“My take: get over it.”
My take of your take: shut up. It will always and forever be a lose-lose situation, no matter how you pretend to feel about it.
Oh, and also grappling with girls is unseemly.
Feminism. Pure and simple.
This whole girl wrestling gimmick is yet another ploy that feminists have been using to “prove” equality between the sexes.
Correction. I mean “prove” superiority over men.
You forgot the “Projectile Vomit Alert”.
I would hang my head in shame if my son agreed to wrestle a girl.
My take: He did the right thing.
We shouldn’t normalize that it’s ok to hit women, ever.
The writer comes across as a metrosexual.
Crotch grab and hoist the same girl and see if she doesn’t cry claiming sexual harassment.
I’m still waiting to find out if the butt drag is a legitimate wrestling move.
A Russian and Ole the Norwegian wrestler were set to square off for the Olympic Gold Medal. Before the final match, the Norwegian wrestling coach came to Ole and said, “Now, don’t forget all the research we’ve done on this Russian.. He’s never lost a match because of this ‘pretzel’ hold he has”. Whatever you do, do not let him get you in that hold! If he does, you’re finished’. Ole nodded in acknowledgment.
As the match started, Ole and the Russian circled each other several times, looking for an opening. All of a sudden, the Russian lunged forward, grabbing Ole and wrapping him up in the dreaded pretzel hold. A sigh of disappointment arose from the crowd and the coach buried his face in his hands, for he knew all was lost.. He couldn’t watch the inevitable happen.
Suddenly, there was a scream, then a cheer from the crowd and the coach raised his eyes just in time to watch the Russian go flying up in the air. His back hit the mat with a thud and Ole collapsed on top of him making the pin and winning the match.. The crowd went crazy. The coach was astounded.
When he finally got his wrestler alone, he asked, “How did you ever get out of that hold? No one has ever done it before!”
Ole answered, “Vell, I vas ready to give up ven he got me in dat hold, but at da last moment, I opened my eyes and saw dis pair of testicles right in front of my face...I had nuttin’ to lose so wid my last ounce of strength I stretched out my neck and bit dose babies just as hard as I could.”
So the trainer exclaimed, “That’s what finished him off!”
“Vel not really. You’d be amazed how strong you get ven you bite your own nuts!”
The guy is obviously a very committed Christian.
The girl is obviously a very talented wrestler.
I don’t see any reason the two can’t co-exist. He made his decision; she’s made hers. Both took courage, conviction, and sacrifice. I can find ground to respect them both.
My take:
Men should not fight women. Boys should not be trained to fight girls.
Ok, then let boys play on the girls BB team I say.
I made it to state one year, as a senior in H.S. I guarantee you I would NOT have risk my years of hard work and a state championship to let some girl have the win. I would have punished her - in the hopes of her never, ever, ever wanting to wrestle again.
If they want to wrestle, let the girls start their own league.
You gotta remember Ben, some men/boys still value their masculinity. Just because the “women’s lib” movement feminized much of the country, doesn’t mean that every male bought the bait.
In my experience as a former college wrestler, it would be extremely rare (i.e. so rare that the story makes the newspaper) for any female to beat a post-pubertal male in wrestling, unless of course, he wasn’t much of a male.
I know some people would say that the answer here is to let girls wrestle girls. I’m not comfortable with that either. The thought of some “girl” putting a move on my daughter is just as bad as a guy doing it, if not even more nauseating. If I had a daughter who wanted to fight, I guess I’d lean toward martial arts, for self-defense.
My take is that Eric Mandel has some sand in his vagina.
seems like the effetes of the left are in ridicule mode.
Just a couple of thoughts.
1. I never liked wrestling when we had to wrestle in physical education class in high school. I have no interest in touching other guys in close quarters. I’ll leave that to those who enjoy that sort of thing.
2. I would much rather wrestle a female...they smell better. Would even let her win to avoid having to wrestle a guy.
