Data Suggest Obesity Is Rampant in NFL

Science journalism is often bad — really bad — but this takes the cake. Data Suggest Obesity Is Rampant in NFL:

It's no secret that size matters in the National Football League, but a new study suggests that a whopping 56 percent of NFL players would be considered obese by some medical standards.

Notice how the (correct) counter-argument is presented:

The NFL called the study bogus for using players' body-mass index, a height-to-weight ratio that doesn't consider body muscle versus fat.
