Girls who wrestled for several Puget Sound-area middle schools this year easily won their matches against boys from two private schools.
The girls stepped onto the mat. Their opponents from Tacoma Baptist and Cascade Christian stayed in their seats. The referee then raised the girls' hands to signal they'd won by forfeit.

This is just...(sigh) I don't even know what to say. These PC nuts are, well, nuts.
I wouldn't wrestle a girl in a meet. I'd quit first. I'd be too worried about the accidental liability: "HE TOUCHED ME *THERE*! SEXUAL ASSAULT!" No thanks.
(sigh) Soon golf will be the only "safe" sport.
Re: How about the boys that lose to the girls?
I think you reached the crux of the discussion.
You have to wonder about a father who would let his daughter wrestle with male counterparts.
I would bet that this idiot father would be the first one to file rape charges against the boy if he wrestled with the girl in the back seat of the car.
I don't like this at all.
Those people up in the Socialist State of Washington have gone completely nuts.
I think you reached the crux of the discussion.
The feminists are reaping what they have sown. They have made the atmosphere between men and women, not just culturally, but more importantly legally, so poisonous and perilous that many men don't trust them. So we see things like this -- out of the simple need for self preservation, men will forfeit matches rather than leave themselves open to an obvious legal danger.
This guy is obviously looking for 15 minutes of cable news fame.
He also obviously does not have a lick of common sense.
I think it's more about losing to a girl.
In wrestling such mismatch wouldn't occur as wrestlers are assigned to weight classes.
You've probably got a point...I figure it's a little of both. Probably depends on each individual wrestler and his priorities.
wait till the girls are 15 and start dating...they will have ample opportunity to wrestle with boys....albeit in the back seat.
GIRL WRESTLER: Should girls and boys should be able to wrestle on the same mat?

All this clown will end up doing is convincing the Christian schools that they need to pull out of the wrestling program altogether.
Which might be his intention.
Some of these so-called 'secular' elements in America are getting crazy.
I used to listen to Savage daily out of a broadcast in the SF Bay area, but have since moved to Southern Oregon. I miss listening to Mike, but sure as hell don't miss the nut cases in the Bay Area...
The guy ought to get his daughter to gain 400 lbs. and go for Sumo lessons in Japan...
Maybe, if we had a picture of the girl, we would understand why a boy wouldn't touch her. Wrestling may be the only way she can get groped.
Sexually harrassing boys by being forced to touch a pig of a girl they are repulsed by should be grounds for a counter-suit...
You have something here...
Dennis Rodman already wears a skirt, dyes his hair, polishes his nails...
Why not?
Heh-heh.
She related to Dennis Rodman?
