THE CROSSFIT GAMES LAST YEAR IN AROMAS WERE A BLAST TO SAY THE LEAST….BUT THIS YEAR THEY'RE MOVING TO CARSON, CALIFORNIA TO THE HOME DEPOT CENTER..ITS A HUGE COMPLIMENT TO CROSSFIT, AS THE GAMES HAVE GROWN WITH INTEREST AND POPULARITY…BUT IT’S A HUGE BLACK EYE FOR MONTEREY COUNTY AS THEY MADE THE MOVE EASY FOR CROSSFIT AS THEY MADE THE PROCESS OF GETTING A PERMIT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE…I PLAN ON MAKING THE TRIP AND ALLOWING CARSON,CALIFORNIA THE OPPUTUNITY OF ME SPENDING MONEY ON HOTEL AND FOOD WHICH IS TAXED...MEANING CARSON WILL GET SOMETHING MONTEREY COUNTY WON'T…TAX REVENUE….WITH ALL THE UNDER FUNDING WE HAVE IN GOVERNMENT…SCHOOLS CUTTING SPORTS DUE TO LACK OF FUNDING; MEANING SOME KIDS DON’T GET A CHANCE TO COMPETE AT A SPORT THEY LOVE. YET CROSSFIT WAS WILLING TO BRING IN MILLIONS IN SALES TAX DOLLARS (HOTEL,FOOD AND GAS)….YET THEY FELT COMPELLED TO MAKE IT IMPOSSIBLE FOR CROSSFIT TO HOLD THE GAMES IN AROMAS…LET'S MAKE IT HARD FOR A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO GATHER TO WATCH A FITNESS TEST AND LIVE A HEALTHY LIFESTYLE AND SPEND MONEY…WELL THIS IS WHY I HATE GOVERNMENT….ZERO THE COMMON SENSE DEPARTMENT….HERE’S A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY IN TAX REVENUE THAT WOULD BE COMING INTO THE COMMUNITY BUT APPARENTLY THEY FEEL THEY HAVE A HIGHER MISSION THEN MAKING MONEY…. I’M HOPING IT COMES BACK TO AROMAS ONE DAY AS ITS AN AWESOME SPOT AND MAYBE ONE WAY I CAN PERSONALLY DO THIS IS TO MAKE SURE MY NEXT VOTE FOR AN ELECTED OFFICAL IS FOR SOMEONE THAT SUPPORTS MAKING MONEY AND CROSSFIT…. ROCK ON AND SPREAD THE WORD
