Part-time employee of The Barbell Spin, Matt Souza, and Heat 1 owner and The SPIN cast member, Tyler Watkins, answer the question, “Can the CrossFit Games survive?”
Souza lays the groundwork by starting with the clip of Greg Glassman explaining why he took CrossFit off of all social media back in 2019. At that point, as Souza points out, CrossFit lost control of the narrative.
They briefly look at the Games from a financial perspective, although there’s a lot of speculation because we have never actually seen their financials.
From there it’s really a conversation about how they think the sport of CrossFit can succeed. Maybe not even the CrossFit Games, but high-level competition.
Another takeaway is that Tyler really, really, really likes Crash Crucible. Like a lot.
