How could you not want to send your kid to VT after seeing this level of love and sacrifice? Amazing man.

Just so you all have the correct rendering (KJB) of the 100% true account of Jacob wrestling with God → see below. (Yes, I am a Bible believer and not ashamed of it. If you can believe Gen 1:1 then you will have no problem believing anything in the Bible. If you doubt Gen 1:1, then you will doubt much of the Bible.) Gen 32:24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. Gen 32:25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. Gen 32:26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Gen 32:27 And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. Gen 32:28 And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

The way I see it is that they have 9 starters that are currently that are NCAA finalist caliber. Insane.

Cael is a Mormon, different Jesus. Kyle said that he found Jesus through the death of his father, not through Penn State.

Evan-jelly-ism has zero discernment and we are seeing that on display in the case of Kyle Snyder.

Wow, Bo wins the Bo-down showdown

FCA is fellowship of Christian athletes. Snyder had a whole ministry to traveling to put on various camps that taught children how to live a God honoring life and teach them wrestling. Hence the hypocrisy.

There is no reason to believe that he sought out an underage girl. The problem is that he is signing up to hire someone that could be an underage victim of sex trafficking. It’s not like Kyle was going to ask the gal for her ID to validate her age and run a background check on her to make sure that she was not a victim of trafficking.

It is because A) He got arrested ordering a prostitute B) He is an Olympic gold medalist C) The face of FCA wrestling and D) Proclaims the image of the clean Christian guy that every mother would want their daughter to date. This is the wrestling version of if Peyton Manning or Steph Curry got picked up for prostitution.

You would be mistaken if you think it is just a fringe minority of people that are victimizing Kyle. There were plenty of people white knighting for him and making all kinds of excuses and/or diminishing what he did. The facts of reality are that Kyle Snyder has been the face of FCA wrestling in America for quite some time, has a wife and two children, has perpetrated himself as a man of great faith and integrity and he completely let down a lot of people with his actions. Does that mean that he is irredeemable? Absolutely not. I pray that he gets his life back on track and becomes a better man. But he should be rightly lambasted as a hypocrite for his shameful acts.

Here is the proper kind of response from KS former teammate.

When you follow Calvinism to it's logical conclusion you land in determinism or that God determines all that happens. Calvinism is a wicked Gnostic system and Snyder's response sounds like someone that adheres to Calvinism to me.

The Bible says not to judge hypocritically (Mat 7:1) and not to judge over matters of Christian liberty of personal preference (Romans 14 talks about this). But the Bible does tell believers to let your love abound in all knowledge and judgement (Phil 1:9), he who is spiritual judgeth all things (1Co 2:15), judge not according to appearance but judge righteous judgement (John 7:24). Read 1 Corinthians 5 where the man in the assembly was living immorally and the Apostle Paul told them to kick the man out of the assembly until he repents and changes his ways. And by the way, it worked. The man repented and was restored in 2 Corinthians 2. Most evangelicals take Matt 7:1 and make it a blanket statement against any judgement regardless of what it is but that is taking the verse out of context and twisting it to fit an agenda. Christians are to judge other Christians with righteous judgement with the intent of restoration. Christians are not to judge hypocritically.

I believe so. If you just type in Kyle Snyder FCA (Fellowship of Christian Athletes) you can see all kinds of work that he has done at FCA camps, videos, etc.

I don't want to get into a theological discussion on this board but suffice to say that Christian's are held to a higher standard as ambassadors from Jesus Christ. Additionally, Christian's are told to judge over and over again in the Bible. The only time that Christians are not told to judge is that we are not to judge as hypocrites.

I surely hope so. It is hypocrisy when you preach to young athletes the importance of living a life that is honoring to God and then you solicit a prostitute. That is actually the definition of hypocrisy.

Snyder is a scumbag and ought to be ashamed of himself. He has been a prominent figure in FCA wrestling for a long time and has preached Christ to young athletes. This is a disgusting act for a Christian man to be partaking in and he ought to be ashamed.

Good point. The stuff a guy like Gross or Askren does is much more duplicatable for the average Joe.

And here you see my reading comprehension skills lacking LOL. I will now divert to say that Rhonna Gross is an ideal candidate because she brings Seth with her!

Yes Gross is from Minnesota. The question was not who do you think that grew up in your state would elevate the youth wrestling scene in the state though but rather who would be the ideal candidate. Since Gross was the only national champion that SDSU has had I think he would be a great candidate to grow the youth wrestling scene in SD. On top of that, his wife is a very accomplished wrestler herself and grew up in SD.

In South Dakota the answer is probably either Logan Storely (4xAA, 6x SD state champ, Belator interim champ) or Seth Gross (only national champion for South Dakota State). Gross is currently in ND running the Matpac wrestling program and I would love to see him move down into SD! Storely is still fighting and living in FL so that seems like a pipe dream at this point.

I think you have Melvin Miller mixed up with someone else. He is a sophomore and has not committed anywhere.
