We’re always particular to slightly pudgy athletes that defy the odds. We realize most of them play baseball because there’s really no other sport an athlete isn’t canned for being a fatass. Take Manny Ramirez for example. He’s hardly emblematic of having an athlete’s “ideal” body, but the guy’s got a massive following because he’s great at what he does. Even though he plays for the BoSox, we say, “Thanks, Manny. Why do you play for a team the entire world hates?” Now, we can add another athlete to the mix of inspirational rotundalists: Ronaldinho, a.k.a. ‘Gordinho.’ The former Fifa World Player of the Year and Brazilian World Cup champ arrived at a charity soccer match in Venezuela looking rather hefty, but nimble. A video after the jump highlights that even though Ronaldinho is caring a five month old fetus in his belly, he’s still a force to be reckoned with.

Senor ‘Gordinho’, you’re officially our we-swear-we-go-to-the-gym-but-we’re-still-pudgy club mascot. Saúde!

Ronaldinho is back, still hideously overweight [The Spoiler]
