RIP Champ! Another great one gone too soon! A great loss to the nation! Prayers for his family and loved ones! 😪💔🙏

A great American. He parlayed his innate friendly persona into a deserved fortune.

wildplumbay.bsky.social•9 days ago

I can’t believe he was 76. I thought he was in his 90’s.

kylenewell.bsky.social•9 days ago

Sorry for your loss, George, George, George, George, George, Georgetta and all of his other kids.

I was so sad to read about George Foreman's death. A great boxer. A great man. A great American.

And someone who showed us that, after a big loss, you can bounce back too.

gilliesracer.bsky.social•9 days ago

I liked George.

Fuck him. Fuck TRUMP. Fuck the grill!

Every single company you use BIG or SMALL should already have deleted their #meta account. It is not acceptable for you to turn a blind eye. This will be a stain on you. You know what to do. No #facebook or #instagram #x or #tesla!! https://apple.news/A7nRT3aF7QvWjbfkYydVbgQ

In later life he behaved with such wonderful humility and such good grace. He became an example to us all. Rest In Peace George.

RIP Mr Foreman & my condolences to your family

ricfouad.bsky.social•9 days ago

Disappointing that obit didn’t describe transformative effect of Zaire loss, how it shook his confidence & left him deeply depressed but transformed him into remarkable human being we knew, beautiful soul who exuded love & positivity & had no pettiness at all. RIP, King.🙏🏾🌹❤️

Like America and alternative rock, George peaked in the 90s, reclaiming the heavyweight title and making the kitchen gadget that college students needed.

Sad. I had his lil grills, and all his sons' names were George as well.

oh wow, I wonder what caused his death

techerous.bsky.social•9 days ago

Feel like I've got to grill up a steak on my old indoor/outdoor from my bachelor days now.

elgatonyc.bsky.social•9 days ago

In the "When We Were Kings" movie about the fight with Ali he comes off as a total penitentiary face. Who knew underneath that scowl was one of the most engaging and cuddly personalities boxing has ever seen? RIP, Champ. You'll be missed.

schtang.bsky.social•9 days ago

He died of shame - America.

bytememaga.bsky.social•8 days ago

A great man, a funny man but most of all a humanitarian. RIP George, you did good.

unityforprogress.us•8 days ago

One of the greats! An example of a life well lived. A life with extraordinary impact. Rest in peace, Champ!

mikusa.bsky.social•9 days ago

Probably contributed a MILLION in U.S. Social Security Retirement TAX benefit contributions system but only survived long enough to RECLAIM A THIRD of it. Will the fanatical right now eulogize him as a “DEI” fighter—followed swiftly by erasure from American history?

omr-pnw.bsky.social•9 days ago

May his name live on… several times

God rest hi soul

purplebo2.bsky.social•9 days ago

So sad. He helped one of our 8 year old cancer patients by inviting him to The George Foreman TV series SEVERAL years ago. Foreman was a really genuine guy.

meierlowenthal.bsky.social•9 days ago

that was nice of you to share

jljones.bsky.social•9 days ago

I remember his fight against Muhammad Ali in 1974 like it was yesterday. I was never more afraid that Ali would lose than when he faced Foreman. Such giants! A shame that boxing no longer has such great men.

drjonesbtg.bsky.social•8 days ago

Another one great guy. Now I must invest in a grill.

drjonesbtg.bsky.social•8 days ago

Great guy

He was one terrifying dude in his prime - RIP G.F. 😞

RIP to a true legend, George Foreman.

He left an indelible mark both in the ring and in our kitchens with those iconic grills.

What a legacy! #RIPGeorgeForeman
