“Respect Is Everything”: A Day After Falling Prey to Body Shaming, Smiling Tua Tagovailoa Blasts Super Bowl XLIII Champion After His Nutritionist Comments Kicked Up a Storm

There exists an uncanny relationship between nutrition and physique. Following the concert between nutrition and physique in the NFL, Tua Tagovailoa has attracted some comments masked as advice. While many have moved towards developing a nutritional approach to sustaining one’s career in the NFL. Some have allegedly body-shamed those who chose a different path.

However, the Dolphins QB has refused to be undermined by those who use nutrition to hide behind their remarks. The latest response from the QB is a direct answer to the analyst who showed him little respect.

Tua Tagovailoa shuts down the ‘body-shaming’ analyst

No one likes to be called “fat” on live television, but an ESPN analyst chose to tread close to implying the same. Ryan Clark’s words left quite an impact on the Dolphins QB. In a world that has become a lot more sensitive than it was a couple of decades ago, the former Safety’s comments were not appreciated by Tagovailoa and possibly others. This motivated the QB to come forward and speak up in response to the analysts’ comments.

Tua Tagovailoa spoke to the media at a recent conference hosted by the Miami Dolphins. Dov Kleiman covered some of the responses shared by the QB and reported it on Twitter. Tua spoke about how the comments felt to him on a personal level. The Dolphins QB added, “I come from a Samoan family. Respect is everything.” He’d further add that his ability to fight back instead of shying away, “We are tough-minded people but if we need to get scrappy, we can get scrappy.”

Tua retained a sense of humor while speaking to the media, as he suggested that the former SB XLIII winner knew more about him than himself. Following the response and words that Tagovailoa shared, many might wonder what inspired such a response.

What started it all? The body-shaming word-off

The Safety turned ESPN analyst, Ryan Clark, has proved his mettle on the pitch in his NFL career. After switching to the newsroom post-retirement, he has been with ESPN since 2015 sharing his take on the NFL. But his latest take will find him in hot waters after he allegedly body-shamed an active NFL QB, Tua Tagovailoa.

The Dolphins hold a 1-1 record in the 2023 preseason after losing to the Falcons while beating the Texans in the following matchup. The bulky frame developed by the QB drew a remark from the analyst suggesting he hasn’t been listening to his nutritionist. He’d double down on his claim as he suggested that he has become thick while chuckling about it with his fellow analysts.

The Dolphins and the QB will hope this controversy fades quickly as they hope to step into the new season with a clean slate. But if the analyst and the QB continue their feud of words, the story will continue to appear on the back pages even after the season has begun.
