John Morgan 54 Report post Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) 14 hours ago, Katie said: Wrestling is certainly under pressure at the Olympics. It stinks. The pressure, however, is not caused by other sports. The pressure is caused by wrestling’s gender imbalance (thanks to Greco) and by a relative lack of interest by spectators. The answer, however, is not to attack other sports. The answer is to make wrestling better. I agree their is a gender imbalance in wrestling but GR isn't a "johnny come lately" sport.

A “Johnny come lately” sport that has been contested since the first modern Olympics in 1896... Based off a style of combat/training from Ancient Greece... fukn mook...

I was on the 1989 GR World Team which happened to be the 1st year women's wrestling appeared. Edited June 28, 2019 by John Morgan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I should I’d have known such a ridiculous post was a mistake... but, defending the best and most popular style of wrestling against the sheeple gets wearisome at times...
