You're mixing things up. Couch didn't get hurt on the rings by accident. He did it on purpose, as a sacrificial lamb. He gave up his elite athleticity so that you and I and the rest of the world could gain ours.Thud wrote:If you're afraid of getting hurt on the rings then crossfit doesn't want you, but if you're couch and you get hurt on the rings it's a lifetime pass to become a drunk slob.
CF doesn't want couch, and couch doesn't want CF.
Thank god someone thought of the RRG so couch can be insulated from himself.
If he hadn't of intentionally crippled himself, he would've gone on to be the greatest gymnast the world had ever seen... or cyclist... or weightlifter. Needless to say, even if he wasn't the greatest at any one of those things, he could sure as hell whoop your ass on the other two, which alone makes him the greatest athlete to walk the face of the earth.
By hobbling himself, Couch came down to our level, to teach us all the way to eliteness. The drinking is just his way of dealing with his tremendous sacrifice. Just imagine, you're well on your way to becoming the most elite athlete the world has ever seen, yet your love for others is so great that you would purposely throw yourself off a pair of rings and drop to the mat below like a sandbag full of grassy shit, just so you could help your fellow man.
THAT'S what Couch and his followers mean when they say he's given so much and continues to give til it hurts. His sacrifice is what it's all about. You heathens are too blind to see that.
