Take Action on Charles Barkley’s Weight Biased Comments!
Background: For more than a decade, Charles Barkley has targeted the women of San Antonio with derogatory comments, including several about their size. This behavior is part of the broader, damaging pattern of weight bias, and it cannot continue to go unchallenged.
Weight bias, especially when spread by someone with Barkley’s platform, has serious consequences. It negatively impacts both mental and physical health and continues to marginalize individuals living with obesity. His comments perpetuate a culture of exclusion, and we are urging the NCAA, TNT, and Barkley’s team to take immediate action.
