The "CrossFit Culture" is a bunch of DORKS!!!

You forgot the “+” at the end of LGBTQ. Speaking as a non-binary, asexual construction grade cinderblock, I truly hope you have a good lawyer.

I wish he would’ve gone all the way and said something truly outrageous such as, “using a $180 Rogue jump rope doesn’t make you an athlete."

He would probably trigger an earthquake warning in Southern California and be hung in effigy at CFHQ , but at least it might offend people of ALL sexual orientations.

That’s sort of to my point- Crossfit jumped the shark a long, long time ago. The days of ‘edgy counterculture-ness’ are gone.

There’s just no reason to bother trying to make people mad in that community. He missed the boat on that shctick by about 10 years.

Berger is just an asshole, always has been. At this point the ecosystem has changed so much that it won’t support that type of dude.

Truth. You plays the game, you pays the price.*

I have never 'done' CF, but a lot of workouts have leaked to other gyms and workout groups, and there is a lot of cross pollination with the OCR crowd, so through those things I have been exposed. To me it's like any other fitness 'scheme', if it works, great; if not, move on to something that does.

*Yesterday my boss emailed a department-wide thing about "bullying and incivility," to which my snarky reply raised some eyebrows. Paying the price now.

I see an HR visit in your future.
 
Its weird, its like people think that CrossFit atheletes dont dope.

Except that people dope at literally every level of every sport, ever created for the human race. Also the interview with the CF executive made it pretty clear that they have a zero tolerance policy, especially for athletes who qualify individually or for the team events, at the CrossFit games. No sympathy from me.

It's weird, Crossfit front office think CF athletes don't dope. I was watching "Redeemed and something something", the newest Netflix CF special and they address PED's early- and literally all the brass said some version of, "we test the top athletes internally, that steroid culture just isn't even accepted at the rank and file gyms."

Uh, what gyms are they going to? Do they watch the games?
 
If anyone is planning to attend the games, let me know.

Beers (or your choice of libations) on me.
 
Marathon rowing isn't really impressive from this group of athletes since they do tons of that shit. The impressive and unimpressive stuff was the Crit race. Fuck Dave Castro, again. Get these people some cycling kit to wear, htf is that such a problem...like Trek sponsored the crit, Reebok can either shit out some shorts with shamois or Bontrager can supply.

CrossFit to Allow Transgender Athletes to Compete | Morning Chalk Up
I'm ok with allowing them to compete but they shouldn't be able to compete in the gender that they weren't born as.

Duuuuuude. I thought this was an onion article when I first saw it, then one of my friends texted it to me and I found out it was real.

In all honesty, the amount of athletes this is going to apply to is going to be so small it’s not worth talking about, but still.

Again, the constant malignment of social justice and ‘sex vs gender’.

ETA- Fraser and Claire-Toomey trying to close out a pretty impressive games in their own rights. Fraser is a beeeeeeast. Better than Froning.

Agreed, with an already minuscule portion of the population, I cant imagine there being a large amount of transgendered crossfit athletes at an elite level. Either way there are more important things to worry about, like how long McGregor will last against Khabib.

Also Toomey and Fraser are INSANE! Literally Froning who?
 
I think one of the things being overlooked this year in the games is that there are a lot of rookies doing extremely well, both on the men and womens side. Just continues to show that the sport is evolving, and there are some serious competitors showing up!

Mat Fraser and TCT? Absolute animals. I dont see anyone coming anywhere close to besting them this year.
 
So, I wonder how much Crossfit is paying CBS to carry the final day online...no linear windows. Sucks to suck.

ETA: the commentary is freakin awful

ETA2: Tia Toomey-FILTH

Fraser and Toomey were outstanding. But I think, if Vellner didn't break his bike to on the first event so early in, he would of been head-to-head with Fraser come the final heat. Vellner and Horvath next year will be the ones to beat.
