Covering the business of education and training

Iowa State University researchers have concluded that one in 10 high school football players are severely obese.

It seems that obesity is one of the prerequisites to get into the NFL where 56% of the players fit the medical standards for obesity.

And...to think that Americans have the nerve to call Japanese sumo wrestlers unsightly.

Well, American football players do not show 90% of their skin when they play their sport...thank goodness.

Iowa State's researchers found that of 3,683 varisty linemen,

- 28% were at risk of being overweight,

- 45% were overweight

- 9% met adult standards for severe obesity.

Tell me again - Why do we want our kids to participate in high school and college sports? What kind of education do we want them to receive?

Where are the million dollar coaches in this scenario?

What do you think?
