your whole story and this thread has basically nothing to do with crossfit, but you need to mention it twice? Why not say "sport"!

- nolanhanz 9y agoBecause CrossFit is not a sport, it’s a religion
- synicalx 9y agoReligion? Or just 1/3 of a pull up? (I fully expect to be crucified for this)
- sornaensis 9y agoI imagine if his wife was a tennis coach and he practiced tennis every morning, he would have brought up tennis specifically... Crossfit is a workout regiment anyway, not really a sport.
- jnordwick 9y agoHow can you tell when someone does Crossfit? Don't worry, they'll tell you.
- sethammons 9y agoHaha. Yeah, I could have left it off for saying I work out. I felt it was relevant for context on my wife's coaching.
- jnordwick 9y agoMy whole family (except me) does Crossfit. They even compete, and one of my brothers is a coach too. They even do paleo. I'm used to it.
- IgorPartola 9y agoFlight attendant: this man is having a heart attack! Is there a doctor on the plane? Passenger: I do CrossFit. Flight attendant: He might be dying! Passenger 2: I’m a vegan.
- dmichulke 9y agoCan anyone explain? I don't get it.
- sethammons 9y agoIt is a play on the observed phenomenon that many who are either vegan or into CrossFit bring it up all the time, even when it does not directly relate to the situation at hand. For example, my post above. The style of my workout routine doesn't add much to the context of long commutes.
- dmichulke 9y agoThanks. I thought there was a specific relation to people in medical emergencies ("heart attack", "might be dying"), but those words were just there for emphasis.
