Why does my gym have Fox News on all day every day in the men's locker room?

[InsecureLivesMatter]

It kinda pisses me off. They used to show the Food network and sometimes they'll show either CNN or Fox. But ever since last month they seem to have Fox on every single day that I am here at LA Fitness.

What else are the old white men supposed to bitch to each other about in there while being naked for unreasonable amounts of time?

You know, I never made the connection til now, but Angry, Ignorant FoxNews Viewer is the EXACT same dude that will just be right next to while you’re sitting, and he’s naked as a jaybird with one leg up on the bench, just fucking air-drying, dangling his trash inches from your face, like “You know, China would’ve NEVER tried to spy on us under Trump…”💀💀💀 MAGA nuts and their bag o’ nuts, you just hate to see it, lmfao.

Because it is the most watched television news program in the US.

Do you go to the gym early in the morning? That's when the geriatric set tends to go and no one loves Fox News more than curmudgeony old people.

Easy fix - get a remote control app and change the channel. Even better, change the language to Spanish and watch them lose their minds!

I go in the afternoons and evenings only

There goes my theory!

Here Sky News pays people to run their channel in bars etc. Maybe it is the same deal with Fox. They are so desperate for viewers that pay for it to happen.

Desperate? They are the #1 news channel in terms of viewership.

Why don't you bring it up with whomever happens to set up the television, rather than asking it on GAG? If anything, a gym should be showing work out related programs.

Bcs they get mad at people

The fact that this upsets you so much is more telling of your own mental health than anything else. Try to not let things like this cause you so much strain. It's only hurting you in the end.

My gym has it too. And so does the lunchroom where I work. I guess people want to know what is really happening in the world.

Maybe they're sick & tired of the bullshit and lies on CNN and the other fake news channels.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Change gym. My gym has plenty of TV's. CNN, FOX, ESPN, Movie network etc.

[InsecureLivesMatter]

Thanks but not entirely my point. Yes the machine bikes and treadmills and all allow for changing channels but there is no remote control in the locker room

[Snakeyes7]

Fox probably gave them a better deal than the rest of them.

[QuietRunner]

Are you Insecure? Does your life matter?

How long are you in the locker room that it causes distress?

[inhua]

why are you watching TV at the gym?

[InsecureLivesMatter]

I don't do it on purpose, it's literally always on
