LJB 1,495 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 1 minute ago, Class said: Maybe your take is biased a bit because you have been mocking “Flo is the devil” and now that is looking a bit foolish. for others some sexual harassment allegations have surfaced and Flo dismisses Nomad with an “effective immediately” policy. Also seems Downey was sexting several in an unwanted way. Allegations at this point but the smoke is THICK. what is foolish about it? people just **** on Flo no matter what they do because people are weak children for the most part... a person screwed up... Flo didn't screw up here... any reasonable person should be able to make that distinction... now you have children tweeting from their parents basement gloating over the fallout... really classy stuff going on out there...

CoachWrestling 318 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 So apparently Downey threatened to beat up Sarah Hildegrandt on Twitter, Downey apparently was asking for nude pictures from women, and Nomad was asking female wrestlers for bikini pics. This has been a crazy weekend for wrestling gossip. This is all allegations at this point. 1 DocBZ reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This has been a crazy weekend for wrestling gossip. This is all allegations at this point. The allegations against Downey are apparently actually worse than that. He allegedly asked for nudes from a bunch of underage girls. Goes beyond sexual harassment into sex offender territory. Good riddance (hopefully).

Antitroll2828 602 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 Downey made the mistake of posting a screenshot of a conversation with RBY with rby agreeing Greco is boring and saying our coach likes us to stay out of the drama, so once he pissed Cael off you know its game over for Downey Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just to ask- might he have been asking for publicity photos? Not that that wouldn't be a problem but it would be as much for Flo as him and a different level of issue than what's being mentioned about PD3.

Yeah I think it's definitely different than the alleged Downey situation, although still not good obviously. It appears a "Flo employee" (has it been confirmed to be Nomad?) was basically suggesting they POST them, not DM them, I presume because he thought that might help their marketability.

That's cool. Not sure. I would assume 143 but ashnault was wrestling more than that and caldwell fights at 135. I remember flo saying pletcher was going up a weight (I doubt they meant 2 pounds more than his college weight). Couldn't be 154 right? Or would they just agree on something arbitrary? Didn't that last flo event give everyone a 5 pound allowance? Maybe it would be 143+5? I'm just guessing Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flo will never be able to win with the vocal minority no matter what they do... it is a losing battle that they will never be able to win because of the ability for every one to tweet from their parents basement... those are the type of people who are the most vocal... the "Karens" of the world... the self proclaimed "Brains" and "Kings" who look for validation where ever they can get it... but, whatever... we all know...

ConnorsDad 570 Report post Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) 11 hours ago, Class said: Yeah, maybe so. With the benefit of hindsight I think I may have misinterpreted the message and he was saying that "we" let him go but it upset me because we were boys. Regardless, he could have used the platform a bit better. Similarly, Nate Jackson had some really well thought out and well articulated messages on the subject. That was very impressive. You have officially been barred from this forum. Anybody who comes on here and admits a mistake, and there are so few of us on here, well we just can't have that.

I don’t know if Zahid is available and or even eligible, but I think that would be an interesting matchup. Since it’s an exhibition not affiliated with a USAW event is there a eligibility conflict? Though keeping out any grappling event until his situation is finalized is probably a smart move to stay in the good graces of the organization and UWW. Who knows of his readiness. Although under the current situation it’s likely not a good look for Flo. Edited July 13, 2020 by MadMardigain Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
