Husker_Du replied to SNL Wrestling's topic in College Wrestling
would love to have any of you come. it's at 'TownHall' in Cleveland at 7pm on Wednesday. Izzy and I will be there with Lance Palmer, some of the other RAF brass and a bunch of HS and college coaches including Josh and Scott Moore. -
There were 100 DI programs cut across all sports just in the last few months. Thankfully just one was wrestling.

Reading that first post reminded me of something I saw as a kid, around 35-37 years ago. There was an elderly Afghaninstani man who used to sell vegetables in our neighborhood with a pushcart. One day, while he was pushing it down our street, some officers showed up and arrested him for being undocumented. They took him away, and the cart—still full of vegetables—was left sitting there in the middle of the street. I’ve remembered that old man ever since. That image never left me.

So true. 100% agreed. It will still fail miserably. But it won't be for the same reasons. Just new ones.

So soon after?

Yesterday, someone posted this comment on an Iranian football website. He was clearly a supporter of the Islamic Republic. He started by saying that football doesn’t matter when “1,000 of our loved ones” have been killed—by which he didn’t mean ordinary people, but IRGC commanders. Then he criticized the platform’s owner—who’s actually very popular among Iranians—for not condemning Israel’s attack. He ended his comment with “I’d die for my leader,” “I’d die for my country,” and included the Islamic Republic’s flag. Of course, by “my country,” he meant the Islamic Republic itself. Anyway, I wanted to share this so you could see the like-to-dislike ratio on the comment: 22 likes and 69 dislikes. One of the likes was probably from the commenter himself (the platform allows that). Obviously this isn’t a scientific or random sample of society, but based on what I’ve seen, I think the ratio of regime supporters to opponents in the general population might not be that different.

What’s the Best Piece of Advice You’ve Ever Received?
GreatWhiteNorth replied to jross's topic in Non Wrestling Topics
I see that. And, in particular, I see that 1979 was 46 years ago. Probably something you need to rethink. -
No, not at all. Are you kidding? If you don't see Musk as a legitimate player here, you're confused. The rest of this story isn't written. Trump is the egomaniacal blowhard he's always been. And these "ideas" that are attributed to him all come from other people. Much smarter other people who gave donations to him. He is literally a King in that sense. Taking money from all and bought by the highest bidder as long as his ego allows it. His only interest is in counting his money. Policy can simply be sold to the highest bidder - very much like it's currently done in the middle east. NONE of his policies come from him, they all come from the highest bidders. (Yes, the Executive branch of the US Government is now run exactly like a sh**hole country in the middle east. It's true.) The rest of the Republicans run scared - even if they obviously disagree with Trump. They have to choose between career suicide or going along with the Trump pack and holding their nose for 3 more years. No surprise, politicians cave. BUT Musk knows all of this and has the money to shake it all up. And given Trumps approval rating slump - a lot of people still like Musk and see that he might be the less shady of both these shady guys. (Which I believe... slightly.) Is it all about trump? No. He's a puppet king and not a tiny bit more. At this point, it's all about Elon.

I don’t see how it’s hypocritical to distinguish between legal and moral responsibility. A country can be held legally accountable for past or present wrongs—and reparations might be part of that, sometimes funded through taxes. But that doesn’t mean individual taxpayers are personally to blame. No one should feel ashamed for something their ancestors or previous governments did -

Just asking them to pay for it even though they had nothing to do with it. -

When will the wrestling community admit there's a problem?
Hammerlock3 replied to Tripnsweep's topic in College Wrestling
i'm sympathetic to what you're saying, but lets take the youth coach example, and for now keep it in the verbal domain, whats the line? Do you have a hard and fast rule? What is a "complete psycho"? Plenty of people look unhinged and are fine, but the most dangerous people are the opposite, so whats the change of policy we need? -

Who’s blaming current white people for what someone did 200 years ago? -
I'm glad Cleveland State was at least able to get a national qualifier with Daniel Bucknavich for their final season.

Womens wrestling is on the rise which could help prevent programs being cut from title ix, like a lot of sec schools were. But the lack of profit from wrestling is gonna make it hard for most smaller schools to keep it around...
