"As a matter of conscience and my faith I do not believe that it is appropriate for a boy to engage a girl in this manner. It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa."

I’m not so sure about this. It’s not like they wrestle naked or anything. I wrestled in HS and never grabbed anyone’s crotch or anythig like that. I would have just wrestled her... pin her promptly and call it a day.

This girl's record is 20-13 in Iowa, which is one of the nation's strongest wrestling regions.

Like I said on another thread, she deserves the respect of an athlete and earned her way there pinning and beating the best on a level playing field.

Too bad the young man couldn't get past whatever issues he had and face her as an athlete.

Teen Male Refuses to Wrestle Girl Due to Faith

Not to mention, due to common decency.

>>>Believers in Grace Fellowship<<<

I believe the pastor of this church is a FReeper. I know his excellent Chritian articles are posted here regularly. I’ve been familiar with his writings for many years and his is very sound and courageous.

Apparently, his flock is learing well and following his example.

Why exactly is it a matter of faith?

Conscience, faith, whatever it’s an out.

What male teen wants to be faced with;
a) beats a girl
b) get beaten by a girl

"It is unfortunate that I have been placed in a situation not seen in most other high school sports in Iowa."

But a situation he was aware could happen. Now that it has he's taken a principled stand and is standing by his beliefs. He is to be congratulated for that.

Oh - he’s “home schooled”; everyone knows how THEY are. /s

The relentless, overwhelming prejudice against normal is a bit much these days.

I understand the young mans reasons to be quite sound. He’s a young Christian man and feels this is inappropriate contact and why should he be chastised for it? What happened to ‘’tolerance’’ and respect for someone’s beliefs? (excluding Muslims. I don’t give a damn what upsets the head-choppers.)
