Arnold Schwarzenegger has lost a corporate sponsor for his annual bodybuilding competition known as the Arnold Classic over comments the Hollywood star made attacking people who choose not to wear masks.
The founder of supplement maker Redcon1 has announced the company will no longer serve as a sponsor for any Schwarzenegger-affiliated events.
“It’s with a heavy heart and some genuine sadness, that REDCON1 has decided to discontinue any and all support for the Arnold Classic and the other Arnold related events around the world,” founder Aaron Singerman wrote on Instagram.
He cited Schwarzenegger’s recent comments made during a CNN interview in which the Terminator star called people who don’t wear masks “schmucks.” Schwarzenegger also said “screw your freedom,” arguing that mask mandates are like traffic laws.
“Anyone who says ‘screw your freedoms’ is un-American, and REDCON1 is a patriotic pro-freedom brand. We support freedom of choice,” Singerman continued.
“We don’t want Arnold censored or cancelled. We just can’t support his opinion with our dollars.”

Good,need more to grow some nads
Arnold cancelled himself.
He won’t be back from this.
Good! I lost respect for Arnold years ago. Couldn’t care less what his opinion is.
Don’t be too harsh. Ahhhhhrnold meant to say, “screw your maid!”
Anyone pushing "woke" or CRT, tell them, IN THE WORDS OF Tucker Carlson, to BUZZ OFF, DUMBO......
Never go full Costanza.
“We don’t want Arnold censored or cancelled. We just can’t support his opinion with our dollars.”
Well said. Too bad the left doesn’t understand that concept.
He’s not German.
Neither was Hitler.
Mr. Hitler, NYTs...
Well...he was better than Gray Davis. But he had behavioural issues and became the prototype for republican or rino bashing by organized fascist democratic party. His lack of political skills didnt help.
Was Ahhhhrnold wrong when he did what he did?
Lol. Such a classic line.
“I still can’t believe that BLM/Antifa and the rest of leftdumb haven’t taken after Arnie and made him change his last name.
German or not, his name could wind up getting him canceled.”
A student of Yiddish?
The sea was angry that day, my friends.
Good.
Get woke, go broke. Not that Arnold would even if he never made another dime for the rest of his life, but at least this sends a message - and not a “CANCEL” message, just one of “we’re not going to pay you while you undermine everything that we stand for.”
