Greg Glassman, more of a piece of shit than we thought....well, frankly it's not surprising seeing how fucking awful he's been to anyone that has disagreed with him.

And the dude still owns 100% of Crossfit, lol, so glad I've never given that company a dime.

Those stories make up a big enough part of this thread that they shouldn't be much of a surprise. How he surprised the #metoo movement unscathed is beyond my understanding.

Turd,

Did you listen to the podcast? Telling a woman he was trying to sleep with that hopefully her deployed husband would die and become a HeroWod.

I listened to it. Interesting that the only detailed story he gave was one that only he, Couch, and the victim could confirm. He also said he didn't sign the restrictive NDA that @fit offered him-- so what's preventing him from going into more detail?

And Stumpf has been on multiple podcasts where he's discussed sexual harassment and #metoo and, to my knowledge, has never said shit until now-- the Metoo movement is two and a half years old, so he's had plenty of time to think about this, and lots of opportunities to say something. I'm wondering what he's angling for, or what couch has on him.

My initial thought is fuck Stumpf. I already knew Couch was a scumbag.

It could be bullshit, but it's likely more news will continue to drop now that the Crossfit community and many of it's leaders are turning against GG.

I don't know if the story is bullshit; this thread's exposed enough about couch's character for any reasonable reader of this thread to think it's within the realm of possibility. But the only way that it can be corroborated is for this woman to come forward-- which places the ball in her court. That's what this is bullshit.

Set the standard for your team every day through actions and maintaining integrity.
What you tolerate is your standard.
Resilience is the important ability to spring back from adversity stronger.
Seek adversity — take the hard road every time.
Think like and act like the leader you want to be.
Being an effective leader is the best way to change the world.

The above is what Stumpf teaches professionally. What a phony fuck.

Saying some of that stuff makes you a ripe target for claims of hypocrisy/being fake.

Not another peep yet. Either Andy Stumpf is lying or @fitters at HQ are more afraid of couch than actresses were of Weinstein.

Into the millions, bare minimum. Maybe tens of millions.
I'm pretty sure @Fit was on the down slope anyway, but this will ensure a fast circling of the drain. NOBODY will want to be associated with anything even remotely construed as racist now.
Maybe they could rebrand as RaceFIT? /s

I never saw any sexual coercion going on when I hung around the CFHQ crowd either.

I'm sure there were plenty of hoes who wanted the GG limp dick and his $100,000,000 ducats, no coercion required. Then again, a wealthy Jew #metoo'ing his cronies isn't exactly a new story.

Thanks! I had no idea that was an option....

"Morning Chalk Up reported that more than 1,200 affiliates had plans to disassociate themselves from the CrossFit brand. "

The company's attempts at spinning the info in the article is extremely unconvincing.
