A no win situation. If you win. You beat up a girl. If you lose. You got beat by a girl.
Some just take a dive.
Is this the message we want to teach boys? It’s OK to throw girls around?
One sad note from the update page:
After joining her high school wrestling team and still not being allowed to practice with or wrestle against boys, Tara decided to leave the team. In 2004, Tara and her boyfriend Andrew had a baby daughter.
Still in school and haveing a kid.
One interesting thing. As I was watching this show. One of my daughters who is a senior in HS ( wrestling is a Very big thing in our school) came in a watched the show.
And I asked her if there’s any girls at our school who want to go out for this. And she said No.
As a matter of fact she said the teem was even trying to recruit some girls for the lower weight classes. So when they went to matches. The other teem would half to forfeit because there was no one in that weight class and the teem would get the points.
They found no takers.
To bad we got some good healthy farm girls ( and I don’t mean fat) around here.
Heck my one daughter here can pickup and fling a 80 lb. bale of hay. ( and goes deer hunting too)
As long as girls don't expect any special treatment or qualification easements, I expect it's OK. They also have to remember that if they want to be on a boys' team, boys will be boys sometimes, so either put your foot down (not a lawyer's), suck it up, or find yourself a girls' team.
Boys and girls have been wrestling on the same mats same Adam and Eve. What's the big deal?
Unfortunatly this will not be a problem for long.
Title IX is slowly eliminating the wrestling programs. Wrestling scholarships are dead in favor of women's rowing.
...and for the record a girl should not be wresling a boy and vice versa. (except in private an I don't want to know any more)
I'm curious - why does the girl in the initial post not have on headgear, but the boy does? In many states, headgear is mandatory.
okay... let's see... teenage boy... firm teenage girl... wrestling suit... nope won't be able to hide it. To quote "Raymond" the launch sequence should be activated.
still in school and had a baby....guess she got pinned at least once didn't she?
