Well, shoot, I can do that. Anyone reading can do that! But why did something with such an incredibly - and I mean incredibly flawed "methodology" make essay it to the media? I suspect it's because just about anything related to fat in any way, showing how "rampant" it is, will make the cut. I'm ashamed to see this in print, frankly. |

| Nice use of a loaded word - rise - there. [Thanks, Anica and Jeannine!] Posted on April 17, 2005 in wadd Fat and Men. 7 comments. Wild Goose Chase, NFL Edition Anyone who doesn't see this as just plain silly... well.... It was announced recently that the NFL is getting too fat. Apparently there are more "obese" football players than ever, and for some reason it's a problem. Ah but there's one catch: the only criteria to wadd determine a player's fatness (and, for this report's purposes, wadd his health) was the BMI. The BMI! In the NFL! Okay, enough acronyms. Good BFBers (sorry - that's a good acronym) know that the BMI is inherently flawed. It doesn't take body type into account at all, so some or many of these fat NFL players could be very muscular. That's the stance the NFL has, too - odd ally, hm? The report calling football players fat came out in the Journal of the American Medical Association. But here is the worst part: this isn't even a scientific study, and it's getting play in the media. |
