Not only will CrossFit give out more than $2 million in prize money at this month’s global competition, the top men’s and women’s finishers will also receive a Glock handgun. CrossFit announced the prize Wednesday on Facebook and has faced a wave of outrage, including top sponsor Reebok, since.
“As the title sponsor of the Games, we unfortunately do not have input regarding other partners or promotions,” Reebok said in a statement. “While we understand CrossFit's foundations are tied to military and first responders, we do not agree with this decision, particularly in light of current events in the United States.
