I think the fat people who are really into sports develop that interest as a form of identity gymnastics. If you're fat, the people next to you on the Attractiveness Tier are (1) skinny yet ugly guys, and you're not skinny (2) other fat people. In your mind, you can convince yourself that you're "better" than those people by being really into sports; you're fat, sure, but by being associated with jocks you're at least not as bad as those other guys who don't care about sports at all.
