I like it.

To the "Racism is a Public Health Issue" meme, Greg Glassman of Crossfit said "It's FLOYD-19."

Crossfit isn’t for pussies like BLM and Antifa.

If you want to know who rules you, find out who you’re not allowed to criticize.

Evil Left Wing Today ignores the Planet Fitness Monster who emailed a Insulting and evil email to Members accusing them of racism causing thousands to Quit including my whole family .
The Manager of my location gave us and all her members or former ones the CEO email to tell him off since she was pissed by it too . The lefty rag was started by my grandmothers neighbor so we knew the old Commie and my Dad once told him off over his politics and lefty rag .

The endless end run around the first amendment. Whitey, you will speak only when you are spoken too.

If you are white, you cannot be anything but racist, so you must keep your mouth shut when it comes to blacks or their failings, even if you speak in jest. If you don't, blacks are free to beat the **** out of you.

On the other hand, if you are black, you are genetically incapable of racism, so you are free to say whatever you want about whites, and you are free to beat the **** out of any white who objects to what you say.

For those who need peaceful, non-racial exercise there’s always hiking on the Appalachian Trail... Oh wait, never-mind.

Our gym is giving up its affiliation with CF. I’m sure all the first responders and military among members love such capitulation. We are living in a very scary time.

That's what he said?

I don't know anything about Crossfit or what they sell, but maybe I need a new T shirt or some socks or something.

What is Crossfit?

Modified Crossfit has been adopted by the Navy SEALs and the USMC as a fitness routine. I have done it for years, on and off.
