This Zoom call, which came before the tweet, was even more blatantly racist: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article...n-george-floyd
Like some of VF's favorite instructors, he and Crossfit have always leaned right-wing. I didn't know he was still with them; I thought his ex took over the company in their divorce. Well, he's not with them anymore and good riddance.

I was once a part of CrossFit.
Greg Glassman will lose money from the affiliate fees from gyms that decide to end their relationship. That is $3,000 from each. But there are thousands of affiliates, a few dropping out will not make much difference financially. But since he has stepped down, most will probably not end their affiliation. Yes, the company will lose the revenue from the Reebok sponsorship. But this move is not hurting Greg Glassman personally at all. CrossFit is his solely-owned private company. He settled with his wife several years ago (she was co-owner at the time.) He rakes in millions. He remains as the sole owner. Dave Castro, who was named CEO, is joined at the hip with him and has been, since CF started. Dave, I'm sure, will still be following GG's wishes. Or he'll be replaced ...
