A pretty important guy said “in fact it was the same date, the exact same date the end of the civil war, it was meant for the babies of slaves, so clean and so obvious” …is it your contention that the word “only” is not implied there? But if we’re going to be that literal here, then you might want to take a look at the word “all” in the actual amendment…

A poster here claims he was kicked off the team and that he’d be surprised if anyone else picked him up, but never gave specifics about what happened

Lol that seems awfully nitpicky. Or does that mean you think it should apply to anyone then?

I mean I see zero chance they try to make it retroactive other than the February date in the EO, but I guess you never know

Figured this deserved its own thread. What do we think the Supreme Court will decide on this? I’m not sure. I’m no legal expert, but the “BuT iT wAs OnLy InTeNdEd FoR sLaVeS!” argument doesn’t seem very credible to me, as the actual amendment says nothing about slaves and the way it is written is very broad: https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-14/ All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. However, the main case considered to set the precedent for this is probably where Trump has a better argument: Wong Kim Ark. People that think the overturning of birthright citizenship is going to go through seem to be hanging onto the fact that Ark’s parents were “permanently domiciled,” even if not citizens. https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/169/649/ Any predictions?

We have confirmation from AJ. Carmine is not real.

Has there been any mention of how much these guys are getting paid? Considering the names they have, it’s got to be pretty significant. Which unfortunately means IMO there is zero chance it brings in more revenue than costs

Fair enough. Better tell this to the many conservatives that think Mamdani shouldn’t be mayor of NYC because he’s a Muslim though.

If he had just said “Jesus is the one true prophet,” I don’t think he would have gotten much backlash. It was adding in the “no false prophets, no Muhammad no anyone else” line that crossed the line IMO.

Still much different than being accused of rape…

Do many Muslims say Jesus is a false prophet?

Had not heard that. Even if that’s true what would that have to do with targeting firemen?

This one didn’t seem politically motivated. Looks like more a factor of living through a parents’ divorce, possibly witnessing abuse, etc. The shooter was likely not conservative, although his parents were. Just enough information for both sides to blame the other, in reality it was probably the fault of neither

This podcast says at 1:02 that they believe the reason for Arnold’s dismissal (or at least the final straw) was that the staff asked him to come to campus and he did not. No mention of lying about a camp, but there was mention of him being on vacation with his girlfriend. This was the first I’ve seen a media member talk about an actual reason for his departure. I was surprised Flo basically chalked it up to “well he probably wasn’t going to start anyway.” Which is particularly stupid because they’d need him if Kennedy or Ferrari get hurt, maybe even Caliendo if it happened early enough to allow Kennedy to drop to 165. And BOTH Caliendo and Kennedy graduate this year, so they could have easily just had him “medical redshirt” like Nagao and Facundo.

*SD, yes I knew there were other guys besides Buchanan and Teemer that did that last year, thank you for the reminder

So how were Buchanan and Teemer able to just show up at Iowa (and I think guys at other schools did similarly)? Were they all grad students?

Fair point, IAWrestle’s official x account didn’t even make a post about it…

Wrong thread?

It would be pretty crappy for Iowa not to comment. Hopefully they will eventually. Maybe now Brands will learn to wrestle his best team. If they started Arnold as a true freshman they may have been able to get 2nd. And now he’ll be scoring zero points for them.

Does this mean they wrestled exactly to their seed every year, or the average of their placements was the same as the average of their seeds?

Sounds like @Husker_Du knows. Said on Iowa board that it had nothing to do with Nicolls’ post. So I’m guessing the first we’ll hear of the reason is a post from Minnow that has 75% of the details correct

So is Bartlett saying he told Cael someone accused Starocci of raping them?

I read the Facebook post from the Southern Oregon wrestler, that did not sound consensual. My understanding is Perry’s relarionship(s) was never accused of not being consensual (similar to the allegations about Starocci). That’s a pretty significant distinction IMO.

How many R’s in Starocci?

So do you know anything about the Moorman situation? And with the Park Merry situation, was that even anything that was potentially criminal? Obviously not a good look and I get other athletes getting upset about it, but my understanding was that was a relationship between consenting adults. Very different from the Starocci allegations IMO
