A man says he was asked not to wear a shirt supporting President Trump at a gym that he attends in Troy, Mo.
Staff Sgt. Jake Talbot says he has worn the shirt to CDY Fitness in Troy many times before but on Sunday, he says the owner asked him not to wear the shirt again, saying the shirt was offensive to her and others.
“I was just puzzled there for a second. She said that it was racist and represents racism and that’s when I when I was like ‘oh, you’re done," said Talbot.
Talbot says he finished his workout before posting his frustrations to Facebook.
“The owner Liz came up to me and said that Trump shirt I had on was offensive and said I needed to remove it in order to work out there, and that it is linked to racism. I hate the word, its used way too loosely. It’s 2019, get the hell over it, it’s not racism,” Talbot said.

Fool!
You don’t have a right to make me take off my shirt!
What makes me uncomfortable is the losers at gyms who spend all their time building up their biceps and then they have toothpick legs.
Talbot should have responded: ‘well, I will take my business elsewhere.’
But a Malcolm X shirt or hat would be OK...
He only called all whites the Devil...

Debating stupid just isnt worth it.
Isn’t it obvious that we can not live with these people any longer? They are trying, and far too often they are successful at putting us in a box not allowed to believe or express ideas that haven’t universal support from the left.

Another story on the same topic.
You don’t believe that the owner of a business has the right to control his business?
Depends on the contract, if any, the biz has with clients/members. If Drew violated it by telling the guy to remove his shirt, I hope she’s got a good lawyer.
I don’t have a problem with this if any owner can do the same for any reason they want.
Whenever ANYTHING is connected to Trump, it is then connected to racism. WE CANNOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS!! I guess it is because of the Wall, but that is not racism, it is ABIDING BY THE LAWS OF OUR COUNTRY!! I am so fed up with the Dems establishing a meme and their minions in Big Media just run with it. What lapdogs Big Media has become!!
So if I was uncomfortable because of the Hillary or Obama shirt a libtard was wearing she would tell them to remove it?
I call BS. Just a couple of libs doing what they do best, being aholes.
How many people wearing ‘hillary 2016’ shirts has she thrown out?
The biased media is sowing crazy division.
Che and Barack Hussein also a-okay.
I wear my AK47 tee to my gym and get complimented on it.LOL
No, the owner can’t make him take off his shirt but since it’s her private property she can kick him out if she wants to. In this case unfortunately that’s the way it is.
I’m about to join a gym where the owner makes a big deal about being the real judgement-free zone in a jab at Planet Fitness. I will see how much tollerance they have for some of my shirts.
