) -- Anytime Fitness in Wauwatosa is apologizing after appearing to offer an "I Can't Breathe" workout.
"I can't breathe" were the last words uttered by George Floyd in Minneapolis as he died in police custody. Protesters across the country, even here in Milwaukee, have chanted "I can't breathe" in solidarity. "I feel like it was more of a kneeling in protest of what’s happened with the police force. And not what it could’ve been construed as. That was just my feeling, although I have not lived the life of people that are protesting so I can’t say how they feel," said Chad Huffman, member of Anytime Fitness in Wauwatosa.
"I think fitness helps people come together and I think largely that’s what my message is. We can come together in a positive way to impact change. The message of the workout is more a rallying cry, it’s a symbol social injustice, directed towards social injustice," said Angelo Rogers, workout creator.
Again?
Yea apologies ain't going to cut it for something like that.
So tacky and wrong.
When these things come into people’s heads, what makes them think that would be a good idea? And what kind of a person comes up with ideas like that? I. Just. Can’t. Handle. People.
