Eating Your Way Out-Of-Town is the most king shit in any sport

Adriana Garcia, ESPN: Former Real Madrid and Italy star Antonio Cassano has revealed he gained 14 kilograms (30 pounds) in seven months while at the Bernabeu because he ate Nutella "directly from the jar."
Italian brand Nutella, a sweetened hazelnut cocoa spread, sponsored the Spanish giants at the time when the then 23-year-old Cassano moved to Madrid from Roma in January 2006.
"When I arrived at Real Madrid, I lost 12 kilos immediately," Cassano said in a conversation with former Italy teammates including Christian Vieri and Fabio Cannavaro.
"Then I gained them back. Nutella was one of the club sponsors and each month they would give us five kilograms of the product."
Considered one of the most promising forwards of his time, Cassano failed to shine at Madrid under his former Roma coach Fabio Capello and left after 19 months to join Sampdoria.
"When Capello arrived [summer of 2006], I scored two goals in two games and I felt like I was the king of the world," Cassano added.
"He replaced me in the first half against Lyon, I had an argument with him in Jerez and he withdrew me from the team. In seven months, I gained 14 kilos, I ate Nutella directly from the jar and I couldn't care about anything. I was disgusting."
Cassano, 38, had weight problems throughout his career and admitted his lavish lifestyle in Madrid damaged his playing prospects.
"My biggest mistake was the year-and-a-half at Real Madrid, because I did everything and more to ruin it," he said. "That's a huge regret."
Cassano joined Sampdoria on a permanent basis following his loan spell and would go on to play for Inter Milan, Parma, and Verona before retiring in 2018.

We all saw James Harden get the trade he wanted after miraculously coming out of quarantine looking like a 14-year-old-listening-to-Taylor-Swift-eating-ice-cream-all-day who just got broken up with.

If I ever became a professional athlete, I would also end up on the "this guy ate so much Nutella, we have to trade him list". There is no better taste in the whole world. When a professional athlete decides it is time to eat so much Nutella, he eats his way out of town, you throw up a mile high salute, and trade him, whether he wants it or not.

Telling an Italian male that they are sponsored by Nutella has to be like walking into a candy store and telling the kid they are going to take the whole store home with them. From age 3 until age 18, I would have a peanut butter and Nutella everyday for lunch. Kids in elementary school would have their boring-ass Peanut Butter and Jelly, their leftovers, their Mac and Cheese, their Bosco Sticks, and you know what, that was something for peasants. I didn't come around on PBJ's until probably age 11 because I was already flying private with my feet up, with the Nutella broads. Meanwhile, every other non-Italian kid was sitting with their prepackaged piece of shit Uncrustables. Their parents didn't have to grind for their sandwich like mine did. My mom had to spread a perfect 60-40 ratio (in favor of Nutella, obviously) onto the bread, slap the two pieces together, and manually take of the crust. We were doing it right, while every other white trash person was taking their PBJ's out of a cardboard box and then a wrapper...

There is nothing close to the Hazelnut spread we Italians love. God's Nectar isn't fruit, it isn't sugar, it isn't water, or even alcohol, but God graced the human race with the capability of creating a Hazelnut Chocolate spread that enhances the flavor of any sort of dessert you've ever had. I don't even know what a hazelnut looks like. What I do know, is that paired with cocoa, it is the perfect dessert that every Italian person loves.

Want to talk about the most diverse food of all time? Other than cheese, I think Nutella takes the cake. I'll take a Nutella fountain before I take a regular chocolate fountain. Put it on any fruit, infuse it into some Gelato (not ice cream, but gelato), but it as icing on a cake, put it on waffles, crepes, or as my man Antonio Cassno take the spoon, open the lid, and eat that shit like a DAWG.

Gaining 30lbs after joining your club? No problem. In my lifetime I'd say that my body weight is probably 90lbs of pure Nutella. Good for Cassano for eating it in moderation.
