Stupid cunt.

 

[Shmuppers]

hoppla

 

[Alucrid]

Crossfit is a sport?

 

[nilbog21]

what does this have to do with crossfit?

 

[Pegosaurus]

eh

The guy doing a handstand on top of the holocaust memorial is a crossfit star. That was the most disgusting sentence I've ever written.

 

[FStop7]

what does this have to do with crossfit?

the person in the pic is a "famous" crossfitter or something

so therefore crossfit is literally worse than hitler

because if you're a terrible person and you participate in a particular activitity, that entire activity must be terrible

good thing no terrible people have ever enjoyed video games

 

[stufte]

distasteful, but he's not the first and definitely won't be the last.

 

[S-Wind]

Did this person not realize that that was the Holocaust Memorial?

If he did...

Then... Damn!

 

[Corpekata]

I've always found the hate crossfit gets to be a bit over the top (in that I hear way more people making fun of it than I actually see anyone into it) but in this case, I think it is apt. What a douche.

Crossfit is becoming more and more like a cult. Let's face it.

 

[old manatee]

Yeah his form sucks tbh.

becoming? It's been like that for atleast 6 years now.

 

[NomarTyme]

Fucking attention whore dummy.

 

[Skellig Gra]

Pretty dumb but I assume he's a meat head and doesn't even know what world war 2 was.

 

[stufte]

If only we had a televised debate with hitler, this would have never happened.

 

[thesoapster]

I'm pretty sure you mean functional fitness fanatic.

He probably thinks Pearl Harbor was a movie that made money.

 

[xDUMPWEEDx]

The only people who can do handstands are crossfit people.

 

[Maximus.]

Amazing how little respect that memorial gets. When I was there people were jumping all over it and doing dumb shit.

Your use of "hitler" is particularly tone-deaf considering what the person in the picture is getting blasted for doing.

 

[Grizzlyjin]

I have a feeling he didn't know what it was. There isn't even a snide reference or anything in the caption. Probably just a dumb guy

 

[Goreomedy]

It does baffle me how stupidly people act at memorials. Here in Oklahoma City, they're constantly having to fix the Murrah Building Memorial Fountain because idiots throw change into it, like it's the wishing well from Goonies.

I never said he was worse than Hitler. They could be tied for worst.

 

[CTLance]

What an idiot.

Spoiler

Dammit, my bias against heavily tattooed people is once again reinforced. =/

 

[Aztechnology]

That's Instagram type stars for you. I mean basically famous "Crossfitters" are social media stars/starlets no?

 

[THRILLH0]

Guy posts dumb picture, gets educated on how offensive it is, removes picture.

LETS RUIN HIS LIFE!!

No one's ruining his life but it doesn't hurt to laugh at him while we can.

It's probably because he is looking at it upside down.

I mean there must have been a sign somewhere before you walk into a place like that...

 

[Imm0rt4l]

Just watch Infinite Elgintensity's roasts on crossfit and you'll have all the reason to dislike crossfit.

 

[PSqueak]

I never said he was worse than Hitler. They could be tied for worst.

But you did damn the entire group of people who does crossfit, not just one stupid cunt who did this and got flak for it and we wouldn't even know was a crossfitter if you hadn't said cross fit was involved.

This thread comes off as "let's shit on something i don't like" rather than "look what a dumb person did".

I like to think it's both.

 

[TomShoe]

Chill out guys. He was probably an idiot and didn't know any better.

 

[PSqueak]

I like to think it's both.

And that makes it okay?

 

[ApharmdX]

Wow. This guy defines oblivious, self-absorbed, and inept.

Fucking attention whore dummy.

Redundant, as it's already been stated that he's a Crossfitter

 

[blackflag]

Crossfit is becoming more and more like a cult. Let's face it.

It pretty much always has been. It's funny. They work so hard and most look like they don't even lift and look terrible. Because scientifically crossfit makes no sense.

 

[JustenP88]

I've always found the hate crossfit gets to be a bit over the top (in that I hear way more people making fun of it than I actually see anyone into it) but in this case, I think it is apt. What a douche.

Yeah, in a country where almost everyone is fat as shit, it always seemed stupid that people would get hated on for working out "wrong."

This dude just proved that there is, in fact, a wrong way to work out.

 

[Permanently A]

They look like pretty normal blocks from that picture. Maybe he just didn't realize?

 

[commedieu]

That feeling the moment you realize you're being anti semitic...

 

[DAVIDHUXLEY]

We should drop leaflets and luxury goods.

 

[LyleLanley]

And that makes it okay?

I was joking, I don't think crossfitters are literally the worst people in the world (they're the second worst).

 

[Zom]

where are all the amazing gifs

 

[Wag]

Chill out guys. He was probably an idiot and didn't know any better.

Uh, Ignorance is no excuse, yadda, yadda, and all that?

I heard of dancing on someone's grave but that is ridiculous...

 

[Skellig Gra]

It's not normal at all. Not even remotely. Just google "memorial to the murdered Jews of Europe" and you'll see. Doesn't mean he did it maliciously though.

 

[Tagyhag]

What a dumbass, but no reason to vilify since he was quick to delete the pic. He could just be an idiot.

We should drop leaflets and luxury goods.

looool

 

[GustyGardens]

It think this speaks more about the ignorance of this fellow, rather than those who participate in crossfit.

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

He made a mistake and took the photo down. Let cross fitters do their thing and stop shitting on it. Better to have people be crazy exercisers than lazy asses.
