Shaq’s got a new television show in Shaq’s Big Challenge, where he trains overweight kids to get a workout and make something of themselves. What does he think has made them gain weight? Partially, it’s sitting around playing Nintendo.
“First, only six percent of all schools in America have mandatory gym. When I was growing up, I changed schools 10 times, and they all had mandatory PE. Second, the food we eat is a problem. We’re living in a fast-food society now. Third, kids aren’t as active as they were when me and you were growing up. They have Sega, Nintendo, Atari. Video games aren’t allowing kids to be as active as we were.”
He must not be familiar with the Wii or DDR. But yeah, all those other kids playing their Sega and Atari systems these days? Shame on them!
