Terry McAulay listens to a plea from Cam Newton:
That pic of Steve Zimmer is proof these officials need a weight mgt program. While I don’t expect all officials to look like Hochuli, they need to be in shape- plus that much belly fat is very bad for your health…..not a good image to portray
The league does have a program for general health and fitness, initially set up by Carl Johnson by a sports medicine center in his hometown. Understand your point, but even with a program, sometimes these appearance issues are not reversible.
I am all for rigid conditioning standards, but I also see no problem as long as an their lateral movement is not affected and they are able to meet minimum standards.
Maybe if they were fulltime.. Instead of worrying about their weekday job, they could devote themselves to a conditioning system.. Like NHL officials do
You may be right Ben but looking like that is asking for a major heart attack. You don’t want officials having coronaries after running down field on a play either. For his own good he should drop weight but that’s another story…..
