  1. All of this is true. So very true. We primarily ex wrestlers are the only fans of wrestling. Do we watch or support tae Kwon do? Probably not (unless you happen to have done it…. And there is nothing wrong with that. Do we support kick boxing or competitive hobby horsing? we talk about growing the sport and making it main stream as if that’s possible. It’s very likely not.
  2. The USA supports both styles. There is a folkstyle season the insane vast majority of kids/high school / college athlete participate in. There is a summer season that is solely freestyle if they choose. There are national tourneys for freestyle. There are state tournaments for freestyle. There are freestyle only clubs. there are regional qualifiers. There are world level events. The fact that the vast Majority of athletes and fans prefer folkstyle should tell you what you need to know. There are even otc / rtc(s) that pay you to train. Henry cejudo anyone?
  3. Suuuuuure you are. I’m talking about white collar corporate American jobs. Not union worker city jobs. You live in a strange entitled world boss. And yes it is comparable.
  4. It’s an issue that got him votes. It’s sort of how elections work.
  5. What would happen to me…… In my corporate job if I publically bad mouthed my ceo. Short cut I would be fired. Your outrage is meh boss.
  6. Meh. A highly political professional field done got political. In a world where for the next 4 years y’all will complain about 101% of the things Trump does you gotta pace out your outrage. You know. Pick your hill to die on.
  7. Full disclosure. I don’t know if this is true. Anyone know if this has any truth to it? I copied from the Iowa board for the record There’s a lot of stuff around drug testing that most fans don’t have a clue about. As far as sourcing goes, I’ve been in and around drug testing protocols for 25 years both in and out of the NCAA. I won’t go so far as to say I’m an expert, but I do know a little bit. Post-Covid, the NCAA drug testing protocols around championship events have been greatly reduced. Hell, they didn’t do any testing at championships at all from 2020 until 2022 and the numbers since 2022 are a fraction of what they were before. They just haven’t tested much. The vast, vast majority of drug tests are performed by the university and not the NCAA. Probably 5:1 or higher. Any failures are investigated and handled internally with no direct NCAA involvement. The only way the NCAA gets involved in those tests is if someone leaks them the test results and they are really bad. Another element that people aren’t thinking about is the difference between a standard drug test and one that tests for PED’s. The process to test for PED’s is a lot more robust and is in turn much more costly. It’s normally 15-20x the cost to test for PED’s than it is for a standard drug test. Because of the expense, they are don’t a LOT less frequently. The NCAA normally runs 10-12k PED drug tests in division 1, 2, and 3 combined. There are 150k student athletes in D1 alone…over 500k when you include all NCAA student athletes. Roughly 2.5% of all student athletes will get a PED test annually. These tests are all random and who gets popped is at the mercy of that randomness. It’s not targeted. The timing of the testing is almost as random…guys can get pulled in the early season, late season, or school-year off season. Statistically, less than 50 D1 wrestlers will get tested annually. Not 50 D1 starters. Not 50 D1 Championship participants. Less than 50 total. A non-starter is 2-3 times more likely to get a random PED test than a starter. There’s also no control over when these PED tests happen. A guy could get tested in September or May. If we are being honest, this is a situation where the NCAA doesn’t want to stamp out PED usage so much as they want to appear that they are. If you get popped, the punishment is incredibly harsh…but the likelihood of getting popped is really, really low. If they were serious about actually reducing/eliminating PED usage, they would test every athletes 3-4 times/year. It wouldn’t take long to clean it up. Hit football players in August, October, January, and May. Hit wrestlers up in September, December, March, and May. The costs would be significantly higher, but personally I would rather see the NCAA spend an extra million a year doing that instead of hiring 5 more lawyers for advisory roles.
  8. It’s pretty common for a new political party to fire the lawyers who aren’t part of that party. Notice I didn’t list said party as they both do it.
