That’s not racist, he’s stating a fact, and saying their taxes are artificially low, he just wants them to pay their fair share.

But lol at people taking screenshots of the dude’s own website and pretending like they’ve unearthed something he was trying to keep secret

Meh, he’s not saying to tax them at a higher rate than everyone else, he’s saying they’re not paying their fair share with the current cap. Is it not a fact that that the rich neighborhoods are more white? I’m sure the people saying this is racist are the same ones that would say “it’s not racist to point out that 13% of the population commits 51% of the violent crime, its facts” (I may not have the figure exactly correct but I’m sure you know the one, and yes I’d agree that statement on its own is not racist).

Agree, but he did probably make a million bucks last year. Hopefully he saved some of it and invested it.

I think he was just messing with the people that had already posted about it. But looks like Yianni in, Carter out.

Quoting this which was the first time you made the “people of color only received 16% of total NIL compensation” claim. No “according to” or citation of where that stat came from…

Well Beau has “said more publicly.” So maybe he was calling Starocci a puzzy

Not sure why you’re saying you don’t want to reply anymore, but if you’re saying “NIL money is predominantly a meritocracy,” then seems like we agree. But saying “well there might be a 5% disparity” is a long way from when you said “16% of NIL dollars go to people of color.” Yes I know you were quoting something else, but you seemed to take it as fact. And I’m not saying they fabricated that stat, I looked up where it came from and it said it came from Opendorse, so in all likelihood it was only based on transactions on Opendorse, which wouldn’t include the top athletes. I am curious why you think my criticism of the “one study” was “factually wrong” though. I believe @Wrestleknownothing made similar criticisms about it.

Agree. And with Starocci almost certainly being gone, I don’t think we see anyone leave that wasn’t going to already. Biggest questions to me are: 1) does this impact the Bassett decision? I’d have to think it leans him away from PSU. If he chooses PSU after this he will deservedly get a lot of flack after his comments 2) where does Starocci go (assuming no criminal charges)? Does he retire from amateur wrestling?

Hopefully Ben recovers, and then when he does he’s going to think he’s entered the twilight zone. So in the time he’s been hospitalized: -PJ Duke beats Yianni -Bo Bassett decommits -Carter Starocci accused of a laundry list of things

I don’t expect them to comment on it more than the FRL guys did, but I would have thought we would have at least seen an x post from Flo acknowledging it. Nope.

I thought the article said Bartlett never got the items back, but could be wrong. My one criticism of the article is that there is this quote in big blue letters breaking up 2 of the paragraphs, but I thought when articles do that it usually is pulled from elsewhere in the article, yet I don’t think this quote was: “I didn’t (do) all the things I should’ve done to press charges against him because I was young and really scared,” she said. “I didn’t want to accept what had happened.”

He’s been pretty clear that he is against Israel. That doesn’t mean he’s against Jews. Him beating Cuomo is evidence that NYC residents are able to separate the two, as I’m sure there were many Jews that voted for him. Edit: also, he didn’t really “use the words.” He was asked what the phrase means to him and he answered.

More evidence the $4-$5 million number for Bo was likely close to accurate

Is this about him talking about Iowa fans making gay jokes or something? I do see he at least posted some memes critical of PSU…

Yes, but 1) That wasn’t a tough question (I thought this was the joke) 2) Cael didn’t care

I’m sorry I still can’t tell if you’re joking

“Uprising, rebellion” according to Miriam-webster

You’re making a joke here, right?

Sorry can’t tell if this sarcasm…really?

I thought what we were told was there would be minimal changes UWW freestyle rules?

About the theft yes. Not clear exactly what he was aware of and what was reported about the pictures or allegations from practices. I would bet he was not aware at all about the allegations from the women.

Pico…now that would be interesting. Other than Nickal, the rest I don’t think would stand a chance against a legit wrestler.

No. Here’s a good article IMO that explains where a lot of it is coming from, but also why it’s not true: https://www.jta.org/2025/06/18/politics/in-tearful-address-mamdani-laments-criticism-following-his-globalize-the-intifada-comments

Oh snap, I hadn’t seen this article about Snyder ducking the media at Final X. https://brobible.com/sports/article/kyle-snyder-wrestling-ducks-media-final-x/
