If you want to ruin the sport for the youth level implement mat side weigh-ins for every match at a tournament. Now Mom and Dad will love it when they sit around for two hours for little Johnny's match and find out he drank too much Gatorade beforehand and can't wrestle.

It's not the less weight cutting that is the issue with this. It is the fact that tournaments will run longer, require more equipment(scales), and require more workers. On top of that we do not need kids to be worrying about their weight and what they are eating or drinking for 10+ hours of the day while in the middle of a competition. Dealing with enough teenagers, they are dumb and worrying about them for one weigh-in is way more than enough stress. Now you have to worry about it for 5 matches while coaching and making sure he isn't sneaking off to go chug a water.

One weigh-in is not an issue, it's up to 5 or more for a multi-match day that is going to cause issues. No kid should have to worry about their weight for 5 weigh-ins in one day. I don't care if you are wrestling your natural weight or 10lbs up, you'll still have to be overly aware of everything you eat and constantly check your weight in case you are over. Kids do not need an unhealthy obsession with checking their weight 20 times in one day. That is flat out wrong and will hinder the sport. Multiple weigh-ins in one day create more issues than it will attempt to solve.

It's not about wrestling at your natural weight, it's how much your weight can fluctuate throughout the day. On top of that you're engaged in a physically demanding sport every hour. Now after a tough match you have to be aware of how much water/gatorade you have on top of preparing for battle. As a coach now you would need to monitor those kids that are naturally close all day long on top of coaching and dealing with the crazy parents.

Having kid monitor their weight to weigh in multiple times a day is a scary thought. We are talking about teenagers or youth kids who should be enjoying themselves between matches, not worrying about drinking too much water after a match. That kind of stuff causes extreme eating disorders. On top of that, if you want to run kids and parents out of the sport this is exactly the way to do it. No one should be forced to make weight multiple times during the day.

Don't worry he just doubled down on his takes.

I'm letting him dig his own grave here. He has been banned from other boards for *surprisingly* racist comments.

Neither side seems to care about civilians here. Neither is the good guy in this situation and it will only continue to get worse until one side's eternal goal of totally eliminating the other is accomplished.

Nice attempt to minimalize sexual assault.

So you're a flat-earther... that explains a lot.

Do you believe the earth is flat?

Pretty simple question, do you believe the earth is flat?

@TitleIX is ripe for reform care to answer my question?

Well back then the prevailing opinion was that some people are a few grains short of a beach if you get what I'm sayin'.

Edited the original reply, I referenced the wrong Ferrari's case. It was dismissed https://www.oscn.net/dockets/GetCaseInformation.aspx?db=payne&number=CF-2022-306&cmid=414194

Good luck with that. By chance do you believe the Earth is round or flat?

But what if she wants to be a capital X?

I love how every article says "Twitter (now known as X)" in it. Should we continue to deadname X or let it change to it's preferred name? This is a big conundrum.

Let's just call it BBW for short, okay?

We don't want facts to get in the way of your opinions, I fully understand that. Can you explain this then? 9 steel gates of Arizona's border wall ripped off by monsoon storms, 5 completely missing https://www.12news.com/article/news/special-reports/at-the-border/9-steel-gates-of-arizona-border-wall-ripped-off-by-monsoon-storms-5-completely-missing/75-d1140599-f255-4b95-ad58-79f8b65cdce0 Or this Trump’s border wall, vulnerable to flash floods, needs large storm gates left open for months https://www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/trumps-border-wall-vulnerable-to-flash-floods-needs-large-storm-gates-left-open-for-months/2020/01/30/be709346-3710-11ea-bb7b-265f4554af6d_story.html Since you seem to be a border wall and fence expert, I think you probably need to head to the southern border and build it better.
