CrossFitter Alec Smith Comes Out
Attitude: The athlete has competed and won in both individual and part of CrossFit Krypton games and is the younger brother of the former CrossFit Games winner Ben Smith.
Now, Alec has taken to Instagram to publicly come out and detailed his struggles with coming to terms with his sexuality.
In the post, he says: “There’s been something on my mind that I’ve been wanting to talk to you guys for a while about now and I think I’m ready to now.
“I was going to sit down and write everything out but instead I’m just going to talk and see where it goes.
“So I’m gay, and I’m at the point in my life now where I’m ok with it. I’ve accepted it and I’m happy with who I am.”

Yes, he has quite noticeable gayvoice r4. The people in his life shouldn't be surprised.

He's hot. Just hope in a year, he's not battling alcohol and drugs and blaming "the gay community" for all of his mistakes.

He's great. Fantastic athlete. Well done video. We need more athletes coming out. Team Krypton (the team he competes with at the Games) is very strong, and as OP noted, his brother is also a successful Crossfit athlete.

He has gayface, so it was probably obvious to anyone who saw him, and especially to anyone who heard him.
Crossfit has this weird Christian following so it's interesting to see what the GOD 4 LYFE crowd will make of him being a Known Gay.

The Christian thing isn't really that big R10. It's really just Rich Froning and the Mayhem crew who are in rural Tennessee where it seems like it would be odd if they weren't uber-Xtian. I'm sure there are other Xtian Xfitters in the South too
But that's just a handful of people.
Mat Fraser and the CFNE team aren't into that, certainly not any of the Dottirs or the Australians. And Greg Glassman is Jewish.

Practically every Crossfitter on Instagram has Christ or a bible quote or God or a bible verse in their bio.

Naw. Just a bunch of tatted up, butched up, Gay Brah closet cases patting each other on the ass and hi-fiving. Crossfit is all about down low cruising and secret hookups. Which remind me- I gotta hit the gym, brah.

[quote]In June 2018, CrossFit fired its chief knowledge officer, Russell Berger, after Berger disparaged the LGBT community on Twitter. Berger's tweet followed a CrossFit location in Indianapolis being forced to shut down after an employee boycott of the location being closed for a day in honor of LGBT Pride Month. Berger wrote on Twitter "As someone who personally believes celebrating "pride" is a sin, I'd like to personally encourage #CrossFitInfiltrate for standing by their convictions and refusing to host an @indypride workout. The intolerance of the LGBTQ ideology toward any alternative views is mind-blowing." The tweet triggered angry responses denouncing Berger as a bigot and pressuring CEO Glassman for him to be fired; Berger was first placed on unpaid leave, but was later fired by Glassman, who publicly condemned Berger in an interview, stating "He [Berger] needs to take a big dose of 'shut the fuck up' and hide out for a while. It's sad."[89]
Jesus Freaks who did not want to fire the bigot.

Great now he's gonna be seen doing crossfit and hanging out with all the other Insta whores while showcasing his ass for cheap product placement. I await for when DL fav Dr.Jake hits him up for a fuck while posting a photo alongside him citing "bravery"

It's a libertarian-flavored cult. And any org with a "chief knowledge officer" is likely to be a cult or pyramid scheme.

You're right, R35! The comments on that thread at R32 are really nasty, even by Datalounge standards! But there seems to be a lot of gossip about him in Chicago.
Here's my favorite comment from that thread:
[quote] I just saw him compete at the CrossFit Games in Wisconsin. He’s very handsome in person. I have no idea if he’s into dudes or not. He can run fast though!
Silly, but it made me laugh.

Everyone seems to appreciate he is an attractive man, handsome, and a successful athlete. The snark es because he thought coming out was a breathy public event, when he is so obviously a flamer. I'm happy some lucky homos will now get to be with him in public.

I agree! It seems as though Alec Smith is the only one on Earth who thought that his coming out would be a surprise. I guarantee everyone around him knew it already.
Not only that, but are the supposed nude pics of him at R32 for real? They're not there anymore (the site took them down), but if he has nudes floating around out there, and he's engaging in foursomes with strangers, then I don't know why he is making such a big deal about coming out. Sounds like he is already OUT.
And if he's going to come out publicly, wearing a shirt that says "Smile," then maybe he should actually smile.

Part of his identity is wrapped up in social media. Being a cross fit star who is on SOCIAL MEDIA. It seems like its been a decade we have young people who do these "coming out" videos on YouTube and its just part of the branding. They are invariably flaming from space but you have to put something, ANYTHING, on your damn channel. They come out, date, break up, get married, divorce, all on social media.

It's stupid to have a "coming out" video now. Everyone knows that the cool thing to do is casually mention your boyfriend in a fun photo or "as a gay man, I agree with x x" in context of some larger issue.

Crossfit is not being an athlete--it's basically a cult and the sport has no real practical use. Someone who is developed in that way isn't necessarily more healthy or more able to do anything useful--it's not like running or swimming.
