I now know who is a rabid democrat, rabid republican, reading these replies.   To all those who replied with a neutral response, with you.

But most attending NCAAs went to the colleges that are competing or some other college.  If you look at the voting patterns/demographics of college graduates, most are liberal and less religious than the population as a whole.

There’s a bracket at the NYAC with the Donald getting pinned in a tournament. I saw the screen shot on a friends phone this weekend. Like it or not, he did wrestle.

 Great - as soon as I see that bracket, I'll be a believer.

Otherwise, we're still at square one - everyone insisting something's true without anyone provide any documented evidence.

Rabid republican- Believes it's okay to attack police officers and try to overthrow a free and fair election in order to install a sit-time bankrupt, stupid,lying racist who brags about sexually assaulting women as king of America

Rabid Democrat- Thinks the above is a bad idea.

 

BOTH ARE THE SAME!

You are questioning Jason Bryant one of the most respected journalists and media professionals in our sport.  His work is recognized in the National Wrestling Hall of Fame.    You are obviously just here to troll.

I have no reason to doubt @Jason Bryant.  Unfortunately, terrible people can be wrestlers.

just checking in to verify that all of the hand wringing and pearl clutching was for naught, right?

I don’t know whether to post the bracket or the clip from Family Guy about Kevin Bacon not being in Footloose.

I was also traveling yesterday, so my humblest apologies in not instantly providing proof. I hate politics, and there’s a lot of people in our sport I wish wouldn’t identify themselves as part of our community.



But here’s the pic my friend took when he was at the NYAC not that long ago.

For the record, I have no problem with him being there.  Plenty of people I don't like go every where all the time.

168 lbs?  I'm assuming this was a Cadet aged bracket.

It's ok, Donald, I'm fat, too.

[Jason Bryant]

Definitely a Preps tournament based on all the schools represented there. I’m assuming this may have been an event “hosted” by Horace Mann School or a bracket given to the NYAC from the event.

[Jason Bryant]

That's also future NCAA champion and NWHOF Distinguished Member Bill Harlow in the bracket. 

[Jason Bryant]

... and let's add one more log to the fire. Once I saw Harlow's name, I researched the National Preps (I've got the placers in a separate database) and sure enough, this is the 168-pound bracket at the National Prep Championships in 1962. 

1. Bill Harlow (St. Andrew's, Tenn.)
2. Roger Oleson (Hill School, Pa.)
3. Marshall Taylor (Norfolk Academy, Va.)
4. John Logan (Friends, Pa.)

Exactly----after all, they allow Io_a fan in, don't they?

Hard to fill up those stands if you don't let those Iowa yahoos in.

Thank you. I stand corrected.

Holy shit, cry about it.

According to @UmarLeeIII the NCAA was directing wrestlers to have their picture taken with Trump; https://bloodyelbow.substack.com/p/editorial-2023-ncaa-wrestling-championships

Holy politics!

Aside from trump for recently claiming the greatest existential threat to Americans, are other Americans (and we ain’t taking about the rich here in his mind). Kudos to him for a) coming to nationals and staying the whole time. The greatest wrestling show on earth after worlds and perhaps tsbilsi.  b) kudos to ESPN for not showing him beyond the one time they did.

Yeah, I noticed that too. 

As for any controversy, Trump is a private citizen and can go where he wants.   He pays the entry fee, he gets in.  It really is pretty simple.   Making this about politics is ridiculous.   Did anything happen that wouldn't have happened if Trump was not there?  In a bad way I mean, other than folks wanting to get an autograph or a pic.
