Rogue Fitness Condemns CrossFit After CEO’s Controversial George Floyd Tweet
The brand is one of the most popular suppliers of CrossFit equipment.
Rogue Fitness, a main supplier of CrossFit equipment and the official supplier of the CrossFit Games, is distancing itself from the CrossFit brand after CEO Greg Glassman tweeted an insensitive remark about George Floyd and the current Black Lives Matter protests happening around the country.
On June 6, Glassman responded to a tweet that called racism and discrimination “critical public health issues that demand an urgent response.” Glassman’s reply read, “It’s FLOYD-19.” The tweet refers to George Floyd, a black man who died on May 25 when a police officer knelt on his neck for over 8 minutes.
The Rogue Fitness statement simply begins, “Rogue does not support the latest statements made by the CrossFit CEO, Greg Glassman.” The brand went on to call the comments “unacceptable under all conditions.”- READ MORE @ Men’s Health
