So many people have asked me this question, because they sound alike. Well, they are not, so please lets understand that. Even this morning, I am getting a lot of questions emailed and asked. Here is some letters from the various people that may explain more.
Freedom of Choice, I SAY NO
Lee Thompson claims competitors have the freedom of choice to compete in his new Organization, NOT SO !!! Lee Thompson is actually deceiving competitors with confusion of a 40 year established brand ( NPC National Physique Committee) for his own personal gain.
Lee Thompson should let competitors make that choice on their own, instead of deceiving competitors by using NPC Global in the hopes he can gain NPC competitors to his non-established Organization, that currently does not even really exist. If he has confidence in his own abilities, then why did he not create a business plan, with clear lines between each brand, and then and only then will competitors have the real “freedom of choice” he talks so much about.
Lee Thompson does have the right to pursue his own business, but why not build a Organization on trust, honesty, real choice, transparency of separation between NPC (National Physique Committee) and NPC Global. Why not stand up like a real entrepreneur ( as he claims over & over ) and call it something else, anything else. Clear up the deception and let the competitors make that choice on
their own.
He claims he built the largest NPC Event in 2015, giving no credit to Phil Health…the name of the show, which Phil Health was also his partner in that event. He also gave zero credit to the largest amateur Organization ( NPC National Physique Committee) to draw competitors from, including a 40 year infrastructure to support that Event. Do you think 5X and current Mr Olympia Phil Health’s name on that event had some influence on the success of the show, including the help of the NPC-USA...or was it all Lee Thompson ? He claims it was all Lee Thompson.
If he has a new direction of change, I am sure Lee Thompson should be able to stand alone and succeed on his own brand, rather than use a brand he did not create, but was established through hard work by Mr. Jim Manion (NPC). One thing Lee Thompson will never have, is the history of the NPC / IFBB and the opportunity to stand on stage with the best in the world. The “real” NPC / IFBB competitors want to follow in the footsteps of the the best athletes in the world. For some it is to be the best they can be, for others it is to stand on the Olympia stage and be considered one of the best competitors in the world. Lee Thompson can’t buy that and he can’t steal it… it can only happen in the NPC / IFBB
