NEW -- At CrossFit, Inc., sexism was a feature not a bug.

In 2012, Mr. Glassman agreed to pay a financial settlement to a former employee. Among many other incidents, during a company get-together at a bar, Mr. Glassman stood next to her and a friend of his and said, "Do you think we could teach this bitch to give a good hand job?”
One day, his pilot @AndyStumpf77 drove him to the airport.
“We were in the car and he was chuckling,” said Mr. Stumpf, in an interview. “I asked why he was in such a good mood and he said, ‘I finally finished up with the bullshit with Julie; I had to pay that whore.’”

I have reported many stories in my day, and I& #39;ve heard a lot of things. But I have never, ever had my jaw drop to the ground during an interview as I did when a source told me about the WiFi password.
One former employee did speak in defense of Greg Glassman:
“I’m not into painting someone into an evil person just because he might have been misogynistic,” he said.

In a podcast interview for the CrossFit Journal Sevan Matossian, a deputy of Mr. Glassman’s, interviewed Stacie Tovar, a popular CrossFit athlete.

Employees were told to be flattered if Glassman wanted to "fuck" them.
“He& #39;d say stuff like, & #39;she’s so annoying, I wouldn’t fuck her if she spread her legs for me right here.’ The use of ‘whore, pussy’ was constant in referring to women in the community." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/20/style/greg-glassman-crossfit-sexism.html">https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/2...
