Any fraud whatsoever? ZERO times. BAM!!!!!

Zero people said fraud doesn't exist. That's a strawman argument. I'd like you to show that it exists to anything close to the extent that DOGE claims.

You can simply Google the stuff he said about all these super old people that "dont' exist" collecting social security checks and the fact-check information.

Huh? So the opportunities for wrestling greatness are available to any kid that "chooses" it? Anything close to the same opportunities to the children of wealthy people? Seriously? You that out of touch with reality? If you really think that, please explain how a kid growing up in the inner city and attending a public school that probably doesn't even have a wrestling program or barely has one and he has to work nights and weekends to scrape by and can't attend one of these elite rich kid academies has anything close to an equal opportunity.

Thousands of people that are 150 years old or so collecting social security checks. Also, repeatedly lied about the amount of money they are "saving" the federal govt and that it was due to "fraud." All they've done for the most part is eliminate programs and fire employees but the amount was lower than claimed and almost none of it was actually "fraud." All they do is lie.

Another strawman argument. Nobody ever said that there wasn't SS fraud. This has been recognized for decades. However, it isn't nearly as bad as DOGE claims. They've repeatedly lied about the extent of it.

Huge overlap. Yes, some poor kids get opportunities but not nearly as many.

Wrestling has become a sport of the haves and have nots, just like most other sports. It's not as extreme as sports like hockey but that doesn't mean there are huge advantages for privileged kids. It used to be that you could be a successful wrestler just starting out on the high school team as a freshman. Extremely hard to do now since the rich kids are now practicing at the academies year round starting in elementary school and also travelling to tournaments around the country. That's very discouraging to the kid starting out in 9th grade, or maybe even earlier. They get absolutely destroyed by these kids that have no other worries in life so they can just train wrestling year-round with elite coaches.

Incredibly racist, to assume that every minority kid is poor.

Pretty ignorant to think there's a level playing field in sports, particularly non revenue sports, just because inner city schools do fine at basketball and only basketball. If you can't see the differences here, you are completely lost.

Funny you mention....had plenty of opportunities for a lot more that I turned down but I do fine between main job, side gigs and my fiances sweet job.

Football is a huge revenue producing sport, so people look hard and recruit for talent wherever they can. Inner city included. Talented kids are found and plucked out and given a chance. Nobody is looking for naturally gifted wrestlers in the inner city. No doubt there are plenty but they're mostly left in the dust. However, inner city public school almost always suck at football and the top teams are almost always wealthy schools.

Natural ability is more important for ball and it takes less money to play. Cultural factors at play too. There are no wrestling mats at the local park.

Well, they agree on this. At least the ones w actual PhDs

Us getting "screwed over" by countries like Canada is more trump kool-aid. Keep drinking it.

It's a disproportionately white dominated sport. Evens out a little more at elite levels once the disadvantaged kids break through to college.

Yah you focused on race. I never did. Its economics.

How many of them grew up disadvantaged? You focus too much on skin color.

Being an elite athlete in the modern era takes a lot of money. At least that provides a HUGE advantage. Especially for non revenue producing sports. Elite wrestlers train all year, with paid elite coaches. Welcome to the 21st century real world.

Yes, privileged kids excel in most sports since they can afford to get the best coaching, clinics, academies, etc. And don't have to have a job during summer and after school.

He has a big butt, even for a woman. Very female like physique.

Well, they were minor before but good pt. They are now escalating big time so thats really hurting our exports. Many u.s. manufacturers are hurting now. Even automakers because they are importing parts from overseas. Thx for bringing that up.

Economists disagree that the trade war does that. FAIL!!

Yes, Trump and the NCAA champs "sharpened" each other. Lol. Against trumps jello butt. Given that wrestling is predominantly a white/rural/ suburban sport where more privileged kids have an easier time excelling, most wrestlers overall are conservative. Not a big surprise therefore that there's a heavy republican/Jesus vibe with some of this year's NCAA Champs.

Actually did get some gold last year. That particular investment has skyrocketed due to fear and uncertainty worldwide regarding the ongoing incompetence. I hit that one on the head!!!!
