I am sick and tired of all the fatphobia surrounding Zion Williamson

The greatest athletes in human history have always been much larger than the average person. Just sticking to basketball, did you know that Wilt Chamberlain weighed more than 300 pounds later in his career?

So I challenge RealGM, right here, right now. Name a great athlete under 300 pounds and I will name an even greater athlete who weighed more than 300 pounds.

You can't use the fatphobia excuse for a young millionaire athlete whose JOB IT IS TO STAY IN SHAPE.

This thread would have been more effective with Michael Klump as the spokesperson.

People talk about athletes bodies all the time. Comes with the territory.

There are obviously some people that are over the top and extra with their criticism....

But its still valid to point out when Zion is looking like he's carrying a little extra when he already has history with leg/foot issues.

Either a heckuva troll job or a sign that people are more sensitive than ever. Noones afraid of fat people. It can affect his job similar to myself hitting bars too hard from time to time on weekdays. Perhaps my employers are alcoholicphobic.

You can't really use older Wilt's weight to justify Zion weighing in at 300+ lbs. Wilt was much taller and kept himself in great condition.

Either you are fat shaming or Zion is 100% muscle. That's where we are at in RealGM...

The man is being paid Millions of dollars to stay in shape. He has access to a personal chef and private trainers. If he can't put down the Mountain Dew and donuts he's a fat idiot.

This isn't fat shaming a dude sitting behind a desk at the DMV. Zion's body is his career. His job is to practice basketball, play basketball, work out and stay in shape. Get paid MILLIONS on top of MILLIONS. **** his fat ass.

Of course you’d name a greater athlete…

Dude I'm technically fat, Zion is built like a brick shithouse.

Buuut it is a little bit funny how everyone calls 90's basketballers plumbers, and you've got someone who unfortunately has trouble managing his weight (everyones body is different) and he's averaging 30 ppg per 36.

Why do people act like heart disease isn't the #1 cause of death in the US?

Uh, being overweight isn't a "how you look" thing. It's a "how long are you gonna live" thing.

Are heart attacks not super popular where you live? Around here they are all the rage, everyone is having one.
