BUTCHER 206 @BUTCHER 206 you're not doing fantasy football this year?
nah

I'll end up drafting some Seahawks and it'll ruin the game for me. Last year I would just pay attention to stats and not get into the game as much like a fan more like just looking at stats. I know for some people it makes football funner and it kinda did make the NFL as a whole funner but it took away from the Seahawks

Watching a home game while checking my phone constantly and shit fuck that

bmi is only applicable when you have 0 muscle

nfl running backs that are like 5% body fat are considered obese by bmi standards
BMI is an accurate general guideline for the vast majority of the worlds population. There are 1,700 NFL players, and over 7.4 Billion people on the planet; your argument holds no weight just because there are less than 1% (being extremely generous) of outliers

The first study looked at 13,601 subjects (age 20–79.9 years, 48% men and 52% women) and found that 21% of men (1370 men) and 31% of women (2192 women) were defined as “obese by BMI”, but when measured by body fat percentage it was found that 50% of the men (3264 men) and 62% of the women (4384 women) were obese.
26% of the 13601 participants were “obese by BMI”, but by body fat percentage that number rose to 56%.
While the first study used bio-electrical impedance to measure body fat, which can be subject to many errors, the second study took data from a Bod Pod, a more accurate measuring tool.
The second study had 6123 participants, men and women were combined in the results. They were divided into three categories “lean/overweight/obese”.
When measured by BMI, there were: 924 people (15%) that were “lean”, 1637 (27%) that were “overweight”, 3562 (58%) that were “obese”.
When all the participants were measured with the Bod Pod, 29% of the people in the lean category and 80% of the people in the overweight category were obese by body fat percentage. 26% of the lean group was considered overweight by body fat percentage.
When BF% was measured, there were: 503 people (8.2%) that were “lean”, 523 (8.5%) were “overweight”, and 5097 (83%) were “obese”.
Only 4.8% of the overweight by BMI group were actually “lean” by body fat percentage. 0.2% of the obese by BMI people were actually considered “lean” by body fat percentage and 1% of the obese by BMI people were actually considered “overweight” by body fat percentage.

Seems to me the biggest fault of BMI is that it actually underestimates the amount of people who are obese rather than the other way around, by very large margins. 56% vs 0.2%, when examining body fat with more accurate methods.
