The problem with wrestling is that it does not have the viewership that gymnastics, swimming or that stupid ribbon dancing.
If people don’t watch it on TV, the IOC can and should eliminate wrestling.
Good man, great letter...and John Kerry is no Donald Rumsfeld
I would actually like to see the Olympics return the Pankration. They would have to vigorously enforce the few rules they do have tho.
Let’s cut wrestling, we can always keep curling
Since when did this guy become an expert on anything?
I am reading thru Rumsfeld’s book on my Kindle. He’s lived a pretty interesting life and that was before the Bush 43 years. I’m sure that wrestling being booted probably has alot to do with the chick-a-fication of the sports world as the Olympics media coverage is aimed at the crowd that does not pay attention to sports until the olympics come around and they dont want to see a bunch of burly hairy men wrestling.

Probably a big-bucks country that doesn’t win many medals in wrestling has “convinced” the committee to drop wrestling.
