jamieleeDPT_FNP This derelict doesn't even look like he should be commenting on Crossfit. It makes sense though, after a few years of doing that shit you wind up becoming a physical wreck. Done.

That should be Russ Greene, CrossFit’s *former director of government relations and research.

He still owns 100% of the company even after firing himself as the ceo. No board of directors. He already hand picked a replacement. We have to boycott crossfit to send a message. crossfitiscanceled crossfitisOver crossfitracist

People are to extremist these days. I thought he was a monster. He only said that the riots were a fail. I understand his comment. If you don't agree with the violent riots you are racist now. He even said that Floyd was murdered 'brutally'.

Best thing abt cancel culture is brazen bigots get their butts kicked.

Chile, you may as well gone head and take that company with you. Nobody wants to be associated with a pariah. I hope they sue you.

CrossFit? Geezer looks like he's a coronary looking for a place to happen! 😂

What did he say that was offensive?

'Those who know me, know...' Yeah yeah yeah, save it, your are a piece all right. BullCrap

moral of the story- stay off twitter completely or lose your job (possibly). it’s a cautionary tale.

Should have retreated wife of MLS player for LA Galaxy who wrote 'Black NIKEs Matter,' as the couple leave LA. Get to sign for another club..You won't be rehired so easy - CrossFit CEO Greg Glassman resigns aft offensive George Floyd & coronavirus tweets
