about what an anonymous dude on an internet message board has to say? Don't they have bigger fish to fry? They shouldn't give so much weight to our opinions. We're not worth their time.

Actually more diverse than you'd think.

I bet they don't make up more than 15%.

Even 15% should surprise you.

No, I am 20 pounds overweight and have not played competitive sport for 10 years

Looks like your brother should go train with JP. That cougar is looking lean.

This is suggesting he roids...I really don't think he does. He's a gym rat

Sort of agree but it's his business. It's similar to someone responding to a negative yelp review. He probably should

It's nothing like a negative Yelp review. It's one post on a fast-moving message

SandYFan

5/5/17 9:40am

Someone was researching his business. The original post. Others see it and may consider it when

The Dude Abides

I think he was fine to do it on Instagram but maybe without being condescending

That's fine, but he's worked up. That's not healthy in the long run.

SandYFan

He made one Instagram post..let's not blow this out of proportion.

I checked the thread. It was one guy that said that. Here's a positive post:

He made his Instagram post days before that positive post you referenced was made. He overreacted to a

"All you guys" What, maybe two people commented?

Mr Blue

He does make valid points though.

Honestly I'd love to have him train me for a while.

I find it curious that he admits not letting this stuff get to him as a player

Ironhide

Well, if Jordan wanted to fight the stereotype of a 'roid raging linebacker-turned-trainer, mission accomplished.

Indy Coug

I thought he was fighting actuary stereotypes.

People care far too much about what's said on here

It's publicity. A lot of eyes see what's posted on CB.

Machiavelli

As the author of the original post that led to this, I will say that I don't mind Jordan's reaction.

I'll side with JP on this one. Sucks for uneducated posters to be speaking out

BYUfan92

It's not about him trying to defend himself. It's the manner he chose to do so
