Yes, along with the spot on the board that they maintain in all other companies they invest in.

As "coach" has not told them too I would doubt they have done so. The truth only comes from coach don'tchaknow

If 50% is worth $20m, 30% is worth significantly less than $12m.

The more I see this issue addressed via an internet message board, the more I think it wouldn't be horrible for CrossFit to have some stakeholders with a more well versed professional background. I'm sorry, but this is starting to look like amateur hour.

They are acting like Anthos is going to make @fit into 24 hour fitness. What the fuck are they worried about? Financial responsibility? Accountability? Business direction to expand and market more efficiently?

It's absolutely mind boggling to me.

They are worried they'll be asked to sell supplements other than Progenix, or wear shoes other than Reeboks.

So @F won a lawsuit against a guy for cybersquatting on a bunch of @F URLs...

Well, www.AnthosCrossFit.com redirects to www.CrossFit.com . Weird how that works!

By contrast, Greene says, “Greg is never going to sell out. He’s not going to sell CrossFit any more than he’s going to sell his children.”

Right. Couch might not sell out his kid, but he'll try to essentially murder their mother by trying to have the plug pulled during a difficult pregnancy.

Greg won't be able to block a sale forever.

Is he completely insane?
