Also IIRC someone suggested previously that Ono would be on a J-1 (cultural exchange visa) with PSU, but I don't think it gets him around NIL & compensation. He's going to PSU because he loves the sport and is willing to wrestle under Cael on his own dime. Probably not a ton of guys out there like that.
-
I guessing he googled woke idiots.

The problem is that international athletes aren't eligible for NIL under their F-1 visa. There were loopholes to the employment & compensation restrictions, but it sounds like it's even more of a grey area after the House settlement and the risk would shift from the athlete to the school now: "Historically, NIL-related immigration compliance was seen as a concern only for individual athletes. If international student-athletes violated the terms of their F-1 visa, the consequences —- visa revocation, deportation, or reentry denial —- were theirs alone to bear... [But] with schools now positioned to directly compensate athletes, they face heightened exposure to legal risks, including civil and criminal penalties, reputational harm, and potential loss of federal funding, if they directly compensate international student-athletes on their rosters who are not authorized for employment by the Department of Homeland Security." Programs like the Ivies, Stanford, Northwestern, UM, UVA, etc. with elite academics could sidestep this and sell international recruits on the piece of paper they'd receive upon graduation, but obtaining an F-1 under the current administration is a far more burdensome (and slow, because they're backlogged) process now, with the screening & vetting, travel bans, and wait times. The DHS has also proposed changes to F-1 rules that would require international students to reapply and go through the process all over again, before their academic term is complete. I like the idea of bringing in more athletes from overseas, but competing here just isn't a super attractive option for international wrestlers.

Again. Dems are to blame. When they started the defund the police movement the number of people willing to take the job decreased dramatically. Who did you think was going to become the police force when you can’t fill the police force??? Only option is the military.

We had something like that in high school when there was an assembly featuring a hypnotist.

That’s a great question I hope you answer. Why did the democratic mayor of Washington DC ask congress for the national guard to fight crime two years ago? also. Please let me know what rights the guard are eroding.
-
What rights are the NG eroding?
-
That's a red herring. Why would anyone support of the deployment of the United States military into the streets of its cities so it can act as a police force? It's amazing to me how many people support and cheer on the erosion of their rights.

But Vent does shoot during his matches. Spratley rarely does.

It’s also much more popular than you think. I may have messed up my Google cookies for a while though so there is a tangible down side to it Role model for the child here there are more but I think you get the point
-
Plausible? Take a pole. I’m comfortable with my guess also. That should not be in schools. You understand boss.
-
how do you even know it’s an LGBTQ person or a “show”? It could just be a school pep rally or something.
-
What’s the diff how I came upon it. I may have googled “normal” and it popped up. I don’t recall. Do you attend shows like this or no? I saw some where they ride these fake horse poles in competitions too. Like fake equestrian competitions with horses on sticks. Want me to find one to show you?

28 likes. Did you just search LGBTQ & Democrats or something?

He's probably still getting over losing at the olympics. Silver and bronze back to back is brutal. He should have one more chance, but after that it's too late.

I think the Neal example is turning into the Neal exception. The NFL is not a skill sport, so it does have this small window for a couple of special individuals. But there are still specific and rare physical attributes that you need to succeed, and just being world medalist level heavyweight wrestler isn't nearly enough. I also think that some of these wrestlers are realizing that the non sports world of jobs isn't all that exciting or glamourous. I'm curious how Wyatt will pan out. Military pilot (or daresay even fighter pilot) might be one of the few non entertainment careers that can compete with freestyle wrestler.

Professional Folkstyle over freestyle

Never heard of CWA. No forums or FB pages talk about it. Flo doesn’t mention it. You go their website to see who competes and the Teams links just go to a bunch of logos. Tough to follow a group that doesn’t do outreach or list even the names of their athletes. From the site it seems like this is exactly what we’re talking about but man it’s lacking some details. -
Twas the new normal.
-
Can you define normal? I'm confused these days.
-
You’re not gonna do this as a poll? No. Not where I come from. Is this one of those rhetorical questions?

Was this a better use of the national guard. Jazz hands Tim had them lock people in the house for Covid … even shot paint balls at one resident on their porch ironic Censorship lol YouTube won’t let tne thumb nail be posted because it’s “political” lol https://youtu.be/LozQg0oX-Gw?si=qMisZOgST9DFfTP0

Maybe but Penn state and Cael have a pretty good track record with 184s

Maybe spend more on crime and less on this. You can be lgbtqwiritot+ without being this

Paragraph two i bolded. The consequences you ask? Crime lol Who would have thought Media Recap A Washington Post investigation published this week uncovered a disturbing pattern in Washington, D.C.: chronic absenteeism has exploded across the city’s middle schools, and with it, a surge in youth crime. In 2015, just 10% of middle-schoolers were chronically absent. Now, that number is over 30%. In the city’s poorest neighborhoods, that figure climbs even higher. The consequences? Staggering. Teen carjackings. Robberies. Gun violence. And in one heartbreaking case, the death of 14-year-old Irving LaBoard, an 8th-grader who had missed nearly half the school year and was found shot and killed in Fort Dupont Park. The report places blame squarely on the breakdown of early truancy interventions, a shortage of mental health staff, and a lack of meaningful community engagement. Bureaucracy is drowning the system while children fall through the cracks.
