on his mobile phone during a live broadcast of the Bill Cunningham radio show
If I'm at the gym, I really hate it when someone is on the phone. It's not the right place for a conversation. A radio Interview? That's obnoxious.
I will also say -- if a black guy tells the news that a racial slur was spray-painted on his house, I assume he did it himself. We all do. This guy seems to have politics that I like (good for him) but he's telling me he's being a victim. I am not rushing to believe him. Sorry. Maybe this isn't about politics. Maybe this is about obnoxious behavior at the gym.
Peterson chose to conduct the radio interview in a room described as a utility closet on the first floor of the Equinox facility — near the lobby area. (The actual gym equipment is upstairs.)
“He had been making semi-frequent radio appearances by phone from that gym for six years,” Anthony Kohrs, an attorney representing Peterson, told The Daily Caller. “He finds a spot where there isn’t a lot of background noise. He never had a problem. He’s even been given permission by employees to use their offices.”
If that is all true, then he had permission and was not near the people using the actual gym. I repeat, if it is all true.
He was talking on the phone in a utility closet away from the exercise floor. What’s really obnoxious is people commenting without reading.
Actually reading the article before commenting will help you refrain from looking like an imbecile. The article states that the pastor was on the call in an out of the way place within the gym, presumably not in the workout area.
