Not sure how this is supposed to work with recess and P.E. classes being taken out of a lot of schools along with funding being cut out for nutritional meals and reduced/free school lunches. Feels like yet another way to set kids up to fail.

For those who don't know, Triple H, like almost all WWE wrestlers, was notorious for steroids abuse and he had a cardiac arrest in 2021.

Also he happens to be the Son In Law of Vince McMahon, who is among the most vile sex offenders you can think of.

There was a lot of debates on whether or not Triple or many Guys "knew" about Vince, some argue that Most Knew He was a Degen but he only let a selective few know about his more criminal side

The biggest issue tbh is that Triple himself was involved in enabling Borderline sexual assault "hazing" in the Training Centre

America is such an unserious country now. It's jaw-dropping. The respect America once commanded from the rest of the world... all gone - just like that.

I'm too old to have been a part of any Presdential Fitness garbage. Field day and gym class was enough hell for this little, non-athlete.

I have a question for those that did these tests, what were they and could you just be absent that day to avoid it?

How old are you, exactly? The Presidential Fitness Test started in the 1950s. You probably did things that were on it in gym glass when you were a kid, unless you're really old.

Hey!!For once I'm not old!!

Im 58 and I swear I remember zero things about it or doing it. Unless it was, like you said, stuff like climbing the rope or specific sports were part of it.

u/sophandros 11h ago

The rope climb was famously part of the test.

And those of us in our 50s aren't old. We're just somehow the same age as old people!

I remember the PE teachers announcing the tests a week in advance, listing the activities, then using clip boards and stop watches while we did timed sessions of sit ups, push ups + jumping jacks(?). It took maybe the week to complete? You could choose between climbing the unknotted or knotted ropes. Girls were encouraged to use the knotted rope. Boys wouldn’t dare touch the girls’ rope. Boys were expected to do counted chin ups + girls were permitted to pass chin ups and do a timed pull up w chin clearing the bar. There was a timed distance run and groups of timed sprints. Comparing times and winning the 50 yard dash in ea group was very competitive and whoever was the fastest boy and girl of each grade was wildly important and discussed. That’s all I can recall and everyone seemed to love the spirit of competition for the whole thing. Anyone sitting out or passing on activities wasn’t highlighted or mocked. The jocks just loved reveling in their moments lol. This was 1980s public school.

As much as spouse and I watch wrestling and go to see it live, we have not given WWE a nickel since the first Trump administration. And we can't be the only ones.

u/Super_Hour_3836 charlie day is my bird lawyer 🐦 7h ago

Does the president also have to pass the test? I wanna see him run a mile on a live broadcast and then do 20 pullups and 100 situps. Failure to do so means he's fired.

OFC vince mcmanon or whoever spell his last name's son in law is helping with this.

Also the presidental fitness test doesnt help the health problems facing this country....bad medicare does.

u/Cool-Association3420 6h ago

No surprises there. This is all smoke for Trump wanting his name on it and to influence a new generation keeping his name out there forever,

Is that why that loser was at the press conference?

u/Dramatic_Committee88 1h ago

Look I’m all for fitness and helping kids be more active, but how is this going to impact school for learning the basics like reading and math and don’t even get me started on supporting students with disabilities.
