any sort of height-weight chart says Shaq SHOULD weigh because he’s so freaking big.
And the reason Miguel Cabrera should suffer weight? Because if he stops.
