Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 4277949, member: 4"] I completely understand listing football players’ weights as it’s a physical game where players are trying to push the other player back. You want a 300 pound lineman, not a 185 pound one. Basketball is technically (not in practice but technically) a non-contact sport. Weight has nothing to do with strength or ability to play basketball so it is, to me, a useless stat. As for women being embarrassed about their weight, Blake, I‘ve known you for decades and know you don’t have a misogynistic bone in your body but that was not a very, um, modern statement. We are, or should be, waaaaaay past body shaming so, no, women’s aren’t embarrassed to be a certain weight. FIBA and Basketball USA list weights, the NCAA doesn’t. No big deal. I’ll be you the players don’t care either way. [/QUOTE]
