  1. I say good for this guy. I’m getting kinda tired of seeing women force their way into everything that is male dominated. Some places it’s fine – the job market for example. But some things need to be left to the men.
    I don’t like listening to a woman call a men’s basketball game on tv or seeing women refereeing men’s games, either. ( I have been waiting for a comment anywhere about one female referee who was huddled with the other male refs during a college game on tv and she patted the one guy on the rear end. If this had been reversed, one can only imagine the brouhaha that would have resulted.)

  2. WHAT???? So, what do you think when you see a male coaching a women’s team? What do you think when a male officiates a women’s basketball game? They do not offer wrestling because of the lack of interest – just like cheerleading is dominated by women but men can cheer if they like. It works both ways.

  3. I never have liked those male cheerleaders. I just can’t stand those guys. They ought to make the guy wear a dress and then wrestle.

  4. Just because we can do all we want….doesn’t mean we should. One sex coaching another is not even close to one sex giving another a cross face or pulling arms through crotches.

    I support the kid’s decision to pass on this situation. Sexes are different and its good to respect and honor those differences not to ignore them for PC purposes.

  5. I didn’t say I didn’t respect the young man’s decision – my comment was addressed to I’m a woman on her double standards or maybe she didn’t enjoy UCONN run for the record and Coach Geno’s comments after he tied the record.

  6. A woman can hold any position on any topic she wishes, but she shouldn’t have any position except “observer” when it comes to wrestling holds to/from teen boys. Bears, maybe. Boys, maybe, but on their own in private encounters, not with boys in public, sanctioned high-school matches.
