Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sports Festival executive director responded to the backlash following the former California Governor's controversial comment.
by Matthew Magnante
If you’ve stayed in the loop lately, you’re probably aware of the recent news involving a comment Arnold Schwarzenegger made in an interview regarding the Covid-19 crisis, that didn’t sit too well with some. Three words; “screw your freedom,” caused a bit of an uproar, and the supplement brand Redcon1 to not sponsor the Arnold or other Arnold sports festivals.
The bodybuilding icon replied in the comment section to one of a few videos that covered the story on Nick Miller’s YouTube channel Nick’s Strength and Power. Miller played a longer version of the interview where Schwarzenegger made the statement to give more context.
The former California Governor wrote the following under the video…
“Thank you for sharing the context. I think I am going to write in my newsletter this month about how we need to be careful in these days about being misguided by the internet. Sometimes I wonder if it is better to be uninformed than misinformed. I also wrote a column to give more of my thoughts on what I said that you can read here. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/08/schwarzenegger-schmuck-mask-vaccines/619746/”
