very interesting... am glad the majority voted not to expel him cause it will be ridiculous.

[realistromeo]

While your at it you might as well remove his star on the hollywood walk of fame and erase mention of his tenyor as Govenor of California to blot out his name from the histories.....












not serious.

[trackblonston]

Long live the king.

Cliffs? Busy atm. Will provide later if nobody else has.

Obviously they attempted to vote him out, vote failed.
But any reason why? :S

Breaking news: The HOF kicking Arnold out...

lol... i was thinking this for some reason when I read the title. Nearly woulda had me :P

I read that a couple days ago. What a bunch of uptight *******s for even thinking about it. And how hypocritical as well. I mean seriously how many hollywood marriages have not suffered infidelities? Most hollywood celebs are screwing someone new every night, or married to someone else every year or two. Look at all the losers who end up in rehab and die of drug overdoses. Yet Arnold slips up and they try to crucify him? I don't get it.

He needs to terminate all this bullsh!t by getting jacked and making some more movies. I don't care if he's 63 or 70, clint eastwood is still ruling. It's not ALL about muscles it's attitude. And I'm sure Arnold could pass for a jacked 50 something guy and do some cool stuff yet. That old marine guy from Avatar was pretty cool with gray hair and all. I believed his performance. He had the guns to back it up. I think Arnold could do all kinds of cool stuff yet. He just needs to be single so he can ho about and be himself and say F you a$$holes to the press.

I heard he left LA for now. Who knows when he'll be back.

i wish people would think logically and realize that this whole ordeal with arnold has not and will not have any effect whatsoever at what arnold has accomplished...

"OMGZ BUT NO, HES A BAD INFLUENCE ON DUH CHILDRENZZ!!!"

grow up for fuks sake

[hulkstatus84]

not to condone what Arnold had done but f*ck! Really! When you're down everybody will try to sh*t on you if they can. What his personal life had to do with decades of his accomplishments I'll never know. Shame of the the Fitness HOF for even thinking that.....

They knew it would never actually happen.

Figarelli just wanted a free plug in the news for his site & org, many people haven't even heard of this prick till now, conveniently.

He should pull a Charlie Sheen and do his own thing. But since he was afraid to tell his wife about the kid all those years, he probably doesn't have the cojones to do it.

Arnold has been one of the most influential figures in fitness for almost 50 years.

He had an affair...maybe a couple. HE'S HUMAN FOR CHRIST SAKE! Those moral discrepancies have no bearing on what he has done for the fitness industry and bodybuilding community.

OP's headline is a bit misleading. The Fitness Hall of Fame does NOT want to expel Arnold. They considered it, decided that his personal life should remain personal, and that he deserves to stay in. They consider the matter closed.

Read the article.

Read the article.

Most of us did. We're just sick of dumb people acting like an indiscretion in someone's personal life negates all of the good that they've done in other parts of their life.

Agreed. The Fitness Hall Of Fame ultimately made the right decision, but it never should have been an issue in the first place.

[beastlymode]

in soviet austria arnold would expel them

[E60M5]

Arnold could commit murder and he would still be the biggest thing in fitness/bodybuilding ever.

[mrusa85]

I've been following the industry for more than 30 years... this cracks me up!


“We here at The National Fitness Hall of Fame have received an overwhelming amount of feedback, from the public, expressing many emotions from disapproval and disgust to abhorrence and hatred. Cries to remove Arnold from The National Fitness Hall of Fame are many and far reaching,” the Hall of Fame (HOF) wrote in an email to all members on Monday, before asking them to email their thoughts on possible expulsion to HOF’s founder and executive director, John Figarelli.


Never heard of the guy or his organization...

I don't think this is a very big deal whatsoever.

[MuscleSportMag]

I never heard of that guy or the Fitness HOF, either, until FOX News contacted me for a few quotes.

Even though Arnold will stay in (as he should), that guy also said that they may alter some criteria in their meeting next month. So this may have some effect on someone in the future who may have been inducted. Ridiculous.
