084 Response to the 2024 CrossFit Games

I share a recounting of the Lake Day event from various sources. I argue that these accounts indicate that there was unquestionable negligence on the part of CrossFit, Inc. and its leaders.

I share my emotional reaction to Lazar's death and what I experience as the oppressive, unfair leadership of CrossFit, Inc.

I suggest a way forward that must include a change in leadership at CrossFit, Inc.

For deeper understanding of oneself and others on moral issues, I recommend reading The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt.
