“He needs to take a big dose of ‘shut the [bleep] up' and hide out for a while. It’s sad,” CrossFit’s CEO Greg Glassman told BuzzFeed News.
A high-ranking CrossFit employee was fired after tweeting his support for a CrossFit gym’s cancellation of a Pride event, citing his belief that celebrating LGBT pride is a “sin.”
Russell Berger was the mega-successful fitness company’s chief knowledge officer, often de facto spokesperson, and a co-author of the Russells, a blog about scientific misconduct that he maintained with colleague Russell Greene.
"As someone who personally believes celebrating 'pride' is a sin, I'd like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout,” Berger wrote. “The intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing.”
At first, Berger was placed on an unpaid leave of absence. But later on Wednesday, CrossFit announced on Twitter that he had been fired.
Etc...
ANYTHING “they” say or do MUST be accepted and tolerated. NOTHING conservatives(everyday people) say or do will be accepted or tolerated. THAT is their take on it.
In reading the quote it appears the guy was saying celebration of pride was a sin and not just singling out gay pride.
Homosexuals can’t bear to have anyone remind them of their seared conscience.
If the founders could see what has become of the nation they gave their blood, sweat, tears, earthly possessions, and very lives (both their own as well as their loved ones’), they would probably think long and hard about whether it was worth the fight.
England had NOTHING on us compared to the leftist tyrants who have decided that their leftism is their religion written on tablets of stone, and all must bow and worship before their golden calf.
Either we will have Revolution 2 or our freedom will cease altogether.
Crossfit hates the first amendment. Nice to know.
Christians might have their own gyms... if it’s important enough to use them to send messages.
A business can require an employee to keep quiet about just about anything on the job, and some things in connection with the business.
- They wanted to not be beat up, reasonable request granted.
- They wanted to not be fired on the sole basis of their sexual activities, we said TMI, but somewhat reasonable request granted.
- They wanted to be accepted as part of the community instead of being outcasts, we said ok.. just don’t push your lifestyle above ours, request granted.
- They wanted to get married the same as normal husband and wife, and some of us said ok, a lot were concerned it makes a mockery of traditional marriage, request crammed down our throats.
- They wanted to have their lifestyles actively promoted as superior to the way god/nature had been running things, another request crammed down our throats by our so called “Cultural leaders in Holly weird”
- Now they want to be both a protected class when someone merely disagrees with them and also a “oppressed class” to justify their position as the protected class at the same time.... WILL WE SAY HELL NO?
If they did not understand “God has no grandchildren” then, they would now.
Hell will never make it possible to say no.
Heaven may.
And it still is a sin.
Its going to offend a “BENT” someone.I fixed it for ya.
I’m thinking of the Seven Deadly Sins...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_deadly_sins
Envy (Latin, invidia), like greed and lust, is characterized by an insatiable desire. It can be described as a sad or resentful covetousness towards the traits or possessions of someone else. It arises from vainglory,[35] and severs a man from his neighbor.[5]
Malicious envy is similar to jealousy in that they both feel discontent towards someone’s traits, status, abilities, or rewards. A difference is that the envious also desire the entity and covet it. Envy can be directly related to the Ten Commandments, specifically, “Neither shall you covet... anything that belongs to your neighbour” - a statement that may also be related to greed. Dante defined envy as “a desire to deprive other men of theirs”. In Dante’s Purgatory, the punishment for the envious is to have their eyes sewn shut with wire because they gained sinful pleasure from seeing others brought low. According to St. Thomas Aquinas, the struggle aroused by envy has three stages: during the first stage, the envious person attempts to lower another’s reputation; in the middle stage, the envious person receives either “joy at another’s misfortune” (if he succeeds in defaming the other person) or “grief at another’s prosperity” (if he fails); the third stage is hatred because “sorrow causes hatred” .[36]
Envy is said to be the motivation behind Cain murdering his brother, Abel, as Cain envied Abel because God favored Abel’s sacrifice over Cain’s.
Bertrand Russell said that envy was one of the most potent causes of unhappiness,[37][page needed] bringing sorrow to committers of envy whilst giving them the urge to inflict pain upon others.
In accordance with the most widely accepted views, only pride weighs down the soul more than envy among the capital sins. Just like pride, envy has been associated directly with the devil, for Wisdom 2:24 states:” the envy of the devil brought death to the world,”.[35]

Pride (Latin, superbia) is considered, on almost every list, the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins: the perversion of the faculties that make humans more like God—dignity and holiness. It is also thought to be the source of the other capital sins. Also known as hubris (from ancient Greek), or futility, it is identified as dangerously corrupt selfishness, the putting of one’s own desires, urges, wants, and whims before the welfare of people.
In even more destructive cases, it is irrationally believing that one is essentially and necessarily better, superior, or more important than others, failing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others, and excessive admiration of the personal image or self (especially forgetting one’s own lack of divinity, and refusing to acknowledge one’s own limits, faults, or wrongs as a human being).
What the weak head with strongest bias rules, Is pride, the never-failing vice of fools.
—Alexander Pope, An Essay on Criticism, line 203.
Real men join the military and try to get into one of the elite outfits.
Than they would know what a real workout is. Especially humping ammo, radio, and five days of “rats” over a freaking jagged skyline in the Hindu Kush or Waziristan valley.
That is a REAL workout.
CrossFit is a brand, so it needs a brand owner and the brand owner needs to make money off the brand. So it needs an organization to collect licensing or royalty fees, handle marketing, etc.
Where are all of the people who were appalled at the thought of firing NHL players for exercising their right of “free speech”?
And social media claims another one.
Isn't pride one of the seven deadly sins? Why, in fact, it is the first of the seven.
Looks like he was correct.
