Starting Strength went through something similar over the Kavanaugh nomination.
I've never understood why the politics of the inventor of a training modality or tool have anything to do with the utility of that modality or tool.
Owners of training gyms tend to be white guys with a working class background. Their fees are such that their clients will be middle class, also mostly white, and all their friends white middle class. If politics comes up there'll be a clash.
In previous years the politics of a training guru wouldn't be a problem, but whether or not he was a heavy drinker, screwed around on his wife etc would. Why do we now care about politics, but not about character? Why have we swapped one puritanism for another?
