[url=http://www.cdc.gov/obesity/adult/defining.html]"It is important to remember that although BMI correlates with the amount of body fat, BMI does not directly measure body fat. As a result, some people, such as athletes, may have a BMI that identifies them as overweight even though they do not have excess body fat."[/url]

It's true that things like BMI are used as a common indicator of being obese, but that's because for most people a high BMI correlates with having excess body fat. They classify as obese going by BMI, but aren't actually [i]obese[/i].

That doesn't help your argument

And the only reason European football is more "advanced" than South American football is purely economical reasons. Why do you think so many South Americans player switch to Euro league? Because of the money.

Obesity isn't just being overweight. It's being overweight because of excess body fat. So not necessarily.

American Football isn't even properly named. The same can be said about American Football. American Football is just muscular or obese people running around and slamming into each other.

I'd rather enjoy an American football party with beer, chicken wings, obnoxious rednecks and fried everything than go to a "football" party of a bunch of cheering Mexicans calling me "mijita." NFL has its perks.

1. South Korea beat England in Olympics. And the English coach thought they weren't a threat. Kind of England's fault for missing a penalty kick during the first half.
2. Latin America
3. South America (Brazil/Argentina)

Not at all. Although I have to admit they are good (Spain/Italy), nobody likes to see men running around the field acting like they are babies that can't handle a trip.
