I am suing the federal government's body mass index for fat-shaming me.

IIRC, the cheerleaders circa 1980 had to have weigh ins. I think they had a 5 lb. margin from when they made the team, or they got pressured to lose weight.

My wife, who now has TWO PhDs, started as a flight attendant. She was weighed every day she had a flight and reprimanded if she was more than 5 lbs over target weight.

Can you sue your doctor for body shaming if they tell you to lose weight?

why do I guess everyone with a number 50-79 on the football team is weighed in each week, let alone a bunch of other guys
besides that, ever wrestler on our team is probably weighed in 5x per day.
I dont have a probably with this
I wonder if they publish the weights of the Womens BB team? I pretty sure they do the mens.

It's a delicate subject even for docs.

The good news is that they have decided there is a racial bias in BMI. The bad news is I think you're in the race they based it on originally.

Of course in today’s world ANYONE can sue ANYBODY for ANYTHING!

You'll be hearing from my lawyer for writing that!

Years ago when I worked for MetLife I suggested they reverse their famous weight-height chart from saying “this height should be this weight” to saying “this weight should be this height”. Guess my suggestion is still in someone’s in box? Or shredding machine?

Woody, fortunately my brother is one of the top criminal defense lawyers in the country (TRUE STORY!)

Unfortunately he’s refused to pursue my Moderator case against that McAndrew guy. ‍

When I was in the Blue Band years ago, we didn’t have to worry about fat-shaming the majorettes. Holy hell.

I just tell people I’m short for my weight. If I’m 6’ 4”, nobody questions my 255 - 260 pound frame. And, some look at me unsure of what I just said to them.

I have immediate skepticism about the entire lawsuit as a result of Shubin being involved

 

[MtNittany]

Andrew Shubin?

Why doesn't the University - who can piss away money w/ the best of them - just put him on the payroll?

Wouldn't that be cheaper?

My kid was in the Blue Band. They were on a tour bus for an away game. Unfortunately the blue sapphire had to fire a biscuit. I gather she had to go badly or you would wait till the bus ride was over. Anyhow, it was quite the fragrant episode, and a few kids called her the touch of brown for awhile after that debacle.

Average civilian would be horrified to hear the banter that goes on in the military. I can recall several "Did I really hear what I thought I heard?!?!" moments and soon learned NOTHING was off-limits. Fun times!

Operating Rooms used to be quite the same. PC patrol cleaned it up to “church-like”. Video cameras everywhere now .

 

[CvilleElksCoach]

When I was at psu I was a sports medicine major. One winter I was assigned as the trainer to women’s gymnastics. Marshall and Judi Avner were the coaches. The team was one of the top in the country. I remember many screaming arguments between team members and coaches if they were 1 1/2 pounds over at practice. I will add they were outstanding athletes winning the team and several individual championships. But they were also the toughest athletes I worked with at Penn State. I had to hunt them down and drag them into the training room for treatment.

That "word" ...fits Shubin to a T , IMO.
