Did anyone notice that all of the avatar characters look athletic? Now I don't know about all of you, but there are not too many athletic looking guys and gals at the poker games I go to. Wondering if this is a subliminal message?

.. Well they are in a locker room? So I guess they are athletic.

Plus it's "full contact" poker. Notice how many of them are somewhat bruised. Looks like the players on FCP like to get into fights.

I hope not. They mostly look like redneck athletes. I'm glad I turned them off before I started walking around wearing wife beaters and bringing beer to work.

The Daniel avatar is not wearing a wedding ring. What does that mean?

The Avatars are currently only on the download version of the game.

I"m just glad we have the option of turning them off! 
I hope eventually, they will expand the set and allow us to pick which one we want...

YES! Redneck athletes, thank you for hitting it on the head.
I was thinking "trailer trash" myself, especially because of the girl with shitty highlights, an "i
poker" belly shirt tattoo on her shoulder and flabby abs (because yes, when women play poker, that is EXACTLY what we wear) but yes, redneck athletes sounds pretty good.

The women are all sad .....political correctness was certainly not the goal of the design team. They need to do a lot better. In the meantime, I unclicked the avatar option
