    So if you wouldn’t take that approach, you understand the criticism, but also don’t believe he should be criticized?
  2. russelscout
    Don’t put it out there if you can’t handle being criticized. People are allowed to disagree with Christians words and actions, especially the fanatical like Brooks and it sounds like yourself.
  3. russelscout
    And you believe that after a wrestling match is a completely normal time to make that distinction about salivation?
  4. russelscout
    If he is gonna put it out there, and criticize other religions after a secular wrestling event, that’s fine, but it doesn’t mean we can’t point out that it was odd and Brooks is an over the top Christian weirdo. That’s no criticism of the religion. I am super close to people who are very devout Christians. However, if you actually believe the way he talks isn’t weird, then either you are also weird or you’re lying to yourself.

    For me it was the comments like “can’t go into detail, but pray for me because I’m going through a lot… way more than any of you” or “here are the ways my life/kid/job is better than yours…” I was worried I’d do serious damage to my vision with all the hard eye rolling.

    Can’t open I don’t have Facebook.

    The Olympics are a competition against nations, not races… this is an incredibly dumb take.

    For sure! Disappointed to see Micic out though. That was going to be a win for Lee imo…

    I don’t remember their matches in the past, although I probably saw them. Gotta imagine Sarah has trouble getting to any offense? Seems like she has trouble getting to the legs on the best at the weight.

    Thanks, same to you! Yeah, my life has seen some pretty drastic changes, and kept me off the boards since themat.com days. Still lurking from time to time… but you know I gotta be checked in for the Olympics and see Lee get his gold.

    Mongolian is 2-0 against Hildebrand… gonna be a tough semis

    No. It’s more risky, but there’s also more reward. My point is that it doesn’t really change anything and does nothing to increase the frequency of attacks. You can now score an early takedown and have 2 stall calls to play with which is too bad since the number one issue in the sport in my opinion is refs refusing to call stalling. We have yet to see it be a major issue so far, but I expect we will see a lot of sitting on first period leads come conference championships and the NCAAs

    What if someone scores a takedown off of the others offensive attack? It also makes offensive attacks more risky.
  15. russelscout
    It’s also more risky to give up a takedown… I’m not sure that it actually encourages offense…

    Score once and sit on a lead. This was already a problem and this makes it worse. This in no way guarantees that wrestlers will attack more frequently. It’s not rocket science.
  18. russelscout
    Maybe next year.

    One score and put the running shoes on! Great for the sport! This rule did nothing to solve stalling and boring matches… if anything, it will make it worse.
  20. russelscout
    There is more room to stall with a lead. By increasing the value of a takedown, you’ve devalued everything else, including stalling points. It’s a lot safer to do nothing and fend off attacks than to risk being offensive, give up 3 on a go around, and blow a lead.
  21. russelscout
    Just wait… by the end of the season that might change
  22. russelscout
    I think we will look back at the 3 point takedown as a huge mistake. Guys already were getting one takedown and sitting on the lead for a win. Now you can do that even more. Get a takedown in the first, allow two escapes, get an escape of your own, and with a 2 point lead you can get 2 stall calls and win the match. The leadership behind this decision is f’ing stupid…. Not to mention they changed the one thing fans actually engage in; yelling TWOOOOO when there is a takedown.
  23. russelscout
    3 point takedown is idiotic. You’ve now made it easier to get one takedown and ride out and sit on a lead.
  24. russelscout
    I’m wondering what the response would be if a wrestler after the match just said “God isn’t real and people who believe in him are stupid.”
  25. russelscout
    No reason this should take this long.
