Dirty Kanza boss fired over ‘inappropriate and insensitive’ comment

Jim Cummins fired by race owners Life Time Fitness after describing police shooting of Rayshard Brooks as 'justified.'



Jim Cummins, founder and director of Dirty Kanza, has been fired after making an offensive comment on social media.

In a statement Saturday night, Dirty Kanza owners Life Time Fitness confirmed it had “parted ways” with Cummins. Cummins had recently posted on a personal social media account describing the shooting of Rayshard Brooks by an Atlanta police officer as “justified.”

“Following a review of the post made by the founder of Dirty Kanza, we found it to be inappropriate and insensitive, and we stand against it as an organization,” stated Life Time. “As an outcome of our investigation, we have parted ways with this individual.”
