Don’t wins by forfeit usually have a nice asterisk next to them?
There should be no wrestling, or any other contact sport, with mixed genders. It just shouldn’t happen.
I’ve actually wanted to see this in basketball. About the only thing that would make girls bball interesting. Around 30 or so years ago the football college All-Stars would play the NFL Super Bowl winning team in August I believe.
I would pay to see a team of boys high school All Stars play the championship WNBA team.
Many parents, especially fathers without boys, try to turn their daughters into sons. Unfortunately, society no longer reins them in. And what do you tell a boy? “Son, never ever touch or grab a girl by her breast or butt! Never place your head or hand in her crotch! Never force her head into your crotch! These things are wrong and will get you arrested for sexual assault! .... Well, unless you are at a school sanctioned event with people watching, and then its OK.... Well its, OK unless, she comes out of the match and makes accusations that you and your teammates purposefully did those things to humiliate her. In that case, you may still get arrested for sexual assault. Any how, have fun out there son.”
Good for him . . . shame on the school for forcing this to happen . . . shame on the girl for muddying the whole thing . . . go play in some other sport . . . the whole thing is just plain stupid
Glad to hear of this young man with some sense.
The uni-sex movement by liberal busybodies has succeeded.
The boys father is most likely a lawyer.
I believe it was a Marine General who once said;
“Any system which seeks to judge both sexes by one standard can only victimize one and shortchange the other.”
Proven, again, here.
The author didn’t need to extrapolate. In fact, what the boy did was exactly the right thing when confronted with this situation.
He did not cooperate with the effort at political correctness, and then, even more important, he did not give any statement as to why, that could later be used to attack him, demean him, and demand further political correctness.
By refusing to play along, he defeats the entire purpose of the exercise. So the girl wins—nothing. Great trophy there, girl. Where’d you buy it? Did somebody buy it for you? Like in the Special Olympics, everybody wins!
There is no victory there. No achievement. No real reward. Not even a competition. The socialist conclusion—mediocrity, gray and empty. The equality of bland and nutrition-less.
Some parents in California demand that their children play competitive sports, but without competing. But the kids don’t play along with their parents. They secretly keep scores, meet later and agree who won and who lost, and by how much. They want their victories and defeats, even if their parents have “issues” with competition, winning and losing, because they are neurotic.
Ironically, there can be a competitive consolation prize for her, if she chooses to do so. While this form of wrestling is effectively closed to female-male competition, it is not the only sport of this kind.
Judo, for example, has long had mixed male-female competition. It has everything western style wrestling has, and more. In it she could accomplish real victory and defeat, with no doubts as to her prowess or ability. It would be hers to win or lose.
She will get nothing—nothing, because she is a female. And she will not be at any great disadvantage because of her strength, either, because strength is not the most important asset in judo.
I think all the boys on the basket ball team should go demand to be put on the girls volley ball team. I mean it’s only fair since there is no boys volleyball in Iowa.
The dominant educational theory today is to treat boys as if they were dysfunctional girls.
Lose/Lose situation for the boy.
If he wins, he is a loser for beating a “girl”, and if he loses, he was beat by a girl, try living with that in High School. I have to agree with him, dont wrestle.
Based on wrestling moves I’ve seen or just heard about, if those things were done in any other venue, the guy would be charged with sexual assault. It is simply not appropriate for boys and girls to wrestle on the same team.
The ‘libbers’ will not rest until every gal has a penis and no tits, and every boy has a period.
There is no rest for the ‘libbers’ until every gal has a penis and no tits to go bad and every boy has a period.
I think the young man was being very practical. It’s kinda hard to wrestle with a gal without getting a stiffy.
good for him. the whole “equality” thing is a scam and at worst, deadly.
before i was deployed to iraq in the army, i had to go through “combat lifesaver” training. one of the drills was to pick up your buddy (in smoke and with a soundtrack of shooting and bombs going off) in the firemans carry and run 50 yards, and put him over a 4’ tall wall. the two females in our class were paired up and given a stretcher. I though “gee, i hope if i get shot her friend is there with the stretcher”. (fortunately, I got home without being shot).
