Adding to the trend of women stepping away from competition:

@endtimeservant777 There must be something in the protein shakes down at Mayhem! God saves his hardest drug-tests for his strongest soldiers

@mb74 I just hope Roman is atheist

@endtimeservant777 Another athlete stepping down because wanting to do better isn't god-serving is wild to me.

@jhofste Honestly….good riddance. This is such a weird trend.

@afamilyundergod Baylee was like this before CF. Baylee grew up rich and doesn’t need the $14 a year she makes from fast exercise. This decision has nothing to do with her low placements or limited fitness related income.

@afamilyundergod I haven’t been paying attention, what other athletes have dropped out?

@jhofste I'm tired of all the crossfit isn't an answer that the fans will understand so they gotta use god

 

[helpmyheart]

@jhofste She’s saying that competing took over too much of her life so she’s focusing on something else that’s more fulfilling.

Wow the horror. Such a terrible thing.

Y’all are miserable.

 

[jhofste]

@helpmyheart All I said was I was surprised. You don't see any other religious pro athletes quitting because of "Fleshly Desires"

 

[helpmyheart]

@jhofste She’s not quitting though. It’s not a retirement announcement. She even said she could be back next year.

She’s focusing on something other than professional CF and made a video to explain what and why. Seems pretty simple.

 

[jhofste]

@helpmyheart Sounds like she quit this season to me

 

[helpmyheart]

@jhofste I’d argue that taking a year off to do something else isn’t the same as quitting, considering she said she could come back, but hey that’s just me.

How terrible of her to do something other than professional CF this year.

@helpmyheart The fact that you are getting downvotes for this is so Reddit.

@endtimeservant777 It makes me laugh when people try to argue that the over the top link between CrossFit and god isn’t weird (it really IS weird), and then we watch professional athletes leave the sport because of god “wanting them to do something else”.

I must have missed all the other professional sports stars leaving their sport because of god…

Or is it that god doesn’t like people doing CrossFit?

Or is it simply people getting busted and using it as a route out of being banned?

 

[jesusculture]

@jadex I bet if they were getting paid more their “God” would compel them to keep Crossfitting

 

[jadex]

@jesusculture You know it would be true!!!! I’m surprised God isn’t asking the people winning the games and the big money to drop out, or maybe he appreciates their extra commitments….
