The American Psychological Association claims merit-based hiring is UNFAIR in new study, finding that persons under 5' 8'' are underrepresented in the NBA, as are biological females in the NHL and NFL, as are obese persons in professional track and field.

The Association accused the organizations of exhibiting phobias - including achondroplasiaphobia, gynophobia fatphobia - and demanded a reform of hiring practices and rules of play in order to combat inequality.

The APA asserted that members of marginalized groups in these respective areas tend to experience socioeconomic disadvantages more often than members of privileged groups. And that employees poor performance in each respective sport was 'probably a consequence of having less work-related experience' due to systemic discrimination in each sport.

The NBA, NHL and NFL have not yet responded, but the International Olympic Committee is considering means of inclusion
