Drs. think Player are overweight

 

Did anyone else see this? Wow, players are getting big ... how long and how much did they spend to come to that conclusion?

 

Probably paid for by my insurance company, and they crunched the numbers at some secluded resort in St. Thomas.

I don't think 56% comes even close to be considered "almost all."

According to the article there are different levels

overweight (almost all)

obese (56%)

severely obese (almost half of that 56%)

and ...

morbidly obese

BMI and other gov't weight standards completely disregard any sort of athletic competency. I'm 6', 230lbs with 12% bodyfat*, giving me a BMI of over 31, so I'm considered obese. I'll second jzmack's stance. I weightlift 4-5 times a week, play hockey three times and throw in a couple cardio days. BMI was created so someone could push their agenda.
