Hey folks,It’s a long one, buckle up. As many of you have already seen, we posted the following statement to Instagram yesterday. “We can’t stand behind the actions and words of @crossfit and are pulling our affiliation. They could have used this opportunity to address racism, to show their Black community they care, and to provide leadership. Instead they’ve made …
