CrossFit CEO apologizes for 'tone-deaf' tweet about George Floyd after Reebok cancels its partnership with the fitness company

" and as a result, several affiliate gyms and brands – including Reebok – said they would end their partnerships with CrossFit."I, CrossFit HQ, and the CrossFit community will not stand for racism. I made a mistake by the words I chose yesterday. My heart is deeply saddened by the pain it has caused. It was a mistake, not racist but a mistake," Glassman said.

He continued: "Floyd is a hero in the black community and not just a victim. I should have been sensitive to that and wasn't. I apologize for that. I was trying to stick it to thefor their invalidated models resulting in needless, economy-wrecking, life-wrecking lockdown, and when I saw they were announcing modeling a solution to our racial crisis, I was incredulous, angry, and overly emotional. Involving George Floyd's name in that effort was wrong.

"It's our hope that his murder catalyzes real change resulting in a level playing field for our black brothers and sisters. Please hear me when I say, we stand by our community to fight for justice. I care about you, our community, and I am here for you."

 

Merci pour votre commentaire. Votre commentaire sera publié après examen.
