Charles Barkley pisses off Fat Acceptance Group over 'anti-obese' comments

Charles Barkley -- Fat Groups FURIOUS ... Over Anti-Obese Comments

Two powerful obesity organizations are having a hard time stomaching Charles Barkley's offensive comments about fat women in San Antonio ... and now they're calling for Sir Charles to apologize.

Barkley lashed out against the big boned community in S.A. on "Inside the NBA" last night -- saying, "Some big ol' women down there ... that's a gold mine for Weight Watchers."

He also said, "Victoria is definitely a secret [in San Antonio] ... they can't wear no Victoria's Secret down there."

The statements are not sitting well with the National Association to Advance Fat Acceptance which is now calling for Chuck to apologize, ASAP.

"Making slurs about body size is just as offensive as making comments about body color," spokesperson Peggy Howell tells TMZ Sports.

"One would think being a black man, he'd be more sensitive to having his physical body criticized. It's totally out of line. He should absolutely apologize."

The President of the Obesity Action Coalition has also issued a statement expressing "extreme disappointment" with Charles.

"As a former NBA player and sports entertainment figure, Mr. Barkley should encourage equality and respect among society and not look to shame or segment one population because of their size."

"Obesity is a serious medical condition and not a joking matter."

I think they are spending lots of money on food and keeping fast-food workers employed, son.

ThaVirus 05-07-2014 04:24 PM

Someone, probably fat, posted an article here that found fat people actually aren't as much a drain on health care as their regular-sized counterparts.

I didn't really read much into it but something about fat people experiencing higher rates of more serious medical issues and dying off before they can actually become a drain like healthier people do later on in life..

The only people who are truly a drain on the economy are the poor/unemployed.

Think about all the fat rich people man...spending TRILLIONS on food and XXXXXL clothes.

"Obviously you don't become a blue chipper like The Rock by swilling beer and stuffing bratwurst down your throat every day. However, on the other hand, if The Rock grew up here, in old Milwaukee, and he had to choose one of those overweight, beer drinking, bearded female pigs to call his own, well hell, The Rock would be doing a whole lot of sucking down of beers, just like a baby sucks on a pacifier, if you smell what The Rock is cookin'."
