Penn State head coach James Franklin is trying to keep in shape like the rest of us are during social distancing, and he’s trying to use the gym where he lives only when there isn’t anyone else in there.
But as he told reporters earlier this week, he’s run into a bit of a problem: there’s someone who, as he said, is “dominating” the weight room. So he did what any sensible adult might do: he grabbed a pair of dumbbells to use in his house.
That ignited a bit of a feud. Here’s the story from Franklin via the York Daily Record:
“We won’t go in the weight room with other people in there,” Franklin said Wednesday during a video conference with reporters. “And so I took the 25-pound (dumbbells) and brought them up to our condo because I couldn’t get in there, a guy was dominating the weight room.”
Franklin then smiled.
“Then he left a nasty note in there. He said, ‘Whoever stole the 25-pound weights, could you bring them back?’ So then I wrote a little note that said, ‘Well, could you stop dominating the weight room for three hours a day?'”
We’re all just trying to get by one day — or set of dumbbells — at a time.
