I don't think it's a good idea. Message should encourage healthy habits. You can't say "it's your body, so go ahead and eat fast food, smoke, drink alcohol, ignore sports and have unprotected sex".

[sarillia]

"Ignore sports"? I've seen this sort of comment before but that's a new one.

[(Anonymous)]

Ignore sports as in 'don't practice any sport'.

[(Anonymous)]

You do realize that it is possible to be 100% healthy and in shape without ever having played any sport.

Sports are not the be-all end-all of exercise, for fucks sake.

[diet_poison]

thiiiiiis.

sports are so boring

[starphotographs]

And you have to do them with big groups of other people!

My "exercise" is just "playing outside" like a little kid. If I get stir-crazy, I tool around on my bike or go to the river or a park or something to fuck around. :P

[diet_poison]

The "other people" part doesn't bother me much - I'm an extrovert - but the part where the people who do play sports a lot are sometimes annoying people...(that's a generalization, of course, but in some cases it definitely applies)

I should exercise more, but I have just about zero interest in most organized sports.

[sarillia]

Most sports would seriously injure me so I'll stick with my other exercises that don't aggravate my arthritis.

Since I'm not a special snowflake, I'm going to assume that there are plenty of others like me who are ignoring sports with good reason.

Honestly, I don't care if they only have bad reasons either. People are allowed to make their own choices even if they're unhealthy. I'm not even going to touch the complexities of the intersections of weight, body type, and overall health. Try talking to an epidemiologist some time instead of basing your opinions on flawed general knowledge.

[(Anonymous)]

A question: do you consider any and all types of exercise to fall under the category of "sport?"

[(Anonymous)]

No. I should have chosen a better word, but I was lazy.

[diet_poison]

....such irony

[(Anonymous)]

lmao @ everyone getting so up-in-arms over sports being mentioned. playing sports is healthy. maybe they're not for everyone, but kids should be encouraged to participate in them.

note that i'm saying "encouraged," not "forced."

[(Anonymous)]

the problem with this is that (IME) physical education, in the US anyway, forces sports on everybody. Result: gym class teaches people who aren't good at sports to hate physical activity and associate it with misery and public humiliation.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, sure, blown-out knees and concussions are the epitome of healthy.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, 28-year-old me with sports-related dings and bruises from childhood that are just gonna get worse thinks that "sports" are super-healthy.

But seriously. "They're fat, they must not exercise" is such bullcrap.

[(Anonymous)]

I hear you, I'm really surprised that everyone's getting up in arms about it.

Like, I get they're not everyone's cup of tea and there's some injury issues within some of them, but they're a good way to exercise, which is part of being healthy.

[(Anonymous)]

I think it was more the suggestion by the original anon that everyone must play them, as if they're the only form of exercise.

[diet_poison]

Children should be encouraged to exercise. Organized sports are not for everyone.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't know, I think that all kids should play an organized sport at least once in their lives just because it teaches valuable lessons in teamwork that I don't feel I got the equivalent of from anything else. Even if it's just something like a kickball game in PE, it's a good experience. Nothing says they have to continue it throughout the rest of their lives.

[diet_poison]

alright, I can see where you're coming from with that. I do think it's a good idea to encourage kids to try different activities so they have an idea of what they like and want to pursue. It's also a good idea to encourage kids to be active and find fun ways to be active that they enjoy. If your kid tries sports and hates it, find something else. But I can see why having them try it once can be a good thing.

I do think there are other ways for people to learn teamwork - sports isn't the only thing that requires teamwork at all.

[(Anonymous)]

Mental health is just as important as physical health, so I don't see the point of a "message" that harps on one while damaging the other. And sending the message, "Your body is not okay, and you're wrong unless you're actively trying to change it" is damaging.

Besides, look at the catalog of things you just listed. They're all actions, behaviors. Discouraging behaviors is different from discouraging traits. By all means, encourage healthy habits, but stay away from shaming people about their bodies.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 Mental health is important, and it is also very tied into how people treat themselves. People who have been treated poorly on various levels are often more likely to abuse things like drugs, alcohol, and yes, even food.

I don't get why people think treating other people poorly yields positive results, obesity has been a problem for years and if bullying did the trick, then many people would have been skinny long ago.

[mechanosapience]

if bullying did the trick, then many people would have been skinny long ago.

This so fucking much.

[starphotographs]

You can't say "it's your body, so go ahead and eat fast food, smoke, drink alcohol, ignore sports and have unprotected sex".

Oh, can't I now? :P

Well, okay, yeah, it's a mouthful. You don't need that many specific examples. So I'll just say "Livin' my own life, unconcerned with yours."

[(Anonymous)]

Make sure you're not overweight, nevermind that it will cost you your mental health, sense of self-worth and confidence, and make you hate your body so much that you cease to be able to see it even remotely objectively and use punishing it as a coping method? Yeah, brilliant, that worked out great for me. So grateful to the people who were concerned for "my health".
