Why is Keepa fat?

[Jiro]

He shouldn't be fat. He is a Blitzballer and he lives on a tropical island where there surely cannot be any bad foods. How can Keepa be fat?

[Xaven]

The tropical island point is the mootest point ever! Case-in-point: Native Hawaiians. They grow 'em big there. x]

[Rantz]

His name says it all, he keeps it inside.

[Mirage]

The same reason all fat people are fat: he eats too much and doesn't exercise enough.

A keeper doesn't swim around as much as the rest of the guys.

[crazybayman]

See Goldberg, the goalie in the Disney Movie, "The Mighty Ducks".

A lot of athletes are fat. Some people are just built differently; don't be all discriminating.

[qwertysaur]

he likes cookies. A lot

[Jiro]

Okay then, why is Datto so white? :monster: Same things as before!

[*Laurelindo*]

Some people are naturally fat and don't lose weight easily - but that doesn't mean they can't be well trained.
You might think it's because he mostly stays still in the goal, but even goalies need to have a good condition to be able to block shots effectively etc.

Besides, being chubby is quite an advantage when you're a goalie, don't you think? :p

[Rebellious Eagle]

Maybe Datto came from a different city? Like Bevelle.
Keepa's fat because then he takes up the whole goal, so the Blitzballs bounce safely off him. Still didn't help me from losing every Blitzball match I ever played. :|

[qwertysaur]

Datto is albino. :zombert:

[demondude]

Looks like he joined the forum! (http://forums.eyesonff.com/members/chubbzilla.html)

I would just like to express my absolute delight at reading this thread title and I lolled a-many.

The answer you seek is one of the following:

1. Keepa is on drugs that make him gain weight.

2. Someone cast Fatga on him and you can't Esuna it.

3. It's actually muscle.

4. He only recently joined the group.

5. ????

6. PROFIT

[blackmage_nuke]

He wanted some weight to stop him from bobbing out of the water all the time

[Jiro]

Also I noticed Datto and Keepa are both absent from this shot

Perhaps the Besaid Aurochs are quite mean towards their fat and pale teammates? :(

Although they love dem gingers amirite?

They made the Aurochs all look really hot in that picture. I don't know how that's relevant.

I guess, Datto and Keepa are just too darn plain.

[Slothy]

Dudes obviously a power lifter so being fat also makes him the strongest dude on the team.

[Old Manus]

Because everytime he makes love to Botta's wife, she gives him a biscuit.

Oh my god. :lol:

[G13]

'Cause he Keepas stuffing his face!

[ANGRYWOLF]

I think one of the networks did a show a few weeks back on samoans and why so many of them end up in the NFL.

So the fact Keepa is fat goes along with that.The topic writer obviously hasn't seen anyone from those islands (samoa) that imo resemble the islands where keepa came from.

[Monol]

whoa whoa whoooaa

who the bloody heck is the red head guy in that pic? O_o!?

khimari move over

i may have found a new favorite character :jess:

[TheSpoonyBard]

That's Botta, one of the defenders.

[Goldenboko]

He's not fat, he's just big boned :mad2:

[Toni]

Because he wants to be. Don't hate on fat people it isn't nice. :P

[Simen]

It's so that you realize he's the Keeper: it's a stereotype that the fatty is the goalie.

As the name doesn't speak for itself? Keepa? :D

[Toni]

I really had no idea this was a stereotype. I'm not much of a sports person, so meh. But now that this was brought up, a lot of things come to mind, so I guess so. <_< Oh well. He's still a darn good player when he's leveled up good enough.

I guess not.

[black orb]

>>> Keepa = Chilavert..:luca:

ANGRYWOLF isn't around any more iirc, but he obviously didn't pick up the sarcasm in my post. I find it quite amusing that he thinks I haven't seen any Samoans before :p I know quite a few large islanders, not just from Samoa :p

[DMKA]

He has a glandular difficiency.

[SaveOurSeeker]

Keepa is bloody awful though, he gets dropped pretty sharpish after the tournament. You wanna see how fat he gets then:D

[FF_Fanatic57]

You know what's terrible?

He ends up being a CRAPPY goalie, but if you keep him on your team for a very long time, he ends up with 99 shot :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Shiny]

He shouldn't be fat. He is a Blitzballer and he lives on a tropical island where there surely cannot be any bad foods. How can Keepa be fat?

Since when do tropical islands not have bad foods? Whatever Lulu was cooking took the whole damn day. Had to be a dead body.

Keepa obviously likes to retain his water unlike Tidus, Wakka, and those other guys who piss in the water.

Clearly, but then they shouldn't have the ginger there or the Mexican tattoo artist. If you're going to be discriminating, mine as well do it all the way, Aurochs. :greenie:

2. Someone cast Fatga on him and you can't Esuna it.

fatga. haha. now there's a spell i'd like to see ;)

[dambaz]

[Old Manus]
