It's hard to tell what's going on from those Tweets but....
Glassman was actually being cool and suspicious of the BS quarantine lockdown and Floyd worship...
and he was attacked for that.
He even doubled down on it. But we'll see what happens.....

I can’t stand when people apologize for stuff like this.If you apologize after saying what’s on your mind the apology is fake so who cares.Every man is entitled to his opinion.
very weak ahving to apologize, what came out first, remains.
covid is a hoax, floyd is a dead violent felon, the insane left is going nuts over everything and anything and should be taken out and shot.
Holy fuck whatever happened to free speech? Let people speak their minds and if they don't agree with the majority get some balls and accept it. Like an adult."Reebok and rogue fitness ended their corporate sponsorship with CrossFit". I woke up this morning to this news and when I did read what he said in his tweet I was shocked. Shocked with how some fucking CEO saw the tweet offending and cuts ties with Crossfit. There's no fucking way the tweet is racist or offending.
People have opposing views. As long as they're not inciting violence who the fuck cares. And crossfit buddy wasn't.
Why can't we just be free to be non violent assholes?

How did this guy become a leader of a fitness empire?
Only in America.

Reebok and Rogue probably don't have enough gains this year to keep all their sponsorships and saw the tweet as an ideal justification to cut tie with Crossfit.
That's my explanation
Let's be honest the fad has about run its course. Overpriced jungle gym inside crappy rented buildings paying a franchise fee for a system.....social media meets Amway marketing.
CrossFit was always a ‘sport’ for libtards who hated bodybuilding and thought bodybuilding was ‘gross’ and ‘offensive’. Instead of trying to look impressive, they basked in their ‘functional strength’ bubbles, as if their lives regularly utilize climbing up the sides of buildings and ropes and walking on their hands. So no surprise at all that the libtard franchisees and practitioners are taking such grand offense at a commonly held belief.
Glassman retires.
Buzzfeed has a tape of a Crossfit zoom meeting with a Minnesota gym owner discussing Covid, George Floyd, etc.... Below are some choice quotes -
“I doubt very much that they’re mourning for Floyd,” Glassman said on the call about protesters and CrossFitters who were looking for the company to speak out. “I don’t think that there’s a general mourning for Floyd in any community.”
“Can you tell me why I should mourn for him? Other than that it’s the white thing to do — other than that, give me another reason,” he asked a Minneapolis gym owner who had questioned why the brand hadn’t posted a statement"
"Glassman speculated that the nightclub where both Floyd and his alleged killer, former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin, worked has “been under investigation by the FBI for over a decade for laundering money.”
“It's very interesting that George gets popped with counterfeits, and who comes but the head of security from the dance club? Watch: This thing's going to turn into first-degree murder,” he said. “That's what it's going to turn into. And it's going to be because I'm predicting this. We have friends in the FBI in your neighborhood, and they're of the view that this was first-degree murder and it was to silence him over the counterfeit money. That's the belief. That's what the cops think.”
“Moved to action? Burning the city down, is that the action? Destruction of Black- and minority-owned businesses, is that the action?” Glassman asked while speaking to a gym owner from Minneapolis who detailed what their members had been doing to help the community in the aftermath of nights of looting and protests."
"Glassman told the owners on the call that “killing George was wrong” before adding that “burning the town down was wrong, killing the Black cop was wrong, and the Black-on-Black murder every weekend in every one of our cities is a tragedy.”
“It sounds like more of the same. It sounds like punishing the cops. It sounds like blaming the police for all of the problems in blighted communities, and I don’t think anything could be farther from the truth. Have you ever done a ride-along with cops in a rough neighborhood?” Glassman said. “You don’t have to answer, but I have many, many times, and that is crazy tough work and almost all of the men and women are professionals.“
"During a lengthy discussion on the coronavirus, Glassman again shared more unfounded theories. “The Chinese let this virus get out of the laboratory, and that indeed did happen,” he said."
“I was asked by the Italians, 'What would you do, coach?' And I said, 'I would agree to any restrictions put on me by the health authorities, and I would open my gym, and then 10 minutes later I would do whatever the fuck I wanted. That's what I would do.' "
"Near the end of the call, when a gym owner suggested they were considering dropping their affiliation with CrossFit, another CrossFit headquarters staff member spoke to defend Glassman. “You’re not even approaching this with any compassion. You’re approaching this strictly with your agenda,” they told the gym owner. “Do you know how many Black people are going to be saved by CrossFit?”

Glassman didn’t say one thing that was wrong here. What an emotionally fragile society we live in today. Sad!!!!
Holy fuck whatever happened to free speech? Let people speak their minds and if they don't agree with the majority get some balls and accept it. Like an adult.
People have opposing views. As long as they're not inciting violence who the fuck cares. And crossfit buddy wasn't.

"Chinese" isn't a race. It's a nationality.
Using that same logic, that's like saying if Covid was released in the US and someone in China blamed "Americans", they'd be "racist"
