Reebok Ends CrossFit Partnership After CEO's Insensitive Tweet

Reebok has "ended its partnership" with CrossFit after the fitness brand's CEO Greg Glassman "made an insensitive remark about George Floyd on Twitter." Reebok in a statement said it would "will fulfill our remaining contractual obligations in 2020" before cutting ties with "CrossFit HQ." The controversy came after the Institute for Health Metrics & Evaluation posted a tweet stating, “Racism and discrimination are critical public health issues that demand an urgent response, wherever they occur.” Glassman tweeted the response, “It’s FLOYD-19” (FOOTWEARNEWS.com, 6/7).
