24 Hour Fitness Center, a national exercise gym chain, is telling employees that radical left-wing symbols are “freedom of expression,” but they can’t wear U.S. flags because that is “political” and therefore forbidden on the job.
This absurd situation was uncovered by the indispensable Libs Of Tik Tok.
HOLY SHLIT. Internal memo from 24 hour fitness @24hourfitness advises that BLM and pride symbols are always approved forms of “freedom of expression” but the American Flag and US logos are only allowed to be worn on Holidays.

The company gave employees a list of what they would approve.
All Good: Black Lives Matter/BLM words.
All Good: Pride” and or pride rainbow logo.
All Good: Juneteenth logo, symbol or date on Juneteenth (June 19).
What is bad?
No Good: [US] Flag or United States logos, except on federal holidays like Memorial Day, Flag Day, July 4th, Veterans Day, Patriots Day, etc.
Looks like it’s time to “Bud Light” 24 Hour Fitness.
