He's a fat slob who will likely die an early death unless he gets himself into shape after his NFL career is over. Just read that sentence again and notice how bizarre it sounds. LOL.
Perhaps he looks like a “fat slob” who will likely die an early death. From what I have seen of him, he understands full well how his image presents to people (and pokes fun at it) but people who have played with and against him have thrown that image prejudice in the trash after they have encountered him on the field of competition. 100% of people who know what it takes to be an athlete on an actual field of competition who have played against him would disavow you of your superficial analysis.
But if you say he isn’t an athlete, you really don’t know what you are talking about. Nothing personal there, but if you say he isn’t an athlete, without knowing anything about him, how can you say that? Based on his physical appearance alone?
What “objective measure” do you use to define an athlete? How fast he can run? How much weight he can lift? How high he can jump? And so on...
And if those are the “objective measures”, what are your parameters? Someone who runs the 100 yard dash in 10 seconds? 12 seconds? 20 seconds? Someone who can bench press 150 lbs? 250 lbs? And so on.
And who is the arbiter of those “objective measures”? The AMA? The NFL? The NBA? The USA?
You?
I don’t really know what “objective measure” you refer to.
