Stephen Hawking probably can’t exercise. Also, (some of) the terminally ill.

Really? Quadriplegics can and should exercise? They just “think they can’t”?

you can ALWAYS exercise better if you’re currently not exercising “well”.

I feel you. I don’t really have beef with beauty pageants. I just thought it was amusing that the distinction between a bathing suit and athleisure is probably minimal.

gotcha. You just enjoy seeing people get upset. So... trolling.

Ok let me try harder.

You’re is just a different kind of purpose. The kind that doesn’t require sparkly sports bras and short shorts.

Are you able to swim? Swimming is a great, low impact exercise that can easily be modified... And is my personal favorite in cardio. :)

If the Miss America Teen pageant makes you feel bad about your life then you deserve it.

wait... those aren’t the teenagers competing in this right???

Yeah, I know & I agree with you! I’m with you on the depression, too. Sorry you’ve had a crash, that freaking sucks. *Hugs.* It was meant to be a bit of a tongue-in-cheek critique of our ‘fitness’ obsessed society (how it is endemic and the fat-shaming, ableism et al. that goes with that.) but it seems it didn’t come…

I’ve seen a lot of hypersensitivity on Jezebel, but this might take the cake.

these are...teens?

Btw, this is the very first Miss America.

Everyone can and should exercise.

Aww :(

Please tell me those aren’t teenagers in this contest?

MODESTY:

They can just wear all those Nike tennis nighties that nobody else wants to wear.

So we’ll just judge your body in a bedazzled sports bra and lycra booty shorts vs. a bikini. Baby steps.
