Man Mountain United... Football league for FAT players is launched to coax obese men off the sofa into regular exercise

http://i.imgur.com/7KTGSYu.jpg

A new football league has kicked off in which players can only join if they are fat in a bid to get obese men off the couch and onto a pitch.

The competition is open to men who have a BMI of 30 or over. Participants need to score on and off the pitch, because points are awarded for both games won and pounds lost after each game. :lmao:lmao:lmao

Andrew Shanahan, 37, runs the Man V Fat league but ironically is too skinny to actually play after losing five stone to go from 17 to 12 stone.

Mr Shanahan started the league after getting fed up with weight loss classes which he said were filled with women.

Teams include Inter Pies, XL Legends, Beer Bellies United :lmao and Phoenix XXXL, with ages ranging from the early 20s to an impressive 69.

That ^ fat guy is about 45, an easy 350ish pounds, and effortlessly controlling a soccer ball with his feet.

That proves my point. It's a "stamina" game about all else. If you could somehow inject that old fatty with some decent stamina, he could probably make it as mid-fielder in the EPL despite being that fat and old :lol

[offset formation]

so like half MLB players would qualify


Yeah....due to muscle mass.

:lol Yeah, maybe there's a reason something like this doesn't exist in the beisbol world...


Baseball Is For Fatties, and Always Has Been

Baseball has never been about good nutritional choices or Herculean physiques. A 2010 Harvard University survey analyzing body mass index (BMI) found that more than 55 percent of professional baseball players are overweight.

Admittedly, BMI may not be the best gauge, because many professional athletes have huge BMIs, due more to muscle mass than fat. But take a long, honest look at the bodies in the typical MLB dugout, and it's pretty clear there are more beer guts than six-pack abs. Like it or not, the fatties of baseball are in the majority. :lmao
...

As one Twitter user pointed out, "I'd like to see the average BMI for the folks who mock Prince Fielder." It's funny because it's true. No sports fans are fatter than baseball's because no other sport insists on being watched while eating so poorly. :lmao


Sure, football has its tailgating, which is hardly the most heart-healthy of recreational activities. But baseball encourages consuming things like the D-Bag Dog, an 18-inch corn dog stuffed with cheddar cheese, jalapeños and bacon, a new addition to Arizona's Chase Field. And The Choomongous, a 24-inch Asian beef sandwich introduced to Texas Rangers fans this year. :lmao:lmao

That connection between players and fans, at least when it comes to body type, is what makes baseball so special. Nothing against basketball or football, but none of my friends is 6-foot-9. And every 300-pound guy I've ever met has trouble getting out of bed, never mind scoring 50-yard touchdowns. Most of the males I see on a regular basis—from Gary my neighbor, to Clint my mailman, to whatever the wine guy's name at Trader Joe's is—are built like Bartolo Colon. :lmao

A unique disconnect has always existed between baseball success and skinniness. In 1930, Chicago Cubs centerfielder Hack Wilson set a still-standing record while standing 5-foot-6 and weighing 1 pound less than the number of runs he batted in that year (191). In 1981, his rookie year, the hefty Los Angeles Dodgers southpaw Fernando Valenzuela led the National League in complete games, strikeouts, and innings pitched. The late San Diego Padres right-fielder Tony Gwynn, who once joked that he had a body "built by Betty Crocker," never batted below .309 in his 20-year career.


And the greatest baseball player of all time is a guy that John Goodman didn't even need to diet to play in a movie. Babe Ruth—who would have celebrated the 100th anniversary of his major-league debut last week—achieved a record-shattering 714 home runs, 2,214 RBIs, a .690 slugging percentage, and 29.2 consecutive scoreless World Series innings.


Ruth's weight, which fluctuated between 215 and a reported 265 pounds, actually helped him pelt the ball. Even though he once reportedly downed 12 hot dogs and 8 bottles of soda between games :lmao, nobody called him "a fatty cow" at the time—at least nobody rooting for the New York Yankees during his stellar years there.


Just to be sure I'm not being a complete moron here, I asked a baseball authority. "You're not," says Peter Gollenbock, the author of seven best-sellers about the New York Yankees. "If you're a fat guy and you can hit or pitch, then you can play. :lmao If you have one really outstanding skill, they'll forgive the others. Wilson didn't have to be fast to drive in lots of runs. Sabathia, being in the American League, doesn't ever have to bat or run.

This is all justified because Mike Trout is in shape, and apparently faster than Ronaldo.

You must have stamina in almost every sport, if not you are not an athlete, that proves baseball is for fatsos, what kind of athlete chews tobacco?
I could say the same for basketball, any tall dude with a little stamina could be a washed up MJ.
