If you are a regular reader of the CrossFit message boards or comments section, you know that every once in a while, Coach Glassman contributes some very interesting remarks. This sharp comment he posted today in response to "Rationality" was just too good a burn to leave of of the blog:Rationality - Well, there are almost 2,000 threads about injuries on the forum, but Crossfit never injured anyone... no?
Coach -
Rationality,
If we got rid of the injury thread on the message board then we'd significantly reduce the injury rate? Would closing the doors of hospitals reduce the number of sick people?
Openly speaking of injury and rhabdo is a unique feature of this program. Be smart about drawing inference from our candor.
Your handle is a misnomer; it implies an acumen you clearly lack. I appreciate and understand your anonymity. Your thoughts would be an embarrassment to any name.
***REMINDER! - Tomorrow we will be hosting our free Saturday CrossFit workout on the UCSB Track at 10am.

Coach missed his point. He was saying that because there have been thousands of threads about injuries, the Navy Captain under discussion (who said that the potential for injury was one reason not to adopt Crossfit as a service-wide fitness regimen) might just have a point, and therefore that all of the vitriol directed at said Captain might be a bit over the top.

In my opinion you are mistaken. I can prove it. Write to me in PM, we will talk.
