The butt drag is a technique taught in wrestling rooms all over this country for decades. Protocol is that you make your opponent pay for such a slip, and if you are not willing to do that, you probably do not belong in the sport.
Only in the San Francisco area would a prosecutor actually ruin a kid’s life for this…I hope the suspended kid’s family takes the school district to the cleaners. What a shame.."
How ironic.
I thought that move was a sacrament in San Francisco.
Anyone telling you this is a legitimaate wrestling move is a liar and a pervert. This coach and any like him should be fired, prosecuted, then imprisoned--maximum security-- for aiding and abetting sexual assault of a minor.
It should be against the rules. But since it isn’t against the rules, I don’t know how they can arrest a kid for it.
I wrestled in high school. I was too small for anything else. The whole sport of wrestling could probably be prosecuted as sexual abuse under modern standards.
I could never understand the willingness to wrestle around on the floor with other guys in tight clothing... there’s just something DADT about that. My high school never offered co-ed wrestling in P.E. so I stuck to other sports.
I found a couple examples of the move on Youtube. This one was the best of the bunch (No, it’s not some gay rick-roll, just clips of high school wrasslin)

Disgusting!
You can’t stick your fingers in your opponents eyes, mouth or ass. Butt drag and anal rape are not synonomous.
8 years of wrestling and never saw this taught as a move.
Plenty of other disgusting stuff goes on in the wrestling room but never saw fingers in the anus.
Maybe it was an enhanced pat down. The kid might have a future in the TSA.
The coaches and officials who allow this “technique” ought to be horsewhipped. The kid ought to be told in no uncertain terms that those in authority over him and the sport have exhibited wildly bad judgment and that such a thing is never to be done (outside of sodomite bath houses), but otherwise let alone.
can we move on to something less discutsting, like Teabagging. LOL
Except that the story is from Fresno.
It'll take the sport of wrestling 20 years starting from now to recover from this or become respectable again, if it ever does (at least amongst the heterosexual).
