Joel will still have his integrity from not grappling with a teenage girl for the enjoyment of others.

I'll just chalk statements like this to your ignorance of the sport.

Learn a little bit and maybe watch some matches before drawing conclusions.

If a girl can reach the state tournament in a wrestling Mecca like Iowa by competing on a level playing field with the guys, it's an incredible accomplishment and she deserves to be treated with the respect of an athlete. She's earned it.

This girl in the links below made it to the state tournament in Nebraska. Are you going to tell her she shouldn't compete?:

You know me not. I was a wrestler when I was young and in school. Had I ever made it to state and my opponent was a girl, I would have done the same thing as Joel did. I would have because I was raised that boys do not grab girls in certain parts of their bodies, something that you cannot avoid while wrestling.

Now if you would like to insinuate, as some have, that I worry about controlling my feelings or hormones while wrestling a girl you would be a wrong as it is to wrestle teen girls. We are talking teen girls and boys, not prepubescent children. Like it or not the teen years are when a boy should learn respect for women. Something the world disagrees with these days. Thus we have men who have no respect for women, and women who have no respect for men.

As for why I stated that it is for the the reason I stated that grappling with a teenage girl is for the enjoyment of others. I will tell you what I told Oberon. Like it or not it is a fact that whenever women compete against men it comes down to those who wish to watch, not the participants. It has been so since Billie Jean King ripped apart the worst excuse for a male tennis player ever, Bobby Riggs.
