A man says he was asked not to wear a shirt supporting President Trump at a gym that he attends in Troy, Mo.
Staff Sgt. Jake Talbot says he has worn the shirt to CDY Fitness in Troy, Missouri (636- 462-5290) many times before but on Sunday, he says the owner asked him not to wear the shirt again, saying the shirt was offensive to her and others.
“I was just puzzled there for a second. She said that it was racist and represents racism and that’s when I when I was like ‘oh, you’re done,” said Talbot.
Talbot says he finished his workout before posting his frustrations to Facebook.
“The owner Liz came up to me and said that Trump shirt I had on was offensive and said I needed to remove it in order to work out there, and that it is linked to racism. I hate the word, its used way too loosely. It’s 2019, get the hell over it, it’s not racism,” Talbot said.
The gym’s owner declined an interview with News 4 but says the shirt made several members uncomfortable. On Sunday she went online and posted that the gym “shouldn’t be a political forum for anyone.”
Attorney Lynette Petruska says the gym’s owner was well within her legal bounds to ask Talbot to take the shirt off.
“It’s just the racist part she brought up that I just do not like,” said Talbot.
Talbot says another nearby gym offered him a year membership for free.

They are winning. No Trump shirts, no MAGA hats. They win.
That gym needs to wither and die.
I wouldn’t expect this from any place in Missouri. For Christ sake I live in Nor Cal and Trump Wear is prolific. Especially the kids. (I’m old, a kid is anything under 25).
He needs to wear a shirt with the picture of Obama struggling to hoist five pound dumbbells.
Add the HOPE logo. LOL 🙂
LBS, 5 LBS MY ASS!!
I live right down the road from Troy. Like BB, I’m amazed that this would happen here. I will pay a visit to this gym tomorrow.
With my MAGA hat of course.
Go woke…go broke you ignorant fuckheads.
A gym going after toxic masculinity?
Bwahahaha! 🙂
@ Bad_Brad – this is not your father’s Miss. This is were we are at now unfortunatley. I was just telling the mrs glad we did our cross country trips in the 80’s and 90’s when we did.
It SUCKS but sorry to say that is GONE.
I called and the message said that it was ‘out of memory’.
I’ll try again to-morra.
They have NO idea what they are in for!
“Talbot says another nearby gym offered him a year membership for free.”
Now THAT is a smart businessman.
Forgot to say he should have worn his Che shirt, SOOO much more fashionable and ChicCommie for a ruthless murderer.
Average Ho’s Gym. 🙄
I’d take that down-the-road deal.
“Judgement-free zone”
Nope, entirely judgmental regarding conservatives.
I guarantee the dude could wear “Black lives matter” shirts seven fucking days a week without a single peep.
a gym that is run by a dumb belle.
skate down the road to the other place
And poof just like that she went bankrupt
I was just released from Facebook jail about an hour ago after a 24 hour sentence. What crime did I commit? I posted a photo of a 90 round drum magazine on a gun forum. They explained that it didn’t fall within the limits of their community standards. Little Lord Zuckmeister and his merry band of Brownshirts are really busy saving the world.
will we have wear your Trump gear days when we all do it together?
How to be Subhuman Garbage!
Step 1: Demand leftism/marxism/multiculturalism everywhere, all the time
Step 2: Now stare in horror at your city/state ruined by the corruption, crime, and degeneracy you demanded
Step 3: Move to a place where conservatism has maintained order and prosperity
Step 4: Demand leftism/marxism/multiculturalism everywhere, all the time
ghost,
Wear the Che tshirt with the bullet hole in the forehead.
More historically accurate.
Facebook jail?. I left that virus garbage a long time ago.
iotw needs to start selling MAGA prayer rugs.
We show up and pray at all of these leftist establishments.
What will they do?
Make Her “Bake the Cake” or sue for emotional damage.

My good friend lives in Troy. He was born and raised in Moscow Mills.
LBS, another great line!
“Go Woke…Go Broke”
I always turn in back on them. When someone tells me I’ve said or done something that someone finds offensive, I always say, “That’s offensive! You have offended me! You must cease that offensive behavior right not!”
After that I ignore any gesticulation and/or counter-statements altogether. Those people really ARE offensive, and should be treated as such. Why not? They do it.
Always paid for a gym to keep me physically fit and STD up to date!
Go squat on a turd you stupid bint.
The Yelp reviews are not kind….
@hambone:
Why are even bothering to use that POS platform?
Every time you use suckerburgs website you enrich him.
Why not make fuckerburg go the way of cable TEE-VEE and cut the cord to him?
Remember, the interwebs worked just fine before snookerburg and it will work just fine once he goes the way of MSN chat and Myspace so why not help hasten that along by BANNING his spy-site?
I have never used it and NEVER will… just like cable television because I loves me my totally FREE antenna and emails!
Bitch need to poop out some babies and get her man a beer and a sammich.
Owner of the gym:

Do they forbid Che Guevara t-shirts also, I wonder? He was a racist too…..as well as a hater, murderer, communist, and other things.
It was likely just her that was offended. They always talk in terms of all others feeling just like them when in reality nobody does.
Remember the black school teacher in {North Carolina?} that had the class of small children all sing some song in praise of Obama? It was like some communist re-education camp preamble.
It’s more than troubling to see so many americans behaving like this these days
Reminds me of the chick that got mistaken for a boy so often she decided to be one.
“On Sunday she went online and posted that the gym “shouldn’t be a political forum for anyone,” as she politicized the gym and the patrons in order to make her (fraudulent) political point!
LOL! Dems are such morons.
Someone doesn’t like my shirts or hats, they can BUY ME NEW STUFF TO WEAR. Or STFU And get EBOLA.
He should have worn a shirt that read “I am a woman and I use their restrooms”!
Time for all patriotic members of that gym to cancel their memberships and go elsewhere. They need to go broke.
“This gym should be a political-free zone, you pro-Trump racist person who’s pushing racism”. We’re doomed with dum-shiites like this running around.
Nike swoosh shoes make me uncomfortable They shouldn’t allow them in any gym.
Liberals tend to project their own racism onto other people.
