This is actually a big deal. CrossFit, whether you like it or not (I’m not a fan) is at this point a major consumer brand. Not too long ago it would have been unthinkable for a brand this significant to make this kind of move.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoIt should be unthinkable. Do we really want social issues litigated by major brands slinging mud at each other? Imagine Pepsi publishing the equivalent article about how Comcast is evil.
- badfrog 7y ago> Do we really want social issues litigated by major brands slinging mud at each other? I agree the mud slinging in this post is pretty ridiculous, but I certainly like it when major brands refuse to do business with other brands that are harmful to society. For example, those that chose not to advertise on Fox News.
- ceejayoz 7y agoAnd, since you mentioned Fox News, look at the last tweet's date on https://twitter.com/foxnews https://twitter.com/foxnews. Boycotts have a long, storied history.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoI can respect a decision to simply not do business. Going on a rant about it just feels like an attempt to manipulate public discourse for Crossfit’s benefit.
