I’m not reading the comments section on this video for obvious reasons but here I’ll address some things I’ve heard have been said. Yes he’s free to say whatever he wants, he’s free to continue, he has free speech. He’s not free from the consequences of those actions. Yeah it’s out of context I’m not going to play his whole videos… OBVIOUSLY, but there was no real context he just interjects with gross comments that don’t even fit in with the conversation. I also pointed out “I’ve just cut out the worst bits” which yes, I have. Whichever way you slice it, they’re grim. As for don’t like it, don’t listen to him. I don’t listen to him. This was an exception because someone needs to say something. Why aren’t you following your own rules? Why are you watching my video 😂 Censorship- I’m not censoring him I don’t have any power to stop him saying these things clearly… he can keep saying it. I’m just saying it’s really problematic. Kay thanx bye xoxo
He is very degrading to women. I never watch his podcast. And clearly after this, never ever will. It’s one thing to speak your mind, it’s another to be just plain vulgar. I’m so confused why people are actually defending him on how he speaks to these female athletes. 😢it’s very sad.
I’m genuinely curious your reasoning on changing the pitch of his voice in all of the clips? Seems like a strange tactic to make him sound like a villain, as Clydesdale Media pointed out.
Sevan spreading the message of CrossFit got me back in the box and saved my life. 74 lbs down, no longer pre hypertensive, pre diabetic, and just was at the top of my local box’s leader board for a rowing work out. He also regularly responds to my DMs when he has so many people messaging him. You’re missing out on an amazing person and message.
You mention how so many athletes are happy to associate with him, the. You show interview examples where woman are clearly comfortable, they say ‘Thankyou’. You even show the part where one lady talks about the effects of coming off birth control potentially increasing performance. This is a topic Sevan has explored with many women (most recently Annie) and it’s is a grown up, adult question which has relevance to performance. I wonder if at some point you maybe need to consider if you have the ‘victim mindset’, and if perhaps you should stop assuming that all woman are as uncomfortable and insecure as you. One obviously alarm bell for me was when I heard you say the words ‘basically insinuates…’. Nope’ when you say that, you are admitting to filling in the gaps with your own imagination.
Clydesdale Media exposed the editing chicanery already...showing clips out of context like the Stacie Tovar interview (who STILL goes on his podcast by the way) as well as altering Sevan's voice in the clips. Good effort on the woke grifting though
Maybe so many people give him the time of day because they don’t have a victim mindset, and they are confident in themselves and their ability to respond to everything he might say. Every time you say ‘basically insinuating’… you are aware that that is YOU filling in gaps based on YOUR imagination. I 100% agree by the way. Dani for sure wants people to talk about her body. Have you even looked at her grid?
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to express themselves. That includes you and Sevan. Sure, Sevan is unfiltered and occasionally crass, but he is also authentic, frequently insightful, and clearly caring of others. He shouldn't be canceled or smeared just because he doesn't conform or cater to your personal beliefs, struggles, and hang-ups.
When he interviews people he is very respectful! His questions are not malicious but, come from genuine curiosity, much like the way a child asks questions. I love Sevan because he's so honest and speaks his mind! He says the things that a lot a people are too afraid to say. You don't have to agree with everything he says but, I respect the hell out of him for having the balls to say it!
I really appreciate his curiosity. Dont agree with everything he says but that's actually part of the reason I listen. No growth if we only listen to people we completely agree. None of us have this thing all figured out.
I don't believe near nude pictures on instagram equates to liberation. I advise my daughters not to post sexy pics on social media because at some point your kids will see them one day. That's my opinion for what it's worth.
Liberation is different for everyone. For some it’s covering up. For some it’s being naked. Many women are totally fine with their children seeing sexy pictures of them. It doesn’t make anyone less of a person or deserving less respect just because they want to post and wear what they want. Would a man get the same judgment if he posted pictures that were similar? Unlikely. Noah Olsen is always half naked, always showing off his abs. The fittest wizard is always half naked and doing sexy dances. Do people question what his future potential children might think? I don’t think so.
Im more speaking from the viewpoint of a concerned parent who would rather know my daughters are protecting themselves. And also keeping certain things to yourself and their partners. I always advise my daughters to control everything you can on social media. However each to their own. 🙏
@@gripandhikekettlebells I appreciate you saying that it’s your take and opinion! And that’s what definitely works for you and that may not be what works for others. However, I think what Beth is trying to point out is that no matter what our definition of liberation is or what we post no one should be making the comments Sevan is making.
The dude was homeless lol. Its clear you don’t think he’s ever struggled just because he doesn’t sit in his shit his whole life. This video is just self projection. Don’t trip up my words thinking I’m hating on you because I don’t know you and I don’t care. It’s just interesting to watch a video listening to someone dive deep into someone’s channel and life who they think is heavily toxic. Maybe protect yourself and don’t watch his stuff if you’re so triggered? Or do you know that this topic would be a hit on TH-cam? Y’all are the same. Love, a woman.
Her first comment is I won’t read comments. But then we see her replying to people in the comments. How can anyone take this person serious. You lost all credibility at that moment.
I. Respect your opinion, as I can’t not judge for feeling n getting in that way. I’m a women, n never felt that way, he’s hilarious n like dirty jokes a lot. And I laugh my ass off all the time. I love his podcast n hope he keep that way. I will recommend u not to watch. Hope the best for u , keep crushing wods 😊
You can’t say someone is putting pictures out there on the internet just for themselves, not looking for comments or response. If you weren’t looking for the attention, you’d keep them on your phone, or have a private page. “Content” creators, like media of any form… wants eye balls and engagement. Otherwise they wouldn’t do it. They are profiting by being controversial and riding the line. You may not like it… but it’s the world you participate in.
Haha … nice take on your edited version of the interview … you left out the most important parts where ST brought up the subject of sharks being attracted to the boat …. This is click bait rubbish …. Viva Sevan …. Karin of crossfit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sevan is honest, and being honest doesn’t get along well with being politically correct this days. He says what most of the people think but doesn’t say because of the backlash of the horde. He could be creepy and cringe sometimes, because we all are somehow.
All of these top crossfit athletes know what is being said. They have handlers that setup these podcasts and this stuff is screened. The reason they continue is that he's a platform, they want recognition. He's risqué but on point with what he is saying. Like it or not he isn't going away and we can all grow a backbone a bit and learn to be mentally stronger when someone says something we don't like.
I agree with you on some points. However, you have to ask yourself this question: Someone taking up to a thousand or more photographs of themself, regardless of how they are dressed, and then posting them online, are not doing it for their own viewing only, but for the viewing or even validation from others. Most people may post a few photos of themself and a lot more photos of views, friends, family etc. But, when the majority of the photos are of the individual, the self, and is for others viewing, then that errs on narcissism, and when that happens it is going to open itself to criticism. That's just a fact. Personally, I'm not interested in looking at photos of Dani Speegle or anyone else for that matter. However, the guy on your video has just as much right to his opinions as you do. No hate on anyone here. But, live and let live. If you don't agree with him, don't watch him. It's that simple.
Even if all she posted was her naked that’s totally her choice. Yes he’s free to do what he wants but he’s not free from the consequences. How did you feel about the other points? Comparing Eric leading a company with depression to child abuse? The transphobia? Or how he takes photos of people in public? Seems like you’re just focusing on how much you don’t want to see Dani’s body.
This video is embarrassing. Anyone who ACTUALLY listens to Sevan and doesn’t take small snippets to try to slander someone would know he is one of the most kind hearted and honest individuals you/I wish we had in our lives. The fact you’re offended easily or at all is completely on you and no one else. Look yourself in the mirror and ask why. Stop trying to project your own opinion and insecurities on to others by posting a video on TH-cam for some weird justification from weak minded individuals. Do better. Also… 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Good thing you don’t have to watch anything that Sevan puts out. But of course you will because you like yelling victim all day so you have something to put on your TH-cam channel that nobody cares about. Sevan is the most real thing going in CrossFit right now and his team are the hardest working media in CrossFit and the only ones that will actually cut through the BS that your spilling. But I will say this,,,thank GOD we live somewhere that you and Sevan get to have there own opinions on things. God Bless America and keep it going CEO and team. Y’all are killing it.
Oh honey you’ve got some serious issues , what a comment, so much projection 😂😂 no obviously I don’t watch his videos I just did it for this video. You can shout “nobody cares” all you want but it doesn’t make it factual 😂
Sorry, but you can't go on and on about his comments about mental illness and then say that he's wearing a tinfoil hat. Didn't that expression come from belittling people with schizophrenia, paranoia and other forms of mental illness?
I've recently gotten into CrossFit and wanted to know who all the misogynistic "Sevanistas" were in the semifinals comments section. This was well put together, you're doing great work and you have a new subscriber❤
“I stopped watching the CrossFit Podcast years ago.. and never watch the Sevan Podcast” Proceeds to share a million clips from multiple Sevan Podcast and CrossFit podcast episodes. What I believe we have here is a Sevan fan in disguise who wants to use him to gain views.
OMG. I've got PTSD now. You are so strong and brave to review so much Sevan content, even though it makes you sick to your stomach! 🤣 One of the chief reasons this video will have no impact at all is that you come off as a lazy caricature of woke. It comes across as so performative. Someone who hasn't watched a good number of your vids might even mistake it for satire. I found it very amusing. Thank you.
Right. The last time I checked, I didn’t see her making any commercials about the L1 in her backyard or promoting a company that she was fired from. Basically grow some balls and quit crying on the internet.
I think what I hated the most about this video is that you came after the people that appear on his podcast… I don’t think that’s ok. I agree with you on some points and him on others… I can exist in a world where different opinions exist and I’m completely ok with that
@@sportybeth But they probably are aware and that’s ok. His podcast has toned down from years prior. He is an awesome advocate for health and puts on an entertaining show. He and you are wholistic and valuable people and I don’t intend on buying into a narrative that narrows people into two categories that I can either completely disregard or completely agree with…
@@beck8507 he is not an awesome advocate for health. He has an extremist mentality about what one can eat and is highly fatphobic. He thinks crossfit is some kind of holy grail and has a poor grasp of biology and any qualifications to even support health views. I don't think @sporty beth attacked the athletes but if someone were to make highly racist commentary and you join them on the show or worse they say it in your presence, it's unacceptable to do nothing. Transphobic commentary, attacking mental illness is not different
Thank you this is a great video. I started Crossfit in 2011 and as positive the media from crossfit was pro women it frequently was offensive as well. I found Sevan so cringey in his HQ podcast i quickly stopped watching. He always looked like he was trying to see how uncomfortable he could make the guests. The transphobia is awful and for those laughing that could be a friend or family member he is making fun of. You just never know. Love your content Beth!! I'm trying to get my first strict pull up and I'm so inspired by your gymnastics!!
I’m so glad you liked it, I’m exactly the same, I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2016 though and I remember watching these podcasts and feeling super uncomfortable and stoped watching. So glad you like my content ❤️❤️ you’ll totally get there. I do have a strict pull-up program if you’re ever interested. Xx
Omg, this guy makes me sick. I have not watched him for years now and same as you, I don’t understand how some people are still ok with him being a voice of CF. And Noah etc visiting?!
Im 53, his age is not an excuse. And it's not because he's a man. He's simply an ashole. Not all men are like that ashole. Please don't use the word toxic men. Its putting all men in a category. However i agree with you about how others should speak up about his bad attitude and behaviour. 🙏
I don’t believe that saying that he is toxic is accusing all men of being toxic 🙃 there are lots of men that are definitely not like this. I don’t understand why that assumption is made honestly. I’m glad you don’t think his age is an excuse
I am someone who follows and enjoys the content of both you and Sevan. There is a lot in this video to contemplate for both you, him and everyone. In my opinion the Sevan clips that you used do not represent the totality of the circumstances that were being discussed. While you are correct he is responsible for the words he chooses when speaking, I think also when we listen we have a responsibility to put ourselves in a mindset to understand the other person’s point of view and the message they are attempting to express. Being cognizant that we are all human and the nature of human interaction being prone to misunderstandings. I don’t even think you and he have greatly opposing points of view. And I do think it is appropriate for you to have made this video to give Sevan some constructive feedback that he can ruminate on. Which is one of his strengths, I believe. Some feedback from me for you is, in my opinion, in your video you seem to bring focus to those who have appeared on Sevan’s podcast in an attempt to influence others from not going on his podcast. Thereby attempting to silence him. Which is a bit below the belt and something for you to consider. As I said I do enjoy your content and think you are a strong female. With all respect stay badass!
It’s a Free Country Sweetie. He has support bc he is “The Man.”Dani can do whatever the hell she wants on her Socials. It’s sounds like you really don’t like him. Can’t you talk about anything more positive like your past?
Thank you for posting this. Sadly the CrossFit content of his shows could be good but the trash talk lowers the tone. I’ve stopped watching him for this reason also the misogyny is unacceptable.
If you post on social media. Then you are putting yourself out there to be talked about. Sorry that hurts your feelings. She is obviously putting picks out there to have people comment on her body. This is why she does it this way.
It also really doesn’t matter how many people spread hate in this comments section. What really matters is the hundreds of messages I’ve had from women and men today thanking me for standing up for them and others🥰
@@S_N_11 No one is spreading hate. People are calling you out for leaving out the context of the conversations AND changing the pitch of his voice. I believe in some of your replies you talk about consequences, well there are also consequences for insincere reviews. Also I thought you were not going to read any of the comments?
Seriously, Beth, if you find him so toxic stop watching him. And even if does make comments about DS that seem derogatory he does just as much of not more giving her accolades for the amazing athlete she is. I personally like his podcast cuz he's not FKN woke AF like so many. So he asks what some many consider uncomfortable questions and touches on topics many of us find interesting and entertaining. It's too bad you spew so much hate for him because if you didn't he'd likely help you grow the audience you don't have. You're salty get over it.
The comments on this supporting him/attacking you blow my mind! Agree with everything you said and remember that those commenting were probably those that had no issue with Glassman's stand on BLM.
oh shit :-D I thought it was a SEVAN video . Then i checked the channel and it said "Sporty Beth" and then I got even more confused. all good so far but one thing...why the rant on Sevan?
First , any hack can be a podcaster. A first year psychology student can recognize a deep seeded inferior complex rooted in sub standard ability to justify his manhood. In other words consider the source and ask yourself what makes him an expert?
I’ve seen all these interviews and while sometimes abrasive, he’s being taken out of context. Splicing a brief clip and not the entire conversation is a little disingenuous. He asks similar questions to both men and women…the conversations are usually very nuanced and the thought provoking. You don’t have to agree with his style and his points, but I hope you’re making that comment based on the entire conversation. Again I don’t subscribe to everything he says but, like most things, you can find some commonality even if you don’t like him nor agree with him.
I thought he was foul at first. I think he is 100 percent joking , and is trying to offend those who don’t get it. You are allowed to feel how you want.
The comments on this video reaching for justification in this kind of behavior. Women exist, they don't exist for your pleasure. It's mindboggling at this point that you have to explain this.
Beth you and so many others like you have to understand the difference between asking genuine questions and what you claim is ‘sexist, racist inappropriate’ and so on You cannot deny you took his comments out of context and created a wrong opinion! That’s a fact. Iv seen yours and his videos, he asks honest questions and you give biased accusations! Beth, you may not like him but he is not the things you say.
Even if that was true, so?! It doesn’t make it ok to make such horrendous comments. It’s also not true, lots of women follow her because she’s and incredible, strong and inspiring athlete.
@@sportybeth Come on. She'd have a fraction of her followers if not for all the sleazy pics. She's intentionally objectifying herself for $. Why would you defend that?
She can’t objectify herself. She is being objectified, people are looking at her like she is merely an object to satisfy men. She feels confidant in herself and empowered and that’s it. If you’re looking at her and reducing her to an object that’s very much a ‘you’ problem.
If you're in for a deep dive to CF Sevan is the way to go. You probably watched some of his work without knowing it. Beth is cutting out important pieces here, which is neighter respectfull nor helps understanding. But of course it's your right to not like some people or their content. Nice to have you joyning CF! Peace and love!
Really glad someone made this video. I don't watch him for this reason! I think a lot of people don't get that free speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism or consequences and the fact that his comments are not said in a vacuum - they're in an a oppressive context of misogyny, patriarchy, ableism, transphobia etc. Bodies aren't inherently sexual, the person looking does the sexualising. I suspect that the athletes do know - it's telling that Fusillier went off screen when he said the thing about her 'banging her coach' and I guess it's a case of this being their career and feeling like there isn't a better choice (in some cases) for the level of exposure etc.
Well said! “If they’re posting pictures they’re asking for people to comment on their body” has the same vibes as “But what was she wearing?” It’s clear from this comment section that so many people have a lot of internalized misogyny to unpack.
1. You edited all these videos to favor your opinion. 2. You changed his voice in this video. 3. You obviously didn’t listen to the entirety of these podcast and don’t understand the context. 4. You say Sevan was banned for misinformation. But this entire video was misinformation. That is all.
I’d never heard of this man before. What an absolute creep 🤮 Thank you for making this video, it’s so important that these people are held to account x
We already know her victories. We can see it through videos and posts on social media. What we don’t see is the biology and everything related to body health. Her victories were from her biology. She had the genes but the question is what she did in order to get her victories! As a female who aspires to be an athlete I know that training is needed, but what athletes take is just as important because is led them to being who they are today!
Why are you so obsessed with Sevan? Why do you continue to watch his podcasts if you find him so “toxic”? I bet you have a poster of him in your bedroom. 😂 😂
There needs to be accountability for what women post on social media. As a woman with the following that she does, its ignorant and childish to expect people not to make comments about her body when 80+% of the posts she puts up show quite a bit of skin and an air of sex appeal. One could even argue that despite her being a professional athlete, she wouldn't have near the following without posting that type of content. Just as we as people are free to say what we like, but not free from the consequences of what we say, people are not free from the consequences of the things they post. This video is virtue signaling and in support of women not being held accountable for what they choose to post
You know you make good points in your videos... about health and body image. I must admit my perspective on health and image has been skewed because of fitness industry and the body dismorphia...
Thank you for speaking out about this! What’s worse is there’s a large amount of people in the crossfit community that agree with him and use him to give validity to their own bigotry as well. I love the sport, but it will never grow as big as it could when people like him have a platform and following that loudly look down on marginalized groups. I was hesitant to join Crossfit as a queer person because of people like him and the reputation it gives to the sport. I hope some of the big-name athletes continue to speak out against him/his views, but seeing the backlash from his groupies is terrifying. Hope you’re doing okay ❤
CF experienced the most growth ever when Sevan was head of media. It stagnated since he left. You don't have to belive me, you can look up the numbers and the years when he was working there. Hope you can still enjoy CF - everyone is welcome! Peace and love!
Good video, thanks for speaking your mind. Those comments definitely make him seem like a complete twat. Props to you for not being afraid to call him out.
This video seems to be re-directing frustrations on Sevan. Very disappointing. Wish you the best and hope you to stop victimizing yourself and others (with very creepy tactics, such as changing Sevan's voice pitch. Scary).
Yes your health is your business. You do you and focus on keeping your power pure and strong. The athletes that appear on his podcast should take responsibility for in a sense helping him grow. However whilst i agree with you, i believe his freedom to say stupid things should not be censored but should be made aware of for others to see. Avoid his toxic energy and refrain from watching anymore of his absolute crap.
He’s absolutely free to say what he wants and he can continue. He’s not free from consequences. No censoring here. I find it funny when people complain about free speech. You literally have it.
I hate it because I really enjoy seeing Brian, John, JR etc.. talk about actual CrossFit news, rankings, programming etc.. but I have to give him the views and airtime to be able watch that hopefully they’ll move somewhere else but very doubtful

I’m not reading the comments section on this video for obvious reasons but here I’ll address some things I’ve heard have been said.
Yes he’s free to say whatever he wants, he’s free to continue, he has free speech. He’s not free from the consequences of those actions.
Yeah it’s out of context I’m not going to play his whole videos… OBVIOUSLY, but there was no real context he just interjects with gross comments that don’t even fit in with the conversation. I also pointed out “I’ve just cut out the worst bits” which yes, I have. Whichever way you slice it, they’re grim.
As for don’t like it, don’t listen to him. I don’t listen to him. This was an exception because someone needs to say something. Why aren’t you following your own rules? Why are you watching my video 😂
Censorship- I’m not censoring him I don’t have any power to stop him saying these things clearly… he can keep saying it. I’m just saying it’s really problematic.
Kay thanx bye xoxo
Cool, I'll block you now. Laters
The only reason we watched your video is because you put Sevan in your thumbnail, but you probably already know that
Admitting to taking it out of context. Bold move.
You say you don’t want to sensor him but yet you tried to report him. How does that make any sense
He is very degrading to women. I never watch his podcast. And clearly after this, never ever will. It’s one thing to speak your mind, it’s another to be just plain vulgar. I’m so confused why people are actually defending him on how he speaks to these female athletes. 😢it’s very sad.
I’m genuinely curious your reasoning on changing the pitch of his voice in all of the clips? Seems like a strange tactic to make him sound like a villain, as Clydesdale Media pointed out.
hope you find perspective soon, the world is a beautiful place when you don't go the victim route
Sevan spreading the message of CrossFit got me back in the box and saved my life. 74 lbs down, no longer pre hypertensive, pre diabetic, and just was at the top of my local box’s leader board for a rowing work out. He also regularly responds to my DMs when he has so many people messaging him. You’re missing out on an amazing person and message.
Well done on the weight loss. And your right about Sevan he is always preaching the good of CrossFit.
You mention how so many athletes are happy to associate with him, the. You show interview examples where woman are clearly comfortable, they say ‘Thankyou’.
You even show the part where one lady talks about the effects of coming off birth control potentially increasing performance.
This is a topic Sevan has explored with many women (most recently Annie) and it’s is a grown up, adult question which has relevance to performance.
I wonder if at some point you maybe need to consider if you have the ‘victim mindset’, and if perhaps you should stop assuming that all woman are as uncomfortable and insecure as you.
One obviously alarm bell for me was when I heard you say the words ‘basically insinuates…’. Nope’ when you say that, you are admitting to filling in the gaps with your own imagination.
Didn't know who Sevan was until I came across this video. Just started listening. Can't get enough. This guy is box office. Thanks, Beth.
Clydesdale Media exposed the editing chicanery already...showing clips out of context like the Stacie Tovar interview (who STILL goes on his podcast by the way) as well as altering Sevan's voice in the clips.

I 100% agree by the way. Dani for sure wants people to talk about her body. Have you even looked at her grid?
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and to express themselves. That includes you and Sevan. Sure, Sevan is unfiltered and occasionally crass, but he is also authentic, frequently insightful, and clearly caring of others. He shouldn't be canceled or smeared just because he doesn't conform or cater to your personal beliefs, struggles, and hang-ups.

It genuinely does not matter if you view something as liberating or not for someone else.

This victim card shit is getting old. The world's ain't all sunshine and smiles facts and the truth don't care about your feelings
Wow. You are sick in the head.
Why do you change the pitch for Sevan? Also why do you leave out all of the context?
This video is definitely out of context….
You can’t say someone is putting pictures out there on the internet just for themselves, not looking for comments or response. If you weren’t looking for the attention, you’d keep them on your phone, or have a private page.
“Content” creators, like media of any form… wants eye balls and engagement. Otherwise they wouldn’t do it. They are profiting by being controversial and riding the line.
You may not like it… but it’s the world you participate in.
Oh oh oh I cannot wait for Sevan to respond to this video.
Is this chick one of the twitter moderators that just got sacked by Elon for taking up too much space?
Obviously not
The only reason I clicked on the video was because I thought this was another sevan podcast episode…
You 100% altered his voice.
That kind of blatant deception, invalidates you.
Haha … nice take on your edited version of the interview … you left out the most important parts where ST brought up the subject of sharks being attracted to the boat …. This is click bait rubbish …. Viva Sevan …. Karin of crossfit 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Sevan is honest, and being honest doesn’t get along well with being politically correct this days. He says what most of the people think but doesn’t say because of the backlash of the horde. He could be creepy and cringe sometimes, because we all are somehow.
Y’all literally post half naked pics for validation and get mad when someone calls you out. W O K E 😂👋🏼
We don't hate you at all.....We love you all of you.
“Women are free to post whatever they want”
Sevan is free to post whatever He wants as well.
🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
True! What we’re not free from is consequences
@@sportybeth I don't think you know what free means.
Consequences of what???
@@sportybeth What consequences?
@@sportybeth You keep saying that as bullies always use threats
All of these top crossfit athletes know what is being said. They have handlers that setup these podcasts and this stuff is screened. The reason they continue is that he's a platform, they want recognition. He's risqué but on point with what he is saying. Like it or not he isn't going away and we can all grow a backbone a bit and learn to be mentally stronger when someone says something we don't like.
Platform? Literally never heard of this guy except for creepy incel shit
@@maderasteinberg If he wasn't a platform top level crossfit athletes wouldn't be on his podcast.
I agree with you on some points. However, you have to ask yourself this question: Someone taking up to a thousand or more photographs of themself, regardless of how they are dressed, and then posting them online, are not doing it for their own viewing only, but for the viewing or even validation from others. Most people may post a few photos of themself and a lot more photos of views, friends, family etc. But, when the majority of the photos are of the individual, the self, and is for others viewing, then that errs on narcissism, and when that happens it is going to open itself to criticism. That's just a fact. Personally, I'm not interested in looking at photos of Dani Speegle or anyone else for that matter. However, the guy on your video has just as much right to his opinions as you do. No hate on anyone here. But, live and let live. If you don't agree with him, don't watch him. It's that simple.
Even if all she posted was her naked that’s totally her choice.
Yes he’s free to do what he wants but he’s not free from the consequences.
How did you feel about the other points? Comparing Eric leading a company with depression to child abuse? The transphobia? Or how he takes photos of people in public? Seems like you’re just focusing on how much you don’t want to see Dani’s body.
I agree with this comment!
Introducing to the world... Crossfit Karen
You people are sick. Sick. I side with the Crossfit Karen.
This video is embarrassing. Anyone who ACTUALLY listens to Sevan and doesn’t take small snippets to try to slander someone would know he is one of the most kind hearted and honest individuals you/I wish we had in our lives. The fact you’re offended easily or at all is completely on you and no one else. Look yourself in the mirror and ask why. Stop trying to project your own opinion and insecurities on to others by posting a video on TH-cam for some weird justification from weak minded individuals. Do better.
Also… 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
well said!!!!
Good thing you don’t have to watch anything that Sevan puts out. But of course you will because you like yelling victim all day so you have something to put on your TH-cam channel that nobody cares about. Sevan is the most real thing going in CrossFit right now and his team are the hardest working media in CrossFit and the only ones that will actually cut through the BS that your spilling. But I will say this,,,thank GOD we live somewhere that you and Sevan get to have there own opinions on things. God Bless America and keep it going CEO and team. Y’all are killing it.
Oh honey you’ve got some serious issues , what a comment, so much projection 😂😂 no obviously I don’t watch his videos I just did it for this video. You can shout “nobody cares” all you want but it doesn’t make it factual 😂
Hey I thought you weren’t reading the comments.
@@lauraashleyvail656 “I’m not reading the comments” always =‘s reading and stewing over every one of them
Sorry, but you can't go on and on about his comments about mental illness and then say that he's wearing a tinfoil hat. Didn't that expression come from belittling people with schizophrenia, paranoia and other forms of mental illness?
I came here in an effort to understand what the problem was. I see the problem is you.
I've recently gotten into CrossFit and wanted to know who all the misogynistic "Sevanistas" were in the semifinals comments section. This was well put together, you're doing great work and you have a new subscriber❤
“I stopped watching the CrossFit Podcast years ago.. and never watch the Sevan Podcast”
Proceeds to share a million clips from multiple Sevan Podcast and CrossFit podcast episodes. What I believe we have here is a Sevan fan in disguise who wants to use him to gain views.
OMG. I've got PTSD now. You are so strong and brave to review so much Sevan content, even though it makes you sick to your stomach! 🤣
One of the chief reasons this video will have no impact at all is that you come off as a lazy caricature of woke. It comes across as so performative. Someone who hasn't watched a good number of your vids might even mistake it for satire. I found it very amusing. Thank you.
Virtue signaling at is finest
Why do you alter Sevan voice and taking clips out of context? Shame on you. Bashing something for the views. Karma works well as you will see.
Wtf are those comments
I couldn't diaagree with you more he does nothing but promote the sport and the athletes
Right. The last time I checked, I didn’t see her making any commercials about the L1 in her backyard or promoting a company that she was fired from. Basically grow some balls and quit crying on the internet.
You don’t get it….
I think what I hated the most about this video is that you came after the people that appear on his podcast… I don’t think that’s ok. I agree with you on some points and him on others… I can exist in a world where different opinions exist and I’m completely ok with that
No I didn’t, I said I don’t understand how others can support him. And several times I said maybe they aren’t aware, hence the video… 🤷🏼♀️😂
@@sportybeth But they probably are aware and that’s ok. His podcast has toned down from years prior. He is an awesome advocate for health and puts on an entertaining show. He and you are wholistic and valuable people and I don’t intend on buying into a narrative that narrows people into two categories that I can either completely disregard or completely agree with…
@@beck8507 he is not an awesome advocate for health. He has an extremist mentality about what one can eat and is highly fatphobic. He thinks crossfit is some kind of holy grail and has a poor grasp of biology and any qualifications to even support health views.
I don't think @sporty beth attacked the athletes but if someone were to make highly racist commentary and you join them on the show or worse they say it in your presence, it's unacceptable to do nothing. Transphobic commentary, attacking mental illness is not different
Thank you this is a great video. I started Crossfit in 2011 and as positive the media from crossfit was pro women it frequently was offensive as well. I found Sevan so cringey in his HQ podcast i quickly stopped watching. He always looked like he was trying to see how uncomfortable he could make the guests. The transphobia is awful and for those laughing that could be a friend or family member he is making fun of. You just never know. Love your content Beth!! I'm trying to get my first strict pull up and I'm so inspired by your gymnastics!!
I’m so glad you liked it, I’m exactly the same, I’ve been doing CrossFit since 2016 though and I remember watching these podcasts and feeling super uncomfortable and stoped watching.
So glad you like my content ❤️❤️ you’ll totally get there. I do have a strict pull-up program if you’re ever interested. Xx
@@sportybeth ohhh but you said you aren't reading the comments...
Omg, this guy makes me sick. I have not watched him for years now and same as you, I don’t understand how some people are still ok with him being a voice of CF. And Noah etc visiting?!
Im 53, his age is not an excuse. And it's not because he's a man. He's simply an ashole. Not all men are like that ashole. Please don't use the word toxic men. Its putting all men in a category. However i agree with you about how others should speak up about his bad attitude and behaviour. 🙏
I don’t believe that saying that he is toxic is accusing all men of being toxic 🙃 there are lots of men that are definitely not like this. I don’t understand why that assumption is made honestly. I’m glad you don’t think his age is an excuse
Except this is a common trait amongst men, and he is a man who is being toxic, therefore toxic man is appropriate.
'Not all men' shut up.
Oh my this is the problem with the woke! Lol
I am someone who follows and enjoys the content of both you and Sevan. There is a lot in this video to contemplate for both you, him and everyone. In my opinion the Sevan clips that you used do not represent the totality of the circumstances that were being discussed.
While you are correct he is responsible for the words he chooses when speaking, I think also when we listen we have a responsibility to put ourselves in a mindset to understand the other person’s point of view and the message they are attempting to express. Being cognizant that we are all human and the nature of human interaction being prone to misunderstandings.
I don’t even think you and he have greatly opposing points of view. And I do think it is appropriate for you to have made this video to give Sevan some constructive feedback that he can ruminate on. Which is one of his strengths, I believe.
Some feedback from me for you is, in my opinion, in your video you seem to bring focus to those who have appeared on Sevan’s podcast in an attempt to influence others from not going on his podcast. Thereby attempting to silence him. Which is a bit below the belt and something for you to consider.
As I said I do enjoy your content and think you are a strong female. With all respect stay badass!
It’s a Free Country Sweetie. He has support bc he is “The Man.”Dani can do whatever the hell she wants on her Socials. It’s sounds like you really don’t like him. Can’t you talk about anything more positive like your past?
Not cool Beth....not cool.
Thank you for posting this. Sadly the CrossFit content of his shows could be good but the trash talk lowers the tone. I’ve stopped watching him for this reason also the misogyny is unacceptable.
Aim higher, find someone with more TH-cam subs to make videos about to grow your followers. Sevan doesn't really have enough for you to see a bump.
If you post on social media. Then you are putting yourself out there to be talked about. Sorry that hurts your feelings. She is obviously putting picks out there to have people comment on her body. This is why she does it this way.
It also really doesn’t matter how many people spread hate in this comments section. What really matters is the hundreds of messages I’ve had from women and men today thanking me for standing up for them and others🥰
@@S_N_11 No one is spreading hate. People are calling you out for leaving out the context of the conversations AND changing the pitch of his voice. I believe in some of your replies you talk about consequences, well there are also consequences for insincere reviews. Also I thought you were not going to read any of the comments?
Seriously, Beth, if you find him so toxic stop watching him. And even if does make comments about DS that seem derogatory he does just as much of not more giving her accolades for the amazing athlete she is. I personally like his podcast cuz he's not FKN woke AF like so many.
So he asks what some many consider uncomfortable questions and touches on topics many of us find interesting and entertaining.
It's too bad you spew so much hate for him because if you didn't he'd likely help you grow the audience you don't have. You're salty get over it.
❤🎉love this comment
Top comment
Amazing comment!
Also, dani is asking for it. Narcissistic slag.
I was going to make a comment but you said everything I was thinking!
Thank you for this video. This needed said. I feel physically ill when I try to listen to his podcasts/videos.
The comments on this supporting him/attacking you blow my mind! Agree with everything you said and remember that those commenting were probably those that had no issue with Glassman's stand on BLM.
oh shit :-D I thought it was a SEVAN video . Then i checked the channel and it said "Sporty Beth" and then I got even more confused. all good so far but one thing...why the rant on Sevan?
This comment section is wild...
First , any hack can be a podcaster. A first year psychology student can recognize a deep seeded inferior complex rooted in sub standard ability to justify his manhood. In other words consider the source and ask yourself what makes him an expert?
The thing is, if you apologize for this video you would gain 30 percent of his followers. His following wants to love everyone just as Sevan does.
I’ve seen all these interviews and while sometimes abrasive, he’s being taken out of context. Splicing a brief clip and not the entire conversation is a little disingenuous. He asks similar questions to both men and women…the conversations are usually very nuanced and the thought provoking.
You don’t have to agree with his style and his points, but I hope you’re making that comment based on the entire conversation.
Again I don’t subscribe to everything he says but, like most things, you can find some commonality even if you don’t like him nor agree with him.
I thought he was foul at first. I think he is 100 percent joking , and is trying to offend those who don’t get it. You are allowed to feel how you want.
That's an underfunded guy if a have ever seen one.
The comments on this video reaching for justification in this kind of behavior. Women exist, they don't exist for your pleasure. It's mindboggling at this point that you have to explain this.
You're absolutely right about this. And the amazing thing is that he manages to be more offensive than even Andrew Hiller.
Yes! It is pretty shocking
I really appreciated this video. Thank you for your bravery.
Nice try Beth on trying to make Sevan look bad. It kinda back fired didn't it!? 🤣🤣
Beth you and so many others like you have to understand the difference between asking genuine questions and what you claim is ‘sexist, racist inappropriate’ and so on
You cannot deny you took his comments out of context and created a wrong opinion! That’s a fact. Iv seen yours and his videos, he asks honest questions and you give biased accusations! Beth, you may not like him but he is not the things you say.
I agree with you!!!! He has always creeper me out to listen to on TH-cam!
Sevan is right. The only reason she has a following is because of her body and she knows it.
Even if that was true, so?! It doesn’t make it ok to make such horrendous comments. It’s also not true, lots of women follow her because she’s and incredible, strong and inspiring athlete.
@@sportybeth Come on. She'd have a fraction of her followers if not for all the sleazy pics. She's intentionally objectifying herself for $. Why would you defend that?
She can’t objectify herself. She is being objectified, people are looking at her like she is merely an object to satisfy men. She feels confidant in herself and empowered and that’s it. If you’re looking at her and reducing her to an object that’s very much a ‘you’ problem.
@@Vii08 "Noooo, women can objectify themselves!" That sounds as ridiculous as saying black people can't be racist.
Why is that an issue? Why do you care?
I can’t believe I just gave you a view, how unfortunate, can I take it back?? You’re ENTIRELY wrong.
thank you for making this video. I'm new to the crossfit space and quickly decided his content was offensive and not worth my time or energy.
Haven’t you got the ability to read? That’s clearly what my comment says I did 😂
If you're in for a deep dive to CF Sevan is the way to go. You probably watched some of his work without knowing it. Beth is cutting out important pieces here, which is neighter respectfull nor helps understanding. But of course it's your right to not like some people or their content. Nice to have you joyning CF! Peace and love!
people are free to be, act and say what they like. others sre free to comment.
Really glad someone made this video. I don't watch him for this reason! I think a lot of people don't get that free speech doesn't mean freedom from criticism or consequences and the fact that his comments are not said in a vacuum - they're in an a oppressive context of misogyny, patriarchy, ableism, transphobia etc. Bodies aren't inherently sexual, the person looking does the sexualising. I suspect that the athletes do know - it's telling that Fusillier went off screen when he said the thing about her 'banging her coach' and I guess it's a case of this being their career and feeling like there isn't a better choice (in some cases) for the level of exposure etc.
You don’t watch him but know all about him…. Strange
Well said! “If they’re posting pictures they’re asking for people to comment on their body” has the same vibes as “But what was she wearing?”
It’s clear from this comment section that so many people have a lot of internalized misogyny to unpack.
I love this guy. Thanks for informing me about him. I also lost any respect for you.
Agreed. He’s a huge creep and so toxic. Thanks for speaking up!
1. You edited all these videos to favor your opinion.
2. You changed his voice in this video.
3. You obviously didn’t listen to the entirety of these podcast and don’t understand the context.
4. You say Sevan was banned for misinformation. But this entire video was misinformation.
That is all.
she had to speed his video up to conform to TH-cam guidelines and fair use...who gives a f
Wow. This is beyond dreadful. 4 minutes in, I quit. Vicarious victimhood is literally fashionable and it's awful.
This channel is comedy
I’d never heard of this man before. What an absolute creep 🤮
Thank you for making this video, it’s so important that these people are held to account x
We already know her victories. We can see it through videos and posts on social media. What we don’t see is the biology and everything related to body health. Her victories were from her biology. She had the genes but the question is what she did in order to get her victories! As a female who aspires to be an athlete I know that training is needed, but what athletes take is just as important because is led them to being who they are today!
Why are you so obsessed with Sevan? Why do you continue to watch his podcasts if you find him so “toxic”? I bet you have a poster of him in your bedroom. 😂 😂
She is asking for attention so people give attention to her by commenting and right now you are asking for attention by putting her story 😂😂😂😂
There needs to be accountability for what women post on social media. As a woman with the following that she does, its ignorant and childish to expect people not to make comments about her body when 80+% of the posts she puts up show quite a bit of skin and an air of sex appeal. One could even argue that despite her being a professional athlete, she wouldn't have near the following without posting that type of content. Just as we as people are free to say what we like, but not free from the consequences of what we say, people are not free from the consequences of the things they post. This video is virtue signaling and in support of women not being held accountable for what they choose to post
💯 agreed with this comment. I couldn’t have said it better myself 👏
You know you make good points in your videos... about health and body image. I must admit my perspective on health and image has been skewed because of fitness industry and the body dismorphia...
Sevan is a goat, he has dark sense of humor and a men's man... guys get it
Thank you for speaking out about this! What’s worse is there’s a large amount of people in the crossfit community that agree with him and use him to give validity to their own bigotry as well. I love the sport, but it will never grow as big as it could when people like him have a platform and following that loudly look down on marginalized groups. I was hesitant to join Crossfit as a queer person because of people like him and the reputation it gives to the sport. I hope some of the big-name athletes continue to speak out against him/his views, but seeing the backlash from his groupies is terrifying. Hope you’re doing okay ❤
Exactly which “marginalized groups” has he looked down upon?
This comment is what happens when you live on woke Instagram 😂
CF experienced the most growth ever when Sevan was head of media. It stagnated since he left. You don't have to belive me, you can look up the numbers and the years when he was working there. Hope you can still enjoy CF - everyone is welcome! Peace and love!
Good video, thanks for speaking your mind. Those comments definitely make him seem like a complete twat. Props to you for not being afraid to call him out.
You haven’t watched him and call him twat…. Super beta
@@Carl-pk8dk fuck. Carl from TH-cam thinks I’m Beta. My life is ruined.
This video seems to be re-directing frustrations on Sevan. Very disappointing. Wish you the best and hope you to stop victimizing yourself and others (with very creepy tactics, such as changing Sevan's voice pitch. Scary).
Yes your health is your business. You do you and focus on keeping your power pure and strong. The athletes that appear on his podcast should take responsibility for in a sense helping him grow. However whilst i agree with you, i believe his freedom to say stupid things should not be censored but should be made aware of for others to see. Avoid his toxic energy and refrain from watching anymore of his absolute crap.
He’s absolutely free to say what he wants and he can continue. He’s not free from consequences. No censoring here. I find it funny when people complain about free speech. You literally have it.
I agree he should face criticism from his peers and the crossfit community who are strangely quiet unfortunately.
Seven is funny and entertaining, your channel is kinda boring.
I hate it because I really enjoy seeing Brian, John, JR etc.. talk about actual CrossFit news, rankings, programming etc.. but I have to give him the views and airtime to be able watch that hopefully they’ll move somewhere else but very doubtful
this is SO important beth!!! speak the truth even if your voice shakes!
BETH, YOU ARE SO AWESOME AND BRAVE.
🙏🙏🙏🎉
