When I was a kid, there was only 1 obese kid in my entire grade (of about 60 kids). Maybe 4 or 5 of the remaining kids were chubby (so "overweight" but not "obese"). And since the classes were relatively small and the sports teams segregated by gender, almost everyone made the teams. I remember that one year I didn't make the basketball team - I was really upset. But instead of whining and crying, I decided to turn my attention to my academics and won the school science fair that year (out of probably 250 other entries). But fats don't learn lessons like that from these sorts of situations. They would rather cry and REEEE and try to get as many "Oppreshun Points" as possible
