New York Equinox is further distancing itself from Stephen Ross, an investor in the luxury gym chain who sparked backlash from some members after hosting a fundraiser for President Donald Trump.
Harvey Spevak, the company's executive chairman, sent a lengthy open letter Thursday morning apologizing for the"impact it has had on our community." He called the past week a"difficult time" and addressed Ross' role in the company. Equinox told CNN Business the letter went to all of its members. Who is the billionaire Equinox owner taking heat for backing Trump?"Mr. Ross is not the majority investor in Equinox," wrote Spevak, who joined the company in 1999.
It's not hard at all.Been boycotting Wal-Mart, chick fil a, home depot.....just to name a few, for years. My life is just fine. No need to boycott Shell because I never used their products anyway. Want change to happen...stop supporting shitty companies.
No it isn’t. Its amazing simple, actually. You just have to put morality ahead of instant gratification.
I see this as a form of voter suppression. “If you don’t like/vote/support my point of view then I’m going to try to hurt you economically”. What’s next? Only Republicans can get internet? Only Democrats can get electricity? We are divided enough, everything isn’t about politics.
Equinox difficult yes, impossible, no. I vote with my dollars everyday, and I do all I can to make certain I am not supporting any business or person who is supporting a man like DonaldTrump
Hillary cause this hateful divide when she refused to accept results of election and called the winners racist and deplorable. She said if Trump didn't accept results it would divide country and do irreparable damage, thus she knew exactly what she was doing. Hillary's legacy!
Cmon latCarlaHall you live in LA. There are thousands of gyms. You can get a new one, easy. Expand your horizons, meet new people AND PROTEST THIS MADNESS!!! This is the simplest thing to do. Hit these people in their pockets.
Boycotting a place who has a different point of view than you is ridiculous You don’t buy a cheeseburger for it’s political views or use an exercise bike only because the owner is a democrat . Grow up and realise all people are allowed different opinions
I feel sorry for liberals but it doesn't mean I would boycott their businesses! That would be MEAN! USA!
Not really. How difficult is it not to shop at Home Depot or not eat lunch at Chick Filet or not work out at Eqinox
