My Speech

  Boys, girls, classmates why are we ridden with them? Why do they resort to crime? Unfit lazy children are the things I’m talking about. Sport is our answer. I’ve seen old ladies being robbed. I’ve seen children spend days on end in front of the television. I have helped obese people get better. I have studied sports science. I understand the human body and it needs three things other than food water and oxygen. Exercise, exercise and exercise.

  Are you happy with the way you are? No. And for 85% of you the reason you are not happy with yourself is because of your weight and lack of fitness. We all agree that our lives are hampered with lazy lummoxes whose only reason to move is for the TV controls or for yet another bag of crisps. We are having to pay more taxes because hospitals are having to spend more money on sturdier beds because the old ones cannot support this fat generation. Our bodies have become incapable, incompetent and immobile. We are over run with disgraceful yobs whose entertainment comes from crime or “happy slapping” as it’s known. We only bring fatness, misery and ASBO s upon ourselves. This is our life.

Join now!

  Can we do anything? Is there a cure? Yes there is….. sport. We can be fit and healthy. We can have no criminals savaging our streets looking for entertainment, because they will be entertained. Sport can give us what we want. Whether it’s rugby, football. netball, hockey, basketball, cricket, rounders, baseball, tennis, softball, athletics, squash, rowing, swimming or many other sports. We will all be fit and healthy. Sport can help us burn off the fat. The sport can help distract young criminals. The future is bright if you join me; we can, we will be fit and healthy.
