John Salley Wants Vegan Witch Doctor Job With Detroit Pistons
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 8th, 2011 in Athletes-Games-Sports, Food & Drink, Nutrition-Health-Fitness.
John Salley is offering his nutritional guidance to the Detroit Pistons in hopes they’ll offer him a job in exchange.
Salley has gone so far as to create the perfect job title describing how he’ll get them on the right track–Player Development, Strength and Conditioning Assistant.
When Salley and Shaquille O’Neal played together with the Los Angeles Lakers, O’Neal nicknamed Salley “the witch doctor” for his ability to diagnose and treat ailments and get players feeling better again. O’Neal has at least cut red meat from his diet.
Will Salley use his magical spells to transform the diets of the Pistons?
In 2009, Salley gave his opinion on the professional athletes who suffered from “excessive meat consumption.”
“Most athletes have no idea how to eat. Most athletes have no idea that they’re suffering — proven fact. When you look at guys with bodies like Charles Barkley, Rich Mahorn, Patrick Ewing — you see how big Patrick Ewing’s gotten? They think when you get older you get fat. That’s not true. Not true.”
According to Detroit News, the Piston players and coaches may both need some Salley medicine, as they’ve suffered both physical and mental hardships during the season.
As long-time vegan who cured his cholesterol problems through diet, an advocate for more plant-based meals in schools and the star of a Reveres Diabetes PSA, Salley may have just what the veggie witch doctor ordered.
