I share a recounting of the Lake Day event from various sources. I argue that these accounts indicate that there was unquestionable negligence on the part of CrossFit, Inc. and its leaders.
I share my emotional reaction to Lazar's death and what I experience as the oppressive, unfair leadership of CrossFit, Inc.
I suggest a way forward that must include a change in leadership at CrossFit, Inc.
For deeper understanding of oneself and others on moral issues, I recommend reading The Righteous Mind by Jonathan Haidt.
