So I get another email from another JT Hall hater this afternoon:
"To whom it may concern, One of the people you sponser, known as "Big Willie" J.T. Hall, has conducted himself in an incredibly immature and instigative manner on the boards of Bodybuilding.com, one of the largest supplement sites on the internet. After repeated requests by the regular forum members to discontinue his behavior, he instead redoubled his efforts to provoke the other users by various means. As such, I am informing you that as long as you sponsor "Big Willie" J.T. Hall, I will not be purchasing anything from your store. I am a powerlifter who buys equipment and new supplements regularly, and I am ashamed that a person like J.T. Hall is representing our sport. "
After the guys and I finished laughing our asses off, Pat said, "So tell me again why we're investing in this sport?" LOL
If JT and Tuck have agreed to leave each other well enough alone, others can and should as well. People in powerlifting need to concern themselves with their own behavior, conditions, training and performance. Nah, that may run the risk of them being progressive and achievers and we just can't have that, can we?
I know there are far more powerlifters who don't troll and live by the posts on forums and other sites than those who do, so the few who contact me trying to smear JT or any of our sponsored athletes in any sport have no bearing on what we do, with whom or why.
Powerlifting's status quo really amuses us to no end!
If people are hating on BMF lifters now, just wait til next February!
