Greg Glassman, CrossFit CEO, is now apologizing after his controversial tweet responding to the death of George Floyd, an unarmed Black Minneapolis man who died on May 25 after a white officer kneeled on his neck for more than 8 minutes.

He shared his apology on the official CrossFit page on June 7:

“I, CrossFit HQ, and the CrossFit community will not stand for racism.

Floyd is a hero in the black community and not just a victim.

In a Medium article, published the day before on June 6 by Owner of Athletic Lab Mike Young, describes how Glassman openly stated his stance on the Black Lives Matter movement and his thoughts on the racial tensions in the nation during a 15-person Zoom call.

“I do not mourn George Floyd,” Glassman said.
