This only confirms my original stance on the matter: Veganism is perfectly fine for your average Joe blow trying to improve overall health and nutrition but detrimental to athletes in a physical sport like football.

Anyone on the team a vegan that we know of?

meh, i doubt they controlled for preexisting conditions. a lot of people go vegan because they're already sick/frail and have dietary limitations that demand it.

show me a study of professional athletes who are carefully taking supplements with an engineered diet where they're all breaking bones compared to their indestructible carnivorous peers and i'll pay attention, otherwise this is just fluff for troglodytes who use vegan as a punchline to a misspelled joke on the internets

[BrianS]

I don't doubt this survey is valid for 95% of the population.

But pro athletes have other professionals working for them to make sure that every potential problem with their diet is addressed.  I can't see a very generalized study like that yielding any valuable information regarding pro athletes.

Ask any real dietician. There is no substitute for meat.

Anecdotal evidence is superior (sarcasm). This is why I can’t have a real discussion with half of you on here.

Have you tried eating meat? Maybe you wouldn’t be so angry and argumentative all the time.

This is probably because vegans leave their couch.

If by “no one” you mean the tinderbox clan you roll with then I take that as a compliment.
