Tons of gays in wrestling for the wrong reasons |
What would those reasons be? You sound like the parent that won't let their daughter wrestle bc they thing there is something sexual about it. There's not. AT ALL. |
What do you imagine the word “effete” means? ef·fete: (of a man) behaving in a way traditionally associated with women and regarded as inappropriate for a man. That’s a word used a lot by educated homophobes to describe gay men and/or what they imagine to be “gay behavior.” I’d urge you to find a different word. |
What are you on about now, trick? |
Wrestling is an amazing sport. A multi thousand year tradition and it’s one of the basic human athletic activities. A lot of the best MMA fighters have a wrestling background |
These stats are from 2014-2015. That is pre-Covid which is pre allowing athletes to stay on for a 5th year of eligibility which has completely changed these stats. Need 2022 or 2023 updates to know now what is accurate re wrestling vs other sports. |
You're pretty much proving the point that it's for small boys who can't play field sports. |
Oh please. That guy is what? 5' 7"? Any NCAA basketball, baseball, or football player--or maybe even field hockey player--could easily take him. |
Parent of a basketball player who plays at a high level and believes it’s very much harder to play basketball in college than to wrestle because of the number of boys who want to play basketball (115 kids tried out for the varsity team at my kid’s HS, and a similar number went to JV tryouts). Also, two things: - the man pictured is 6’2”. - a 5’7” NCAA wrestler could take down and subdue almost all athletes from other sports regardless of size. I did MMA for about 6 years, and during that time had a big prison guard (who you’d think would know how to fight) lose his temper and attack me. I actually got bored blocking his clumsy punches and attempts to grapple me (and it’s not like I was that good). On another occasion, a guy who played O line for Clemson wanted to spar, and, after about two seconds, I was apologizing for hurting him. As in all things, training makes a LOT of difference. |
Just stop. I feel second-hand embarrassment for you He is 6'2, 265lbs and an Olympic gold medalist. He's one of the greatest athletes in the world. The number of people that could even have a shot "easily taking him" could be counted on one hand |
At least 1/2 of HS wrestling team also plays football or lax. Once you get over the 130lb weight class, its multi-sport athletes |
Aw, sweetie. You never cracked the varsity line up did you? That's okay, wrestling is hard and not for everyone. |
Wrestling tough dam |

Hmm…I thought pp meant ‘guys’ not gays |
