My point was...
...it seemed that you were putting others down to make yourself appear better. I'm sure you are slim and I'm sure you are athletic, I don't doubt that at all. But saying that "you are one of the few officials that do not have a beer belly or look like they struggle to get up and down the court" was a poor choice of words. Would you stand in front of your peers, your friends, your co-officials and say this?
Not everyone desires to work the NBA/WNBA. They realize they'll never be slim or athletic. A lot of guys/gals officiate to "give something back" or help out a kid's league.
Be proud of your conditioning. It is a great quality to have, but try to shy away from the comments that may offend others.
Now gimme some love, JR
