During the Miami Heat vs. Atlanta Hawks basketball game last night, NBA analyst and new Weight Watchers spokesman Charles Barkley was caught on open mic during a commercial break talking about “Weight Watchers” and the Atlanta Hawks team.
Barkley said:
“I’ve been on weight watchers three months, ” he said “I have to lose two pounds a week. I’m at 38 pounds now. They come and weigh me every two weeks. I ain’t never missed a weigh-in. Never going to. I’m feeling much better. But I ain’t giving away no money… I’m not giving away no free money. I thought this was the greatest scam going— getting paid for watching sports — this Weight Watchers thing is a bigger scam.”

To be fair, Barkley is not saying the actual Weight Watchers program is a scam. He’s saying it’s a scam being paid so much money by Weight Watchers just to lose weight.
