The CEO of CrossFit will resign from his position and retire, days after his tweets about the coronavirus and the death of George Floyd.
"Your failed model quarantined us and now you're going to model a solution to racism?" he said in a subsequent tweet."George Floyd's brutal murder sparked riots nationally. Quarantine alone is 'accompanied in every age and under all political regimes by an undercurrent of suspicion, distrust, and riots.' Thanks!", writing"I, CrossFit HQ, and the CrossFit community will not stand for racism. I made a mistake by the words I chose yesterday.
But his apology came too late for some. Reebok told CBS News on Monday that it was ending its partnership with CrossFit HQ, and many CrossFit affiliates said they would end their relationship with the national program. His comments also drew ire from a number of prominent CrossFit athletes, some of whom said they wouldn't participate in the organization's annual CrossFit Games unless"major changes" were made.
