Lets see, Florida on the first map is at 23.3% while Minnesota is 24.8%, the second link Florida has 23.2% obese adults, Minnesota has 24.8%, Florida has 60.8% overweight adults, Minnesota has 61.9%. You really aren't proving anything with Florida, which is one of the healthiest states in the country. Look at this map:
Not being obese does not at all equal healthy. Around my circle we call it skinny-fat, 140 lb-150 lb people without an ounce of muscle on their bodies.

I agree, like I said earlier to someone else, just because you are skinny doesn't mean you are athletic. With that said, being obese is definitely not healthier than being skinny with no muscles though lol.
This question is again entirely too generalized...
In the history of the NHL there are 2 players from Texas, 3 from Florida, 24 from California, 20 from Ohio, 83 from New York, 19 from Pennsylvania, 118 from Michigan, 200 from Minnesota
On the other hand most Pro Surfers come from California
Louisiana has produced the most football players per capita
California has produced the most football players in general
So again this thread is poorly crafted in my opinion.
I completely agree. Most posters on this thread seem to think that athleticism equals NFL, NBA or MLB. There's a whole slew of other categories that haven't even been mentioned like swimming, cycling, triathlons, gymnastics, soccer, etc. Far too generalized...
I just know athletics are a huge part of the every day life in FL. The majority of the kids I grew up with including me played sports growing up. There are parks everywhere with tennis courts, basketball courts, volley ball courts, baseball fields, biking/jogging trails, etc. all with free access to the public. I heard in NJ you had to pay to use pubic athletic facilities like tennis courts. Also High school sports are pretty big over here. The high school football games are huge and the community really gets into them.
Thats a douche like move. Obviously the OP included states in which most Athletes names come from. This does not mean the thread is lame because your state is not included. iT SIMPLY MEANS, OUT OF THE STATES LISTED, WHICH HAS THE MOST ATHLETIC PEOPLE.
What state do you always here someone being from or going to some tournament or champion ship? Florida, Texas, Cali, and Ohio. Easy. Other would probaably be states like: Alabama, Michigan, Washington (State) and Tennessee. but more than the first 4 states listed? get real. Why do you think in all sports you see a team from one of these states in some kind of champion ship every year? Come on really? Hockey? How much of the southern half of the country really can play hockey? How much of all the country can play basketball or football? Oh okay.
