When I first heard about this, a week or more ago, it was said that it would be towards industries critical to our national defense and security. Could be anything from mining, to pharmaceuticals, to tech.

I am all for the 2 piece unless Ryan Deakin is wrestling. I want to see the gun show.

Very nice car. Is it a 1972 Pontiac Lemans. One of the guys on my wrestling team showed up to campus with a Pontiac GTO the Judge. I showed up with my 1965 Chevy pickup truck.

They really shouldn't re-produce no matter...

The forum won’t let me post pictures. I’ve sent a couple messages to @BobDole but it says he hasn’t read them.

I run our youth wrestling club. We went with the 2-piece but the cost is more than double singlets. Most youth clubs and schools operate on a shoestring budget already. Kids also are more likely to not return the 2-piece at the end of the season because it looks cool. I'll see them wearing it around town in the summer - you won't see that happen with a singlet.

Cleveland.com attracts 10 million unique users per month. Is that enough ?

Man, some of us are pro safe sex. I don't want about 90% of the posters on wrestling forums reproducing based on the conversations we have.

They arrested 37 people boss. They have arrested thousands already. We want the illegals out. They are a huge financial burden on American tax payers. They commit crimes. I’ve documented tons of those crimes. You don’t care about black and brown safety in inner city / crime ridden cities. the building was a ravaged absolutely shyte show. There are photos of what these monsters did to the building. The tenants who are there legally are better off now. You have been repeatedly asked for a better solution. Don’t let zillions of them in next time. Detained is not arrested. You and I both know the debacle at the boarder during the last administration was beyond conscious and on purpose. Let em in…. Whine when the mean republicans kick em out. It’s a viscous game these politicians are playing.

I see "CONDOM DEPOT" branding not only as a win for the sport but a personal victory...

7 likes, lol

There is a lot of merchandising potential here as well that both brands and individual wrestlers could capitalize on. For that reason alone I'm surprised the change hasn't happen yet. However, my nightmare scenario is seeing this trickle into freestyle in the worse way, to the extent that we start seeing "CONDOM DEPOT" emblazoned on the trunks of most wrestlers

I agree. BJJ's rise has brought many kids to combat sports, but also has perhaps cannibalized wrestling's participation rates. Can't help but think some kids view BJJ as more approachable due to the uniform.

So we went from it’s okay to detain an entire apartment building in the middle of the night in order to catch a whole bunch of dangerous criminals to it’s okay to detain an entire apartment building in the middle of the night to catch maybe one dangerous criminal and some people that entered the country illegally?

The cameras have not gone away. The timeline was City council voted unanimously to not renew the contract in May. In July the Mayor unilaterally extended the contract at a value just under $500k so he would not need city council approval. The cameras are all still there.

This topic has been discussed heavily on this forum even in my 10 months since joining. I don't think many of us here will disagree with your argument. The ol' junior high comments (I went to a school which had 0 wrestling tradition) of "two sweaty guys rolling around in spandex" will always be there as long as the singlet exists. At least in fight shorts and a rashguard, it resembles MMA w/o strikes. From the viewpoint of those that have never watched a wrestling match, it massively changes the first impression of the sport. I do believe that many more kids that grow up with exposure to the UFC and see former wrestlers being these tough guys would inherently grow youth participation once you remove the barrier of accepting the singlet.

https://readlion.com/oregon-now-spends-more-on-program-offering-free-health-care-for-illegal-immigrants-than-state-police/ Oregon will spend more in its current budget period on free health care for immigrants regardless of legal status than on state police by $500 million or more, according to state officials and budget documents. Oregon officials expect to spend $1.5 billion in combined state and federal taxpayer dollars on a program that offers health benefits to illegal aliens from 2025 to 2027. They expect to spend $717 million on Oregon State Police over the same period, the documents indicate. The federal government will supply 25% of the funding to provide health benefits to illegal aliens in Oregon, the OHA told the DCNF. Medicaid — the joint federal-state program that traditionally provided health services to children, pregnant mothers and disabled adults — formally bars illegal immigrants from receiving benefits. But some blue states have innovated creative accounting methods to extract federal dollars without the federal restrictions, according to the Paragon Health Institute, a non-partisan policy research group. Blue states will issue taxes on Medicaid insurers and providers, obtain a bundle of federal matching dollars for those funds, then return the taxed money to those institutions, the think tank points out. Spending on health services for illegal aliens in Oregon has climbed by at least 1100% since the program’s introduction roughly four years ago. The item in bold is describing a money laundering scheme to use federal dollars to pay for healthcare for illegal aliens. So let's not say it can't happen. The article says that too, but it is happening. mspart
